12m. 38s., with Columbia twelve seconds later, which is equivalent to about four lengths. The New York boys were crawling up a little, but though their supporters encouraged them most enthusiastically, it was of no avail. Harvard had too much reserve power. As the crews neared the three-mile flag, one began to realize that very fast time was being made, and many conjectures were expressed as to whether or not the record would be broken. Harvard was still pulling her 33 strokes a minute, while Columbia, who had reduced her competitors' lead to three lengths, was desperately struggling to crawl up still further. But it was of no avail, and Harvard swept down to the finish amid cheers and yells, thundering of guns, and blowing of horns, while Columbia pluckily followed in her wake. As the boats neared the line, Storrow took her up a little and Harvard passed the four-mile flag in 20m 15s., beating the record by seventeen seconds.
