...Yale University crew won from Harvard on the Thames on June 19, in what has been termed the most remarkable rowing contest ever seen on American waters. The margin of victory was so small that stop-watches could not measure it. The judges at the finish were in doubt as to the actual amount of Yale's lead, placing it between three feet and a few inches, but were agreed that Yale had won. The crowds in the observation trains and on the water were divided in opinion until the final announcement of the referee...
...crews even again. One crew would spring ahead slightly when it was pulling and the other recovering for a new catch. In this fashion, they raced to the finish. As it happened, Yale was pulling and Harvard recovering when the line was crossed. By so fine a margin was the victory determined. This race, captured by a single stroke, is likely to remain the most remarkable in the history of the two universities. It was the fastest ever rowed up-stream at New London, the time being 21 minutes, 16 seconds...
...returning to Cambridge, the three stern men, Lund, Curtis, and Parson, were shifted to the first boat. The crew came along well in the ten days proceeding the Cornell race but suffered defeat by a narrow margin...

Exeter is strong in nearly every event, especially in the dashes, quarter-mile, and weights. Andover and Worcester Academy have both sent in a large number of entries, and the fight for second place will undoubtedly be between these schools. Andover appears to be the stronger because of its victory over Worcester in a dual meet last month...
...University baseball team defeated Brown at Providence for the first time in years on Saturday afternoon when it trounced the home team by the large margin of 11 runs. The final score was 12 to 1. Cram and Crowell did the twirling for Brown but neither of these men had anything deceptive to the University batters who succeeded in piling up 16 hits. Ayres was the principal offender in this respect as he secured five hits out of as many time at bat, which included a three-bagger and four singles...
