except possibly Cornell, will send a

will compete for the Diamond SOULS,
OF which he is the holder, having won
the race last year, the first time it was
held

DAYS the guest of officers of the Mas
sau Boat Club, where he learned the
important news that the colleges will
compete in short distance race. Co
Iunbla, Yale and Pennsylvania have

Harvard has been in communication
with The officials of the Harlem River
Association, which conducts the regatta

nothing of Cornell, and could not saw
