 Mir. Wray, coach of the Harvard crew said after the race:
 "There Is nothing much to say. Of course the better crew won, and we have no complaint, My crew did all they could to win, and all I expected. The change of Lunt for Glass, caused by the illness of the latter, may have had effect, but probably would not have changed the result. As I said, the bet ter crew won"
 Captain Bacon felt the defeat of his crew, and had nothing to say.
 The veteran coach never felt better in his life than he did this evening. When asked for an interview he said:
 There is very little that I can say. Harvard has good crew, and she rowed a great race. I do not want to rob them of one bit of credit, but I think that we outrowed them. With a lighter crew we rowed from four to five strokes to the minute less until the last half mile. There was not much dif- fernce between the crews at the finish, but the difference to my mind was in the fact that we had lighter men, and yet were able to hold Harvard even at a very much lower stroke Harvard rowed a splendid race, and her fight against Yales spurt over the last half

Harvard got slight advantage at the start, but although Yale was rowing a lower stroke, the Ellis soon were on even terms with the crimson and at the first half-mile flag were leading Harvard by half boat length. Then Yale settled down into her gait of 2S strokes to the minute, which she held up to the two and a half mile flag. Harvard raised her stroke to 34 and cut down Yale's lead.
 The Ellis for a few strokes ran theirs up to 31 and at this gait held Harvard even.
