In reply to the challenge of the Harvard Yacht Club for a race to be held next June at Newport, the Yale Yacht Club has sent an acceptance, with the condition that the race be held at New London. In view of the circumstances it is certainly hard to see the justice of Yale's position.

In former years the yacht races between the two universities have been sailed at New London, chiefly on account of the boat races, which have also been held there; and, in spite of this attraction, it has obviously been a concession on the part of the Harvard Yacht Club to go around Cape Cod, because most of its fleet is about Boston. This year, as there is to be no boat race at New London, it would seem that the proposition to sail at Newport should be agreed to by Yale, for Newport is for several reasons more convenient to Harvard than New London, and cannot be much out of the way for the Yale men, It is to be hoped that the management of the Yale Yacht Club will look at the matter from this standpoint and agree to accommodate Harvard without hurting their own prospects.

The order of the 'Varsity boat remained unaltered yesterday afternoon and the College crew was only changed by the addition of Moulton, who rowed 4, instead of a Freshman substitutes, as heretofore. The 'Varsity tried several short stretches and starts with the College crew, and won each time.
