...First and Second 'Varsity eights rowed an exciting two-mile race yesterday noon from the Union Boat House to the Longwood bridge. The First crew got off first and at the Harvard Bridge was about a half a length ahead; the second then pulled up and passed the First boat by a short distance. From that point to near the finish it was anyone's race, both crews spurting hard; the First 'Varsity, however, drew slightly ahead and won out by less than five feet...

The first boat, by a good spurt toward the finish, won by about three-quarters of a length.

The four crews caught the water well together, '99 taking the lead, and holding it for about three-quarters of a mile. At the bridge the race seemed to be between them...
