[Continued from r5rst page.] vitation, with the intention of accepting it, to enter a triangular race to be rowed over the four-mile course at New Lon- don on June 20th, 1899. Since we wish | to make definite arrangements as soon as possible, we should like to have an answer to this letter by December 16, 1898 hope that you will find your way clear towards accepting such an invitation. Sincerely yours, F. L. HicGeGinson, Jr., “Captain Harvard University Boat Club.” CORNELL’S REPLY. Cornell’s reply was as follows: “Ithaea, Dec. 8, 1898. “Mr, - F.: L. Wieeineon ir Captain Harvard Crew, Cambridge, Mass. “My Dear Sir—In answer to your letter of the first instant, I would say that it is with great regret that Cornell could not accept such a proposition for several reasons which I explained to you. Weare anxious to arrange a race, as you know. Hoping we may reach an agreement, I am, “Sincerely yours, “S. L. FisHEr.” HARVARD AND YALE FOR NEW LONDON. On January 14, Manager Ord Pres- ton, ’99, and Captain W. Allen, 1900, met representatives of the Harvard Navy at Boston to discuss the situation, and as a result of the conference, the following letter was sent to Cornell’s Captain: “Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 16, 1899. “Mr. Sv" i -bisner, * Captain: Core Navy, Ithaca, N. Y. “My Dear Sir—A meeting of the representatives of the Yale and Harvard Boat Clubs was held in Boston on Jan- uary 16, to consider the arrangements for the annual race which is to be rowed in accordance with the five-year agreement between the two universities. We feel extremely sorry, because of the good record which your crews have so worthily maintained, that the Cornell Crew cannot see its way clear to join- ing us in this race at New London on June 209. ; “The course at Poughkeepsie was considered as a possibility, but both we and our advisers believe the course at New London to be fairer. “If you should reconsider: your deci- sion not to accept the invitation to join us at New London we should be very glad to have you with us. We should also, if it is possible, readjust our date to suit you. At present, it is arranged to meet the convenience of examinations and the requirements of the two Facul- ties, and it cannot well be placed earlier than the 29th of June. “Tn behalf of Yale and Harvard I | Standish, Detroit, Mich.; “We shall proceed with our arrange- ments hoping that Cornell may add to our pleasure by deciding to make one in a triangular race with us. “With the best wishes of Yale and Harvard, I am, “Sincerly yours, “Fr, L. Hrecinson, JR:, “Captain Harvard University Boat Club.” An unusual press of news matter forces the editorial comment of the college papers of Yale, Harvard and Cornell over until the next issue. A Cornell View. {Editorial in Cornell Daily Snn.] There are several circumstances con- nected with the recent race negotiations between Yale and Harvard, on the one side, and Cornell, on the other, which rather reflect upon college diplomacy as it is practiced in New England. Aside from the hard terms imposed up- on Cornell by asking her to row at New London, when it was fairly evident that this would force her to row two separate races in widely separated waters (a proposition which very pro- perly has been declined), Captain Hig- ginson of Harvard violated an unwrit- ten provision of intercollegiate law by giving to the press the correspondence between himself and Captain Fisher be- fore his latest communication was in Captain Fisher’s hands. Then again, Yale has not acted directly as a party to the negotiations but has taken re- fuge behind Harvard, a position which gives her an immense advantage in that she has not been obliged to commit herself to any course of action. It must be apparent that up to this point in the negotiations Cornell has followed a course of action to which an unbiased observer can give his full approval. — PROM GUESTS.
