Yesterday the Cornell crew went over the regular 1 and 7-8 miles course both in the morning and afternoon. In the morning the work was somewhat harder than it was in the afternoon, as a 33 stroke was rowed in a spurt at the finish. In the afternoon 26 strokes to the minute were maintained as a steady pace. The men appeared to be in good physical condition, but did not row hard. They were well together and the boat spaced from eight to ten feet at times...
...mile and 550 yards up stream from the Union Boat Club. The second gained a length at the start and gradually increased its lead until the finish. The University second crew maintained a fast stroke throughout the race reaching as high as 35, to the minute in the final spurt. Swaim, who was laid off last week, was again in the boat at 6, and Tilton and Mason of the Sophomore crew rowed 3 and 2 respectively as on Saturday...

...were in excellent condition, when they reached the boathouse. They rowed fairly well, but at times the boat rolled somewhat. Filley put the stroke up to 32 for the last few hundred yards of the row down stream and the men followed him better than they have on a spurt at any time this spring...

The other men in the boat followed him well until the spurt when the blade work became ragged and several members of the crew rushed their slides. As a whole the crew rowed in good form. Arnold coxswained in Blagden's place...
