Harvard-Yale-Columbia Freshman Race.

The challenge sent by the freshman crew to the Yale and Columbia freshman crews, for a two mile race to be rowed at New London on one of the three days preceding the Yale-Harvard University race, has been accepted by both colleges.

The Cornell freshmen requested Capt. Ives that Yale use her influence to have Cornell admitted to the race. The fact, however, that the course over which the race will be rowed is unfair for four boats, and scarcely fair for three on account of the currents, will prevent Cornell from taking part in the race.
