...crews started at 7.20 o'clock, Harvard going into the lead, although rowing 38 strokes to the minute as compared to 40 for Cornell. The latter soon went ahead, however, and at the quarter-mile mark was leading by a few feet. Both crews had by this time settled down to a stroke of about 36, and were rowing well. When the first mile had been covered, Cornell had increased its lead to half a length, and half a mile further on another length and a half had been added.

For a while Lightner...

Gardner led for part of the distance, but lost time in clearing the hurdles. On the last hurdle Howe secured a lead that gave him the race by the narrowest of margins. Hartranft and Rand had a close contest for third, the former prevailing...
