Captain Theodore C. Dodge also appears in the picture, together with the trophy won in the race and the club's mascot, "Mike." The captain was mainly instrumental in bringing victory to the club, together with F. H. Watters and W. D. Sheldon, for it was these three men who selected and placed the team and kept after the men and with them until the race was over.
