International Boat Race.

A refusal on the part of the winner of the Oxford-Cambridge boat race to row in this country the winner of the Yale-Harvard race, is the only obstacle to an international eight-oared boat race this year. A meeting of representatives from Yale and from Harvard met last Saturday at Springfield. There were present for Yale, George A. Adee, A. L. Cowles, and Derby Rogers; and for Harvard, J. J. Storrow, C. F. Adams, 2d, and T. N. Perkins. After discussing the situation they drew up two letters which were signed and sent, one to Oxford and the other to Cambridge. The letters will not be published until they are received by those to whom they are addressed, but the proposal made is substantially that the winner of the Oxford-Cambridge race row the winner of the Yale-Harvard race in America, probably at New London, about two weeks after the Yale-Harvard race. It is well known that every endeavor will be made to have the international race at Chicago, but the many advantages that New London possesses over any other place in the country, make it probable that the race will be rowed there.
