There was no break visible in the time over the whole four miles, except for a few strokes now and then, and the shell was carried along on a fairly even keel. The watermanship was good.

Perkins gets a great start, and in the big hurdles leads Cady to the finish. Cady, Perkins and Hatch, the last another new comer in the event, are clearing the hurdles close to 16s. flat in the 120 yards...
