George, who was leading slightly, took Wheelwright's water just at the finish, so that Wheelwright was forced to run into him to keep from going ashore. George finished a half a length ahead, but the race was given to Wheelwright. The race for four oared shells was won by only ten feet with both crews spurting at a high stroke. The best event of the regatta was the race of the eight-oared...
