...morning under very fair conditions, with a favoring wind and tide, but the tide was went for the first two miles. As the work came just at noon, the men were somewhat oppressed by the heat since they rowed with the wind. Nevertheless, they rowed about 30 to 32 strokes to the minute until the last half-mile, when Farley raised the stroke to about 36, and in the last 100 yards going at about 40. The work is considered to be decidedly satisfactory. The men have shown that they have speed, for any crew that can cover the Thames...
...took Hadden's place in the four-oar. A second change was made in the Freshman eight this afternoon when Vogel was agin tried out at 4 in Buxton's place. He seemed to row smoother and not to settle in the boat at the end of his stroke as Buxton does, and is likely to keep the position. The Freshmen also went out for a short row in the morning, going about two miles...
...about three miles, accompanied by Coach Wray in a single scull. In the afternoon, the work showed a decided improvement.

Buxton is back again at 4, as his threatened attack of mumps did not develop. Wyman was out again in a pair-oar, and in a scrub four in the afternoon, with A. G. Gill '06, J. F. Perkins...

...mile mark. The crews then turned around and started back with the Freshmen slightly in the lead. The crews remained in about the same relative position for some distance, when the Freshmen started to draw ahead and gained a quarter of a boat length. Farley then raised his stroke and the crews raced for a quarter of a mile. The University eight spaced well and finished a half a length in the lead. The University four-oar rowed over two miles of the course against the tide, this afternoon, in slow time, and the Freshman four-oar, coxswained by Assistant...
