The All-Star crew won a close and exciting race in the finals for dormitory crews in the Basin yesterday, thereby gaining title to the Filley Cup for the current year. The Little's crew finished second, barely half a length behind the winner, and leading Randolph, the third to come in, by an equally small margin. The Yard crew finished fourth about two lengths in the rear, and the Eight Wonders last. A strong wind behind the crews roughened the, water somewhat.
The crews started just below the Cottage Farm bridge at 4.15 o'clock in the following order, from the Boston bank: Eight Wonders, Yards, All-Stars, Randolph, and Little's. From the start, it was evident that the race was to be fought out among the Randolph, All-Stars, and Little's crews. Little's caught the water first and maintained a slight lead until the middle of the course, when the Randolph and the All-Stars forged ahead in turn. At the finish, the All-Stars sprinted to the lead in fine form and Little's passed Randolph. The interest of the race centered in these three crews, the Yard and Randolph boats being separated by three lengths. The crews rowed in the following orders:
All-Stars.--Stroke, Henry; 7, Walters; 6, Graham; 5, Adsit; 4, Kingsbury; 3; Wilmerding; 2, Berry; bow, Bacon; cox., Emmons.
Little's.--Stroke, Maxwell; 7, Schroeder; 6, Hall; 5, Bartlett; 4, Reed; 3, Southard; 2, Townsend; bow, Newton; cox., Kreger.
Randolph.--Stroke, Grace; 7, Hilliard; 6, Whitmarsh; 5, Thorndike; 4, Streeter; 3, Baylies; 2, Winslow; bow, Thayer; cox., Cole.
Yard.--Stroke, Day; 7, Leviseur; 6, Lynn; 5, Dewey; 4, Brown; 3, Taggart; 2, Storrow; bow, Hutchins; cox., Phillips.
Eight Wonders.--Stroke, Lanman; 7, Graham; 6, Callanan; 5, Hooper; 4, Salomon; 3, Olmsted; 2, Bell; bow, G. H. Williams; cox., J. D. Williams.
