...first six laps of the two-mile race, the pace was set by the limit men, the five scratch men running together behind the main bunch. On the seventh lap Richardson took the lead, followed closely by F. C. Williams '01, C. J. Swan '01 and E. W. Mills '02. Richardson kept ahead easily, and finished in 10m, 4s., without being pushed. Williams fell on the home stretch, and Swan finished second, and Mills third. Both were scratch men. The time for this race is within 3 1-5s. seconds of the Harvard record, made by H. B. Clark...

The eights were fortunate in finding the bridges all clear, but in passing under Harvard Bridge the first crew was slightly hindered by their oars hitting a pile beneath the water. The men were brought back from the finish...
...mile run was small. Knowles won the mile by about sixty yards, in the creditable time of 4 minutes 48 seconds. He is a strong runner and will be a valuable addition to the team. In the two-mile, Richardson led until the middle of the last lap, when Foote passed him and won by about ten yards...
