The Challenge to Yale from Dublin University.

The following is taken from the Yale News in regard to the challenge from Dublin University:-

"The challenge recently received by the management of the Navy from Dublin University, Ireland, is only upon the condition that a Yale crew is sent to England to contest with the crews of other universities. This challenge, which is not a formal one, will not for that reason be given for publication, but the conditions are as follows: That the race shall be rowed in eight-oared shells as soon after the contest with the Cambridge University crew as possible, and it shall be over the four-mile straightaway course on the Liffey River, near the banks of which Dublin is situated. Nothing up to the present time has been done by the Yale Navy in regard to the Cambridge race, and, of course, no challenges from other colleges can be considered until that is settled."
