...University crew had its first time trial over the four-mile course late this afternoon, covering the distance in 22 minutes and 46 seconds. There was a slightly favoring tide; but Blagden steered a poor course, losing the force of the tide by not staying near enough to the channel.

Aside from this, the dam and basin will greatly improve the river for University rowing. It will obviate the necessity for rowing at low-tide in a very narrow channel, as at present, and will facilitate coaching by allowing the launch to keep alongside the crew even at the narrowest parts of the river...
