 THE CREWS TRIP TO HENLEY.
 The Yale News yesterday said in re- gard to the crew going to Henley: "The Yale crew, consisting of thirteen men and MT. Robert J, Cook '76 as coach, will sail for England on June on some steamer going to Southampton Two shells exactly similar to those used by Yale for the past ten years, will be taken along. The entries close on March 31 and letter will be sent over within week or so entering the Yale eight in the Grand Challenge cup race. No entries will be made for the four pared and single scull races A careful canvass has been made of the candf- dates for the crew, and it has been found that none will be disqualified by the clause in the Henley entrance re- qurements which prohibits any person who has done manual labor from row ing at that event. As to the expense, it is roughly estimated at $1000O. Of this about $3,0 900 has been either paid in or subscribed by the freshman and sopho- more classes. The remainder will be raised from graduates, the Financial union and the two upper classes in col lege. Tile Financial union is unable to hand over to the navy as large an amount this year as in former years, owing to the fact that the football sur plus is so small on account of there be- ing no Harvard game, so a large part of the money must be given by gradu- ates. This will be brought about by sending letters to twenty-five or thirty prominent alumni urging them to raise money from the graduates living in their vicinity.
