In spite of a strong wind yesterday afternoon, the races of the Canoe Club took place at the time and place advertised. The course was about a quarter of a mile in length, beginning a few rods above the lower bridge, thence passing up past the boat house, around a stake a short distance below the upper bridge and finishing in front of the boat house.

The first race was started at 4 o'clock and was open to any member of the club in any canoe, double blades. W. Stickney, '91, and G. A. Batchelder, '92, were the only entries. After a close race Stickney won by half a length in 8 minutes, 1 2-5 second. The second race admitted only tandem brich canoes; Crowninshield and Fessenden, Harding and VanSchaick, were the contestants. The latter pair won through the misfortune of the former, who upset directly in front of the boat house. The third race was an open canoe contest, single blades. Herrick, '90, and Cheney, '92, entered and made a very even race, but Herrick finally getting the inside course gained about half a length which he held to the end. Time 9 minutes, 5 3-5 seconds. The fourth event was open to members of the Puritan club and was limited to open canoes, single blade. As only one man appeared, the race was a walkover. The fifth and sixth events were also walkovers. Stickney was the only contestant for the fifth, which was limited to decked canoes with double blades; while in the sixth, which was open only to tandem decked canoes, double blades, went to Cheney and Batchelder.
