...first crew gave the second about five lengths start which they reduced by a length in the first quarter of a mile, rowing a slightly higher stroke. At the Longwood bridge the first had gained over a length more and hardly two lengths of open water separated the boats. From there to Harvard bridge, both crews raised the stroke slightly and took occasional spurts, but the first was unable to gain. If there was any difference in the relative positions of the boats at the bridge it was in favor of the second crew...
...brushes on the way home the second crew gained slightly on the first, rowing a somewhat higher stroke and with more life though with a less even beat. E. C. Storrow '89 aided Mr. Higginson in the coaching...

As the crews went under the bridge the Newell was slightly ahead, but on the other side, the Weld pulled up and slowly forged ahead. About a quarter of a mile from the finish the Weld spurted and led by a length, while the Newell seemed unable to make further effort. Near the line Boardman made a final effort but the crew failed to respond. The Weld finished a length and a half...
...short brushes between the crews they finished even for the most part, but sometimes the second gained by rowing a higher stroke. The first crew is now rowing with a more even beat than the second, and is better together, but the second seems to have more snap and life...

On Saturday Francis, who is now quite well again, was put at five in place of McGrew, who was moved to three. Bullard, who rowed at three on Friday and who has been rowing on the starboard side all this season, was changed over...
