THE University Crew left for Springfield yesterday on the eleven-o'clock train, their boats having been sent on three hours before. All were in good condition, and looked and acted as if the severe training of the past year had not brought them down too "fine." The quarters of the crew are about half-way down the course, and numerous opportunities will be offered of seeing Yale pull over the four miles. Before the 30th, Fearon's and Blakey's boats will be tried over the course, and the better boat selected. The old eight has been made much lighter, and stiffness and speed will be the points for which the boat for the race will be chosen. Mr. Loring will be at both Springfield and Saratoga. The trial single-scull race, which was to have occurred yesterday, has been postponed until to-morrow morning, on account of the roughness of the water.
