...Second Weld crew's getting the place next to the Beacon street wall, with the Second Newell, First Weld, and First Newell in the order named. This drawing is a fortunate one, since it places the corresponding crews of the two clubs on equal footings as regards tide and wind conditions. The officials for the race have not yet been chosen...

The 1903 team was able to make few gains by rushing...
