...watches of both judges at the finist of the 220 yards race yesterday were under 22 sec. But as one was 21 4-5 and the other 21 9-10, the time had to be called 22 sec. because no fraction less than 1-8 is used...
...class races have come and gone. Naturally enough three quarters of the undergraduates are to-day in the depths of despondency, while the other fraction of the college is correspondingly elated. Yet, barring the unfortunate occurence which deprived eighty-six of one of its most powerful oars, and leaving out of account the accident which partially disabled the eighty-eight boat, it must be admitted that the race between the two winning crews was won on its merits.

The former dogged Root around the track until within a few rods of the finish, when he ran ahead and won easily in the time of 2 min., 11 and a fraction seconds. The last race runwas a 220 yards, between Hardy and Rogers of the freshman class. Hardy won after a hot race during the first part of the way. The rest of the races which were not walkovers, will be decided on Saturday, at the university meeting...
