Grandstand for Columbia Race

A grandstand will be erected for the boat-race with Columbia, which will take place on the Charles River next Saturday. The stand will be built on the new Charles River Parkway, near the foot of Arlington street, opposite the finish of the race. For several years grandstands for the, boat-races have been erected near Otter street on the road at the rear of the houses facing Beacon street. This year the erection of the stand upon the newly constructed parkway will bring the spectators much nearer the actual course. The race will be particularly attractive, since it will be the only opportunity of seeing the University crew race on the Charles River this year. Two years ago Columbia defeated Harvard over the same course; last year no race was rowed between the two crews.

Tickets admitting to the grandstand are on sale, at $1.50 each, at Leavitt & Peirce's and Amee's, and at Herrick's and Wright & Ditson's in Boston.
