At half-past twelve the Wm.Sprague, with the referee, press representatives, and 'varsity crew and nine on board left the bridge and steamed up to the railroad bridge at Brookline, followed by the Elsie, flying the yellow and black pennant of the sophomores, the Mattie Sargent, aboard which the freshmen were assembled under their red and white colors, and the Curlew, upon which was a large party of undergraduates and ladies.

Last year, men like Hendee and Frazier were invited, and a splended exhibition of riding was given at the spring races, but this year the contestants must be college men.
