'The great four-oared boat-race for the championship of the world, contested by two British crews (both from the Tyne), one from the United States, and three from the Canadian or British American Provinces, took place in the harbour...The course rowed was from the Halifax Yacht Club-House to M'Nab's Island, a distance of six miles...The two English crews stripped bare, as is their custom...The sketch represents the finish of the champion sculler's race, won by Sadler, a length and a half in advance of Brown, the Nova Scotian; Kelley and Bagnall were far behind'.
