...prove a formidable rival; and the interest in the race will be greater than was felt last year, as so much more depends upon the result. We do not need to remind the Crew how much the University relies upon their success.

The races are to be rowed either at Newark or Saratoga, during the first week of July, and on the day preceding the regular annual regatta of the association, which regatta the college crews are also invited to enter, in case they wish to test their prowess against that of non-collegiate amateurs. It is probable, also, that a fourth prize...
