...postponed class races were rowed Saturday morning, April 16, over the Back Bay course, down stream, under fair conditions. 1900 won by a length and a half in excellent form. '98 was second, half a length in front of '99, who finished very weak. 1901 brought up the rear with their stern barely overlapping the Junior boat. The time was 9 minutes 52 1-2 seconds. The four crews caught the water well together, '99 taking the lead, and holding it for about three-quarters of a mile. At the bridge the race seemed to be between them...
