...drifting of the Cornell stake-boat. When the crews finally got away, Cornell gained a lead of half a length, both crews rowing 40 strokes to the minute. Soon after the start the stroke of both eights was lowered to 36, with Cornell leading and at the half-mile mark Cornell was still half a length ahead. In the next half-mile Cornell kept gaining slightly, and as the crews passed by the mile mark, Cornell was one length ahead. For the next three-quarters of a mile the race was very exciting and close, neither crew being able...
...race the blade work of the Harvard crew became ragged, and the men were very slow in getting their oars into the water at the catch.

The latter soon went ahead, however, and at the quarter-mile mark was leading by a few feet. Both crews had by this time settled down to a stroke of about 36, and were rowing well.

Campbell and Nelson are both practically sure of beating the existing record of 12 feet and the new mark will probably be considerably higher. Barr of Harvard and Cook of Cornell have both cleared 12 feet and may be able to divide the points with the Yale vaulters...
