The first Newell crew, which was second at the finish, was a length and three-quarters ahead of the second Weld, which in turn led the second Newell by a quarter of a length of open water. The start was not made until one o'clock owing to the difficulty of securing a coxswain...
...first Weld and the second Newell got the best of the other two crews on the start, but the first Newell rapidly drew up to second place which it kept throughout the race.

Although Morris is a very good oar, any change at so late a date tends to make the crew...
