...Lehmann started the crews from the launch at 5.05. All the boats were slow to get away, although Adams's and Goodrich's crews had a slight advantage.

Savage's crew drew the inside position next the wall; Marsh's was in number two, Hawes's in three, and Morrill's on the outside. The barge stroked by Hawes 1900, started off first and held the lead the whole way, crossing the line a length ahead of Morrill's crew. The time of the race was 7 minutes 56 seconds...
