...Hudson River. On the left shore we can see the little railroad, which was built expressly for the observation trains, in which so many people see the races. The trains are made up of simple platform cars, upon which are built tiers of raised seats. These cars are never used at the races with Columbia, but when Harvard rows Yale they are in great demand, as by them one certainly can obtain the best possible view of a race.

The result is that the roll-calls abound with men who never come near the courses, and the instructors are bored with a floating population of volatile individuals who have little idea what they want.

The judges and timers were gentlemen of the highest reputation, and prominent in athletic circles, so we may feel sure that this record will never be questioned. It was a beautiful race, and it was fairly won against the only antagonist, time. The hard and faithful training of the winter met its reward. In the name of the college, we again congratulate the winner on his great success...
