...Doric style. The first floor will have an arena under the dome 120 feet in diameter. Surrounding this will be a circular gallery, starting on the second floor and extending up into the dome. The second floor will also be open for a wide space running parallel with the length of the building, forming large galleries. The circular gallery under the dome will hold about...
...must be admitted that the outcome of the race was most unexpected. Although the Claverly crew had shown itself capable of pulling away from a pursuing crew, and thus avoiding a bump, on both days of the bumping races, Randolph finished at least half a length to the good on both occasions. Mount Auburn Street was a disappointment yesterday, for, although it was fairly well known that the crew was not good for a long distance, it had been expected to take the lead for the first part of the race. As it was, it was beaten by Matthews...
...start, after being delayed for some time by the unreadiness of the various crews, was made at about 4.15 o'clock. The boats got off fairly well together, the three boats which finished first being almost nose-and-nose, and Mount Auburn Street about half a length in the rear.

...division, a bad start was also made, again owing to the inability of the men to hear the pistol. Thayer and Matthews both got away poorly, and Weld came up on Matthews in consequence. When the crews settled down, however, Matthews rapidly overhauled the first boat, getting within a length at the first corner, and about three-quarters of a length shortly after. But in rounding the first and second bends the Matthews coxswain lost his crew at least two lengths, by bad steering. They continued to gain, however, once they were straightened out, and were soon within a length...
