The Freshman and Middlesex School four-oared crews rowed two races over a three-quarter mile course on the Charles River above the Stillman Infirmary yesterday afternoon. In the first race the Middlesex crew won from the Freshmen by one and a half lengths. The Middle sex crew got a lead at the start and held this advantage throughout; they rowed in almost perfect form and used fully as much power as the Freshmen though a considerably lighter crew. In the second race the Freshman second won by a length from the Middlesex second four, who were one half length ahead of the Freshman third. Middlesex jumped into the lead at the start, but the Freshmen pulled up when Talbot, No. 3 in the Middlesex boat, jumped his slide. The Freshmen then slowly forged ahead and finished a short length in the lead.
The orders:
Middlesex--Stroke, F. Trumbull; 3. Moffat; 2, Lingard; bow, W. Trumbull; cox., Brownlee.
Freshmen--Stroke, Howell; 3, Holt; 2, Amory; bow, Smith; cox., Kempton.
