...President and Captain of the University Nine will meet the corresponding officers of the Yale Nine, at the Massasoit House, Springfield, to-morrow, February 26, to make arrangements for the match between the two clubs.

A motion was then made and carried that any cups offered as prizes by the citizens of the town in which the regatta is held would be accepted by the Association.

The six colleges, represented by their delegates, decided that there should be such a tournament, and that it should take place at Springfield, July 14; each Nine playing with every other Nine. The tournament, coming to a close on the day of the Regatta, will furnish another...
