...race which proved very exciting, as Kohn of Cornell defeated our last man, Fullerton, by only a fraction of a second. In the 200-yard race Fullerton won easily, but there was a close fight for second place between Starbuck and Kohn, which the former won after a beautiful spurt at the finish. In the 50-yard event Wentworth won a well-earned race from Bowers of Cornell...

The energy of this short campaign, which will end tomorrow night, is sure proof of the active interest which has been demanded of under graduates.

Another start was tried above the bridge, but here the crew did not seem to go as well as before. The boat did not space quite as far between strokes, the fault seeming to be in the catch...
