This race was won by Vesper in a garrison finish after being led by University Barge for practically the whole course.\u00a0 At the head of the Island the University crew was leading by a length and it looked like a sure victory.\u00a0 Suddenly the University crew commenced to swerve out of its course and steer over to the east bank of the river.\u00a0 This lost them a lot of their lead and the Vesper crew slugged harder than ever and flashed over the line a winner by only one and one-fifth seconds.\u00a0 Hoffman, the stroke of the University crew, collapsed as soon as the finish line was reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Proved a bruising race from start to finish and was decided only in the last few strokes.\u00a0 Vesper snatched victory from Malta, who had a good lead at the head of the stand.\u00a0 Just after the start of the race the Vesper pair went out of their course and the Referee threatened to disqualify them if they did not go where they belonged.\u00a0 This caused the Vesper pair to steer from the first arch of the Trolley Bridge, where they were heading for, through the second arch and in so doing they lost o lot of water.\u00a0 From the Trolley Bridge Vesper rowed a stern chase and in the last twenty strokes put on such a spurt that they managed to nose out the Malta crew by a few feet.\u00a0 The Undine crew was never a strong contender for first honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Quaker City had the only fresh crew, the others having raced earlier in the day.\u00a0 The five crews got off to a good start and down the course they came, Vesper and Quaker City well together, Malta and Undine close bunched in back about half a length and Crescent in the rear.\u00a0 The race soon resolved into a struggle between Vesper and Quaker City for first honors.\u00a0 Ten after ten was called for and both crews responded but the Quaker City crew always managed to keep one stroke ahead and they finished only a few feet to the good.\u00a0 Nearing the finish Crescent crept up and nosed Undine out of fourth place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This race proved an easy win for Malta who rowed in splendid form and although Pennsylvania Barge spurted a number of times, they were never able to cut down the lead of the flying Malta shell which finished leading by three lengths, with Vesper one length behind Pennsylvania Barge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Crescent men on Peters Island were almost besides themselves with joy, as Crescent and Malta approached on almost even terms.\u00a0 Crescent, however, reckoned without the Malta spirit, which never says die.\u00a0 Coxswain Hookey called for a spurt and Stroke Lippincott hit it up, and the crew, rowing like a machine, backed him to a man.\u00a0 Nearer and nearer the finish line was approached and slowly but surely the Malta crew closed up, the sharp prow of the Malta shell passing the Crescent men one after the other and over the line the two crews went., Malta winning by about four feet.\u00a0 Undine came in third, about a half length in the rear of Crescent and Vesper the same length astern of Undine.<\/p>\n
