...races set for Wednesday, July 15, came off promptly. The Freshman race was remarkable for the brilliant spurt of the Princeton men at the finish, which gave them the race over Yale.

The Sophomore crew deserves especial mention, not only as the winning crew, but on account of the regularity with which their stroke was set. And it only demonstrated the superiority of the steady swing in a long race. The steadiness with which the stroke kept at his work was much to be praised, and we are glad to see that this idea of the proper stroke is gaining ground here. The waist men of this crew...
