THE Executive Committee of the H. U. B. C., at its meeting this week, decided to make an important change in the Club Races this fall. The first crews will be the four-oars. That is, the four best men in each club will pull against each other, and then the six next best men will pull as second crews. We should say rather that the crews will be made up of the best men in the clubs who will consent to abandon easy-chairs and cigarettes for a few hours; for it is vain to hope that the best oars can be prevailed upon to exert themselves. The change, however, seems to us for the best, in the present state of affairs. We take it for granted that it is but a temporary measure, because a healthier state of boating affairs would be shown rather by a change from sixes to eights than from sixes to fours, and we are not ready yet to give up in despair the hope of seeing our boating affairs assume a more prosperous aspect.
