As for the race with Columbia, we are heartily in favor of its discontinuance. There is little use in using up our crew for its contest with Yale, and that is about all the good that the Columbia race does. If the affair was nothing but a practice pull, it would be a good thing, but it has ceased to be that. It has become a hard, stubborn fight and presupposing that the Yale race is no walk-over, no eight men can pull the four miles the second time in one week, with a fair prospect for success. The boat club would do well to take advice from '88 and so increase still more the chances of victory over our friends from New Haven.
