BOSTON, June IL, 1870
The Scientific and First Junior crews OF Harvard
College had second contest on the Charles river
course this afternoon. The experience OF the
Juniors on Saturday was not satisfactory to them
and the Scientifcs through courtesy afforded them
an opportunity OF again displaying their ability and
muscle. The conditions Of this race were that the
Junior crew should put up six silver cups as prizes
to be contended for and that the Scientifcs should
reopen to the Juniors q chance for the
honors OF the Beacon Cup. The Beacon Cup
Is large and valuable silver vase, or urn, upon
which, on each successive year OF the past ten have
been inscribed the names Of the victors in the
class races. The Scientific crew OF this year
have their names added in virtue of the success of
Saturday last and, as will be seen IN the sequel
the Junior crew Of this year have also the same
privilege. AS the surface Of the cup will now be-
come filed with names, 1t is understood that this
Identical cup Will not be again rOWed for, but bear
ing its honorable roll, will be placed in proper p0
sition for safekeeping in the Harvard Memorial Hall
The men contesting IN the race to-day were the
same as those engaged on saturday. Both boats
