lege Union Regatta have been completed in an
ample and satisfactory manner, the boats of
Brown, Yale and Harvard, with their crews,
are upon the ground, and, with the favor OF

Each college will choose one judge, and the
judges, referee. The boats will start from
the line drawn across the lake near the bridge,
at the appointed signal, and row towards the
north end of the lake, one and half miles,
tnrn the stakeboat and return to the starting
point. To prevent all possibility of collision,
all owners of boats upon the lake are particu
larly requested to keep them outside of the
track of the race-boats during the trial. Sail
boats are requested to keep their sails furled.
The Brown boat does not enter the regatta
with very high anticipation of winning. The
effort which was made two years ago to estab
fish boating at Brown has not met with the
success which it deserved. The club which
was then formed still remains the only club il
college, and the boat which was then built, ant
which has since received its share of hare
usage, is the boat which now represents the in
stitution. 1t was not intended by its builde
for a race boat, and was designated as its higl
model shows, for rougher waters thanit is like
ly to meet on Lake Quinsigamond.
In the most pleasant and accessible localities
seats have been provided, and other arrange
ments have been made, in anticipation of tn
desire of the multitude who will, undoubtedly
