...Bridge, a distance of almost three miles. The second crew was given a start of 20 seconds and although the first steadily shortened the distance between the two boats it was unable to get the lead. Owing to the crooked course and the rough water, caused by a strong ebb tide and a wind blowing up-stream, the time was slow. The orders of the crews were somewhat different from those of the early part of the week. Lawson replaced Hartwell at 7 in the first boat, and Haycock, who had been rowing at 7 in the, second, was moved...

...open to a single objection that was seriously urged against the plan of 1894. In that year it was argued before the Earbor and Land commission, by eminent counsel who were retained to prevent the erection of new houses back of Beacon street, that any stopping of the ebb of the tide from the Charles River Basin twice daily would injure certain channels of the harbor, but in opposition to this contention several of the most eminent engineers of the state have expressed the opinion that the tidal scour theory has no application to the conditions which exist in those...
