Fall Class Races.

It has been decided that it is for the best interests of rowing that the scratch races which have formerly been rowed sometime during the fall term should be given up this fall and that there should be substituted for these races a race, in barges as before, between five crews representing the four classes and the Law School.

This race will take place next Friday afternoon immediately after four o'clock, on a course about three-quarters of a mile long, extending from the new Harvard bridge to the Union Boat House.

Suitable prizes will be given to the members of the winning crew. The crews have been hard at work every afternoon for more than two weeks in anticipation of this race. It will not, therefore, be the careless exhibition of rowing which has unsually taken place in the fall, but, on the contrary, it will be a well contested race and it is hoped that the whole college, by their presence next Friday to witness the race, will encourage the rowing men in their determination to increase the evidently growing interest in boating. The fact that it is to be a close race ought to arouse great enthusiasm.
