THE RIVER.

THE Spring Scratch Races of the H. U. B. C. were rowed over the Boat House course, Saturday, May 17. The single scull race was easily won by W. F. Weld, Jr., '76, with D. C. Bacon, '76, a bad second. For the double race there were two entries: F. S. Watson and F. R. Appleton, and C. W. Wetmore and W. Hartwell, all of '75. Hartwell had the misfortune to break his rudder near the start, and the other men came in first with a very pretty stroke. The six-oar race was a very good one. Only two crews pulled, and these kept well together throughout the race. The men in the winning boat were: Belmont, '74; cox.; Wheeler, s.; Harding, '74; Wetmore, '75; Hall, '76; F. R. Appleton, '75; Hartwell, '75, b.
