Here the two crews drew together and Whitney bent his outrigger by strilking the Worcester coxswain in the back. Talbot broke his oar and thole pin. The boats then separated, Worcester gradually increasing its lead.
The race was awarded to Worcester although the referee's launch was so far behind that it was impossible to judge which boat had made the foul.
