...sorry to hear that Harvard's challenge to Yale to row a race for the single-scull championship has been declined. The reason alleged was, "that it would establish a bad precedent, and tend to lessen the interest in the eight-oared race." This certainly seems rather a foolish idea, for one would think that if a Freshman race and a single-scull race could be arranged between the two colleges, to come off at the same time with the "Varsity," it would rather increase than diminish the interest. But as the H. U. B. C. offered...
...spectators and contestants, but they can do very little unless the men themselves will take the slight trouble of registering, at least the day before. If this is done, we may at last see some races which are not tiresome. There are three new features this year; a single-scull race for men who have not rowed for the college championship; a handicap of six seconds or less in the Senior scullers' race; and a race for Freshmen in sixes. It is hoped that men will enter in both the scullers' races, and particularly in the Junior race...
Harlem Regatta. - At this regatta, on October 19, over a one-mile course, B. T. Keator of Yale won his trial-heat in 7 min. 39 1/2 sec. (Junior single sculls), but was beaten in the final in 7 min. 40 1/4 sec., by Lyon of the Dauntless Club. H. Livingston of Yale was beaten in his trial-heat for the Senior single sculls by Mills, N. Y. A. C., in 8 min. 7 1/2 sec. The brothers Livingston won the double-scull race from three other boats...
...undoubtedly rather a failure, although the crew that had been the favorite before the race won in each race; the failure consisting in the fact that not one of the crews which competed is now qualified to row as an amateur in England; indeed, Lee, the single-scull winner, has been under suspicion for some time in this country. The "Sewing-Machines," as they are called, proved themselves miracles of gameness, endurance, and speed as their record of 7.17 1/2 in the short race and 18.44 1/2 in the three-mile race shows. The times for all the test-races...
...answer to this communication has been received from New Haven, and the Yale Navy apparently have taken no action in the matter; but it is certainly a desirable thing to have a single-scull race for the championship of the two colleges, and there could be no better time for it than the week of the University race at New London. If any decision in this matter is to be reached this summer it ought to be made at once, to enable the contestants to make the necessary preparations. As Mr. Livingston has taken the first step, it is only...
