Class rowing for the spring will begin this afternoon at 3.30 o'clock, when all candidates for the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore crews will be expected to report, prepared to row. University managers will be at each boathouse to receive the names of candidates. Seniors are to report at the Newell, and Juniors and Sophomores at the Weld Boat Club. All men not engaged in other athletic interests are urged to report. Crews will be made up immediately, and will continue--practicing until Thursday, May 12, when the final class races will be held. Coach Stephenson will have charge of the Freshman and Senior crews, and Coach Brown will coach the Sophomores and Juniors.

New Shell for University Crew.

The new shell for the University crew, presented by Mrs. Robert Bacon, which was made by George Sims & Son, of Putney, England, arrived in Boston yesterday morning on the steamship "Cambrian." From Boston it will be taken to the Newell boathouse and during the spring practice will be given a thorough test by the University crew. The new shell is 61 feet long and is of the American type, all the seats being placed directly over the keel instead of being alternately to port and starboard as in all English boats.
