...Sufficient tents, furnished and holding four men each, have been engaged for the Harvard delegation, so that there may be a united Harvard camp. The expenses, including a program fee of five dollars, amount to about $20 for the full time; for a shorter time they will be correspondingly less. For those men who do not remain full time, the program fee is 60 cents a day. Special trains will leave Boston on June 26, and a special train will run from New London on June 25, directly after the crew races. The hours for starting will be announced later...

Then the reserve strength and better training of the Weld crew began to tell and in a good finish it beat out the High School crew whose spurt was unavailing...
