...Japanese lanterns, while through the boxes, which were partitioned off by screens and palms, soft red or green lights were suffused. The boxes were made attractive with a profusion of sofas, chairs, pillows, and rugs, with potted plants and flowers in every corner. The Game and Writing Rooms were strung with lines of national and yachting flags...
...Raynolds, with Crosby close behind him, was next with an interval of 20 yards. By a wonderful spurt, Crosby passed Raynolds and Spitzer with 300 yards to go, but he was unable to pass Vilas, who finished strong. These first four men were closely bunched, but the others were strung out for fully half a mile. The order at the finish was as follows: M. B. Vilas '08, of Yale, 1; M. S. Crosby '08, 2; R. A. Spitzer '09, of Yale, 3; R. Raynolds '10, of Yale, 4; M. H. Whitney '09, 5; C. F. Luther '08, of Yale...

"Sammie Bent's Stripes," by Frank Simonds...
...first and second Weld crews got away first leaving the other boats closely bunched, but the first Newell, which made the poorest start, soon pulled up to second place, passing the second Weld. At the bridge the crews were strung out with each of the eights except the first just a length behind the next in front. The order at the bridge was first Weld, first Newell, second Weld, third Weld, third Newell, fourth Weld, and this order remained unchanged until the finish. Opposite Dartmouth street, however, the three leading crews spurted and drew away from the rest...
