This afternoon's racing should prove interesting, as upon it will depend largely the selection of the four crews to row in the straightaway race in the basin tomorrow. This race will take place at 4 o'clock, and will be rowed upstream over the one and seven-eighths mile course, starting at the Union boat-house and finishing at the Longwood bridge.
