THERE is every prospect that the Spring Races, which are to be rowed to-morrow, will be the most interesting and successful that Harvard has ever seen. For over two months the five eight oared crews have been in training, and for the last five weeks have been on the river daily. The sight of five eight-oared crews in line is of itself worth going several miles to see; but when the race between them is as close as that of to-morrow seems likely to be, the interest ought to be very great. Of the five crews the Freshman is the only one that can be said to stand no chance for first place. The Law School crew is considered by many to stand the best chance, although the Juniors have great confidence in their men. Altogether, the race is pretty sure to be a close one. A good deal of interest is also felt in the Senior Scullers' race between Messrs. Goddard and Peabody. These two gentlemen are undoubtedly the best single scullers in the University, and a contest between them for the championship will be sure to prove very interesting. They have agreed to start promptly at ten o'clock, and so everybody who wishes to see the race will have to be present at that hour. We present to our subscribers with this number a programme of the races and a list of the men on each crew. All who wish to secure good places at the Union Boat-house should be present at an early hour, as the accommodations are decidedly limited, and the crowd is likely to be very great.
