Today, as is well known, the class races take place on the Charles River course. For months the four crews have been faithfully training for this event, and for months the college has watched with increasing interest the improvements which have taken place in the different crews. It is probably safe to say that seldom, in any class race, have the four crews been in better condition than they are at present. This is especially true of the three upper classes, who, from their longer experience in rowing, have a decided advantage over the freshman crew, which has, moreover, been weakened recently by the loss of a very promising oar. According to the best boating authorities, the race between the three upper lasses will be the most interesting and exciting which has been rowed for years over this course, as each crew seems determined to win.
Several of the classes have procured tugs in which to follow and encourage their respective crews. This custom was started last year by '85, and offers such a good opportunity for a large number of men to witness the race that it bids fair to become a regular feature of the class races.
