The announcement that the Yacht Club is to challenge the Yale Yacht Club to an intercollegiate regatta next June practically means that the event will be held, there being at present a great deal of interest in this sport at Yale. The proposition to hold the regatta at Newport instead of at New London as heretofore is one which will make the conditions more acceptable to Harvard than they otherwise would be, and practically just as much so to Yale; but as the University Boat Race will not be held at New London this year and as there are comparatively few boats on Long Island Sound owned by Harvard men, the Sound is not the most convenient place for the races from a Harvard point of view. It is evident therefore that, to win the cup which has been contested for in former years, those who own boats in the classes which are to race must make their arrangements to do all in their power to strengthen Harvard's representation in the affair.
