...annual Harvard-Yale rowing regatta will be held on the Thames, near New London, Conn., on Thursday, June 27. The Freshman eights will start under the New London railroad bridge at 10 o'clock in the morning and will row upstream for two miles, finishing at the Navy Yard. Directly after the finish of the Freshman race, the University four-oared crews will start at the Navy Yard to race upstream. They will finish near the west shore of the Thames, opposite "Red Top."
