After a slight delay, caused by rough water on the course, the boats were sent into position. Columbia had won the toss, and had chosen the west side of the course. At the word both crews got away in good form, though Columbia had manifestly the advantage of the start...
Fifth inning. For Harvard, after two men were out, Smith got his base on a muff by McCarthy and was brought in by Coolidge's superb home run hit between left and centre field. Baker flied out to McCarthy. For Dartmouth, F. Nettleton made a base hit; Thomas struck three times but Allen dropped the ball. As Thomas did not start immediately for first base, Allen threw to Coolidge in hope of making a double play. It was too late to catch Nettleton on second, but Coolidge threw to Smith in time to put out Thomas. The next two strikers...
FIRST HEAT.There were nine entries for this race which was run in three heats. Only four men started, however. The first heat was between E. Norton, '85, and George M. Hendee of Springfield. Both men got off well at the report of the pistol, though Hendee had a slight advantage. At the end of the first lap, Hendee was a length and a half ahead; at the end of the second lap, barely a length; on the third lap he drew away to his first lead of a length and a half, but Norton spurted on the home-stretch...

On account of this friendly interest, Professor Norton, who sailed for Europe last week, has been asked to represent Harvard at the approaching ceremonies, which will take place upon the fourteenth of June...
After some delay the ball was again faced and Yale in a few minutes scored a second goal by a shot of twombly. Rueter made an attempt to stop it, but Spencer, of Yale, got his nose in the way so that the ball went through the poles, and Spencer, although saving the day for Yale, had a violent nose-bleed. Harvard made several close shots for goal, and once or twice the Yale men shot dangerously near Harvard's goal; but drake was there and defended his post well, ably seconded by the defence men. Time was called...
