The time is one second better than the record made last spring by the Weld Freshman crew. The first Newell eight finished in second place, one-third of a length behind the first Weld. The second Newell was third, two lengths and a half behind the Newell first, and one length and a half ahead of the second Weld. The race was refereed by Mr. G. S. Mumford...

In the second, the radius is shortened to one hundred and ninety-one feet, making the curve a trifle greater. In the third, the radius is again shortened...

Half-way to Harvard bridge the order remained the same; the Seniors were gradually increasing their lead over the Law School, and the Sophomore Weld, which had fallen a length behind the Sophomore Newell, was beginning to spurt. At the bridge, the Sophomore crews had drawn up nearly even, and from there to a point within twenty strokes of the finish, they rowed side by side, neither getting a lead of more than three feet at any time...
