He says also that if that place can be agreed upon as the spot for the race for a term of years, he will in addi- tion erect the necessary boat houses for the crews The message making the offer was sent to the representatives of Yale and liar yard, and it is understood that Harvard men have been to this city stating that Harvard " ould accept Indian Harbor.
