Mr. Young who catered for the crew last year will do the catering till the race is over. About 9.30 the Yale crew came up the river and saluted when they were opposite the quarters.

"Personal Recollections of Whittier" has some interest although so many articles on the same subject have lately been printed that...
Owing to the rough weather yesterday in the basin of the Charles River, the class races were postponed until 4 o'clock this afternoon. There are a few more tickets for the referee's tug on sale at Leavitt and Peirce's and may be had on the payment of $200 each. The tug will leave the Cambridge street bridge at 2.45 promptly...
