A MEETING of the delegates of the National Rowing Association of American Colleges has been called. It is to be held at the Bay State House, Worcester, Mass., April 2, 1873. This convention is looked forward to with no little interest, inasmuch as several very important questions will be decided. The place where the regatta is to be held must be determined upon: probably Springfield, Mass., will be selected as the most advantageous situation; if so, this will give that place such a precedent that we can safely expect other races to be held there in the future.
The day of the race must be fixed. It is certainly desirable to make it as early as possible, - in the first place, that those who live at some distance from the Colleges which will probably be represented, and who do not wish to consume a great part of their vacation in this vicinity, may have an opportunity of witnessing the regatta; in the second place, that the members of the contesting crews may not lose too much of their time.
The question whether professional schools of colleges shall be allowed to row will be brought before the Convention.
It will be interesting to know what colleges will be represented. Indications, from present appearances, are, that a very large number will send delegates.
