...were III., IV., I., II., and at the lower end of the boat house, III., IV., II., I. When abreast of the boat house it was seen that III. was gaining at every stroke. At the finish the positions stood III., IV., I., II., III. winning by a half-length over IV. IV. finished, however, only a quarter-length ahead of I., and I. coming in a full length ahead of II. No time was taken. The rowing of the crews as a rule was very excellent, considering the total lack of experience, and it would seem from the indications...

The surplus land will be marked out for tennis, as well as what is now the ball-field on Jarvis. It is needless to comment on the advantages of such...
...boat house and the finish, and the two crews rowed abreast until, through poor steering, they locked oars. No. IV. got disentangled first and crossed the line even with No. II., which had overtaken them on account of the foul. No. III. came in about an eighth of a length behind...
