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 will be offered, in the college regatta, for six-oared boats rowed by class crews, for it is believed that such a race would have many advantages over one confined exclusively to Freshmen...
