A New Annual Boat Race.

Representatives of Columbia, Cornell, and the University of Pennsylvania have signed an agreement to row an eight-oared three-mile race in June at New London. This will be Cornell's first attempt at training an eight-oared crew although her four has frequently met the University of Pennsylvania in the annual contest for the Childs Cup. Pennsylvania has rowed at New London before, with representatives of Yale. The suggestion of an annual three-cornered race came from Columbia, on learning of Cornell's intention to put an eight-oared crew on the water; and at Columbia's invitation E. Klapp, Captain of Columbia's 'varsity crew, C. G. Psotta, of Cornell, and T. G. Hunter of Pennsylvania met at Philadelphia and signed the articles for the race.
