THE YALE-HARvARD BOAT RACE NOT TO TAKE
| PLACE.
NEw-HAvEN, May M.-At fully-attended
meeting OF the Yale Club this afternoon the letter
received the Harvard Boat Club, in response to
Yales challenge Of Dec. TO- 1870 for sixoared three
miles, straightaway race on any course in America
which the challenged party might select was read by
the President This letter TO the effect that while
Harvard would allow Yale to enter the Union
College Regatta, TO be rowed on the Connecticut
River near Springfield Mass July II, underits auspices
over three-me straight course, they would not allow
Yale to engage in separate University at any other
place than Lake Quinsigamond, Worcester, over
doubled mle-and-a-haf course, with single turning
stake After an exciting debate, it voted by a
large majority that the Harvard oarsmen be
informed that their letter is construed as
acceptance OF the challenge Of Dec TO- and that the
University Of Yale having in consequence dis
banded Will recognize any future acceptance OF that
challenge Thus the question Yale taking part in
college this Summer is settled by the refusal or
Harvard 10 allow a straight University race, and by
Yales refusal to take part In miscellaneous college re-
gatta under it's rivals auspices.
