The University crews took a rather hard row, yesterday afternoon, to Harvard bridge and back in unchanged orders. Both eights rowed in short stretches to the Longwood bridge, under the coaching of Mr. Higginson. Here the crews were started for a mile stretch down-stream. At first the second crew drew ahead until they led the first crew by half a length, but when both eights put the stroke up slightly, the first gained again, finishing even with the second.

In the mile stretch back to Longwood bridge the second crew quickly gained three-quarters of a length but in the last eighth of a mile the first put up the stroke and finished half a length ahead. The second crew was then sent ahead to the boat house and the first was coached on the way up stream by G.S. Mumford '87. E.C. Storrow '89, as well as Mr. Higginson.

On reaching the boat house the crews exchanged shells in order that the relative speed of the two boats might be tested. In the two half-mile stretches that followed, each crew won a brush, leading in each instance by about half a length.

The first crew showed a slight improvement on the finish of the stroke. The boat did not hang quite as much as on Saturday and seemed to travel somewhat faster.
