Scratch Races.

The scratch races for four-oared crews took place yesterday afternoon, after a delay of about one hour. It was a cold, bleak day on the river and a cutting wind made it disagreeable for the few shivering spectators. It took two preliminary heats and one final to decide the races. With the exception of the substitution of R. J. Carey instead of S. M. Brice, the make-up of the crews was the same as was printed in yesterday's CRIMSON. A great splash was the signal to the spectators that the first three crews were off. Crew No. 1 had the inside course and rounded the turn in the lead, winning by a length and a half, with No. 3 second. Four crews rowed in the second heat. No. 7 won by a very narrow margin and No. 5 was given a close race for second. Fouls were claimed but not allowed. The final heat brought out the first and second crews in the preliminary, heats. Crew No. 1 proved the winner, crossing the line a length ahead of No. 3.

The first crew was made of A. Masters, O. B. Hawes, F. W. Grinnell '95, W. R. Peabody '95.

Third crew. - R. T. Capen, A. N. Beebe, A. Mann, S. F. Batchelder.
