...rowed in the same order yesterday as on Wednesday. They used the new shell for the second time and it proved very satisfactory. It was built by Davy on very much the same lines as last year's shell, having the same fine bow and wide shallow stern. The keel is a half-inch deeper and consequently the boat is even stiffer than last year's shell of the same model...
...crews got off well together but the two first crews went to the lead at once. The first Weld then settled down to a long, even stroke and gained steadily to the finish. In spite of the rough water the men kept their boat on an even keel throughout and after the first quarter of a mile the crew rowed together splendidly. The first Newell crew did not row at all well together and only kept their place by repeated spurts. The coxswain of the third Weld steered a remarkable course for the first mile which lost his crew...
...Newell graded crews are now rounding into form. The first has been over the course twice and the second once. The first crew is well together, but lacks a strong finish; the second has difficulty in keeping the boat on an even keel and tends to rush forward badly...
...Sophomore Newell is the lightest of the five crews but the men row with a great deal of life.

Stroke, Brownell, 152; 7, Goodell, 163; 6, Bullard, 160; 5, Platt, 178; 4, R. Lawrence, 180; 3, Merritt, 158; 2, Atkinson, 164; bow, Morris, 168; cox., Jackson...

A two-mile brush with the Weld Law School eight resulted in a dead heat. Stroke, Harding (capt.); 7, Higginson; 6, Fitzgerald; 5, Biddle; 4, Gale; 3, Gray; 2, Byrd; bow, Bolling; cox., Goodridge...
