The crew covered four miles up stream under very favorable conditions in 20 minutes, 45 seconds. The start was easy and the stroke was kept about 30 till the last half-mile was passed, then it was gradually raised until 39 was reached in the last hundred yards.

The crew rowed hard all the way, but the time is not considered particularly encouraging. The University four-oared also rowed on the course in the morning.
