THERE has been a good deal of noise in the Yard during the last few evenings, - more than was necessary perhaps, and certainly more than was agreeable.

...crew will row the American crew. The organ of the Universities says, if the Columbia College crew who are to row at Henley are the champion four of the Universities of America, there will probably be another international race on the Thames. Both Oxford and Cambridge have agreed to select fours from the eight-oared crews of the annual race, and challenge the American College crew independent of the race at Henley...
