...HALF MILE RUNwas contested by E. F. Fessenden, '87; F. B. Dana, '88; and G. F. Davidson, '85. All the men started badly, but Fessenden got the lead and maintained it throughout, the race finishing in good form, with Dana a fair second. The time...

This order was not greatly altered at the sluice-way. When the leading crews reached Exeter Street, the sophomores had drawn up on the seniors, and from this point on, they gradually increased their lead. From Exeter Street to the finish, the race between '85 and '87 was a magnificent struggle, but '87 steadily gained until the boat crossed the line a length...
