Forced by the wakes of the launches to call a halt at the three-quarter mile mark, the second featherweight shell was led over the finish-line by the 1933 craft with a margin of half a length. Both crews had suffered considerably from the rough water. The lighter boat, rowing in the outer lane, was restricted to a beat of 31, in which it seemed to do its best spacing...
Nothing in the exhibition is quite similar in technique to two pictures by William Little field, rough drawings enforced with lithographic pencil in strong strokes, the result being clean cut and powerful drawings, admirably suited to the subject matter. Numerous other contributions complete one of the more interesting exhibitions of the year...
...from home and passed Reel Foot. The two horses converged at the water, and then the thing that happens so often when a tired horse is taking a bad jump happened to Sea Soldier and Reel Foot at the same time: the riders checked a little, the horses made rough, desperate lunges to carry, and threw the men. All that Jockey Skinner on Soissons had to do was put the chestnut carefully over the brook and the shallow finish fence and down the midway to win. Reel Foot and Sea Soldier galloped riderless to the finish, Sea Soldier reaching...

The time was 10 minutes, 22 seconds. In spite of the rough water, which kicked up the oars and slapped over the bows of the three shells, the Sophomore stroke held his crew to a beat of 33 over the greater part of the course, after a smooth start had secured him the lead...

The Engineers showed unlooked-for power against the Navy, whose greater smoothness in rough water secured them the victory. They have furthermore the advantage of having raced once this season, while the Crimson eight has not been afforded serious competition in its occasional time-trials...
