Yale Not to Row at Chicago.

The Yale Rowing Association has declined the invitation from the World's Fair Managers asking the college to send a crew to the Fair to compete in a grand international meeting of the college crews. The invitation states that the largest colleges in this country are expected to send crews, and it is hoped to have the large universities of Europe represented.

The subject was carefully considered by Yale men and having been advised upon the matter, they have decided not to accept the invitation. The general opinion is that the contest would savor too much of professionalism.
