...canoe race that followed was the most amusing feature of the day, and drew forth from the spectators frequent shouts of good-natured derision. The entries were: Jacobs and Cutler against P. Tuckerman and Ellis, the latter being allowed 5 seconds. Messrs. Tuckermann and Ellis showed some slight want of practice, especially in steering their canoe; but they worked hard, and managed to come in 10 seconds behind their opponents, thus losing the race by 5 seconds...

...slight tendency to use the arms too soon in the stroke was noticed. The shoulders were not kept down and "square" as a rule. The men got better together than on the two previous evenings. Some of the men appeared unskilful in handling the "levers," and from the frequent "break downs" that happen it is evident that the greatest care should be exercised in working the machines. Any carelessness or harsh usage may cause a serious inconvenience...
