The start was nearly even, Holyoke being an instant behind the others in taking the water. The crews kept well together to the turning-stake, Weld showing a little ahead on the first half-mile, with Holyoke a little in advance of Matthews. When near the stake, Holyoke and Matthews, who were to turn the same buoy, spurted; Holyoke took Matthews' water and turned first, but with Matthews' bow only a few inches from their rudder. Matthews, however, made a very bad turn, and lost about three lengths. Weld had the outside stake to themselves, but also made a bad turn, and did not take the water on the return till after Matthews. Holyoke kept the lead, and won in 14 m. 52 1/2 sec.; Matthews made up a good deal of what they had lost on the turn, and came in about a length of clear water behind Holyoke, in 15 m. 1 sec.; while Weld merely held their own on Holyoke, and made it in 15 m. 12 sec.

The prizes in both races were a pewter ale mug to each man of the winning crew. For the single-scull-race there was but one entry, Mr. Griswold of '80, and the judges awarded him a cup without obliging him to row over the course. It is a pity so few of our single-scullers are willing to enter a race. The water was very good for this season of the year, and not so rough as to hinder the club barges. Mr. R. C. Watson, '69, acted as starter; Mr. W. F. Weld, '76, as referee; Mr. H. G. Danforth, '77, and Mr. H. J. Harwood, '77, judges at the lower stake, and Mr. C. L. Perkins, '79, at the upper stake.
