CAPTAIN HAMMOND, of the Freshman Crew, Captain Eldredge, of Columbia, and Captain Rossiter, of the Columbia Freshman Crew, met at New London, Wednesday, and agreed to row a two-mile straightaway race on the Thames, at noon, Wednesday, July...
...nine men in training for the same four-oared race; that the proposed prize for class sixes will not be offered before next year; that Newark will probably be chosen as the scene of the regatta; that the college races will probably be a mile and a half straightaway, like all the other races of the N.

He ridicules the idea of shells turning in a scratch race; and no one can ridicule the idea more than we do, as we expressly said that the races should be straightaway. Our reference was particularly to the club races, and, as will be seen by this week's paper, these races are neither an impossible nor an improbable thing. There is no reason why eight-oared shells should not be used, if the men are willing to train. They are used...
