...crew paddled down the river easily to the half mile mark and from there rowed to the start on time, covering the distance in 2m. 50s. The blade work of the starboard side was rather ragged and the boat very unsteady. The eight was sent back to the half mile flag a second time, and again rowed the distance on time. The work was vastly improved, as was shown by the new time...
...eight races. The only outside winner was Sydney West of the Hull B. C., who defeated C. A. Hurley of the Weld in the novice singles. In the junior four-oared race, the Weld made a new record of 9 m. 11 2-5s. for the mile and a half course, beating the former record of 9m. 17 2-5s., made in '95 by the B. A. A. four. The last race, that between the senior eight of the Weld B. C. and the B. A. A. and Millstream eights, was by far the most interesting...

Donovan who has entire charge of the coaching is fully satisfied with the men and has no doubt as to the crew's ability...
...coming back started a fast mile and for half the distance kept the boat on an even keel, but after the half mile, the work, particularly of Blake, No. 2, became very ragged, and all the men had a tendency to row short. The report that several of the men have been ill is untrue...
