RESULTS OF GRADED RACES

Under very favorable weather conditions the first Weld graded crew won the first section race in the fall regatta yesterday afternoon, and the third Newell won in the second section, the former defeating the first Newell crew by two and a half lengths, and the latter winning easily from the third Weld by about five lengths. The time of the first Weld was 10 minutes and 13 seconds, and that of the third Newell 10 minutes and 31 seconds. The winners of both races took the lead from the start and maintained it throughout the race.

Both races were rowed upstream from the Union Boat Club to Longwood Bridge. In the first race, between the first and second crews of each club, the first Newell got the best start, but the first Weld, rowing a stroke of 34, soon took the lead and at Harvard Bridge was a length and a half ahead of the first Newell, which was rowing a 32 stroke. At this point the second Newell was a length behind the first Newell and half a length ahead of the second Weld. At the finish the first Weld led the first Newell by two and a half lengths. About twenty-five strokes from the finish number 3 of the second Newell broke his outrigger and the crew finished last, about a half length behind the second Weld.

In the second race the third Newell got away first, settled down to a steady 32 stroke, and at Harvard Bridge was three and a half lengths ahead of the fifth Newell. The third Weld led the fourth Newell by about two lengths. The third Newell gradually increased its lead, and just before the finish took a spurt, crossing the line five lengths ahead of the third Weld, which in turn was four lengths in the lead of the fourth Newell.
