This was a splendid race, the contestants being practically level until near the post, when Harvard spurted. Gollan was unahle to strike fast enough, hut sculled powerfully and consistently, with a plucky spurt at the finish. The Daily Telegraph says Stuart manned his victory by using his lead to "wash" Gollan, similar to McVilly's tactics in 1913.
