...crews got a drifting start; Claverly and Mount Auburn Street having an advantage of about one-half a length. Beck-Hampden-Fairfax rowed in good form and soon overtook both the Claverly and Mount Auburn Street crews, which were rowing a slower and more powerful stroke. About half-way the order was as follows: 1, Beck-Hampden-Fairfax; 2, Mount Auburn Street; 3, Claverly; 4, Thayer; 5, Randolph...
...yards in 22 3-5 seconds from scratch, and when he reached the bend in the Stadium was in the lead, but was unable to keep up his pace to the finish. DeSelding used good judgment and stayed in the rear until passing the bend, when he spurted and overtook all the others. H. Watson '10 was not in good condition and dropped out early in the race...

When the judge's pistol, signalling the bump, was fired, the Perkins crew inexcusably disregarded the signal and continued rowing. Weld soon overtook them and thinking they had made a bump, stopped. Grays was thus deprived of the possibility of a bump, but finished in good form with Russell a length behind. The Holyoke (second) crew finished raggedly several lengths in the rear. Fairfax, after bumping the Perkins crew, ran into the bank...
