The following is the record of the Yale and Harvard eight-oared crews for the past twelve years. The races of 1876 and 1877 were rowed at West Springfield, and the others at New London: The EAGLE Cup having been won by a crew of the Seawanhaka Boat Club for the third consecutive year, the trophy is now their absolute property. The prize, which was supplementary to the Association gold badge, was a solid sterling silver cup, presented by the EAGLE ASSOciation to the L. 1. A. R. A., of which the above engraving is a faithful reproduction. It stands 15 inches high, and is unique in design. On the front of the cup is the inscription," presented by the BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE to the Long Island Amateur Rowing Association, 1886. Around the top of the cup stands out in bold relief, a wreath of laurel leaves, on a background of oxidized silver, under which are inserted the record of races for the trophy. These records are engraved on three sides of the base, while on the fourth and front side is a cleverly executed four-oared shell with crew, in relief, with an oxidized background. On the lid of tho cup is an eagle, with outspread wings, one claw on a globe and the other clutching four spoon oars, around the centre of which is entwined a delicate sprig of vinery. The cup was manufactured by James H. Hart, of Brooklyn. The conditions accompanying the presentation of the cup were that it should be rowed for once a year, or as many more times as the Association might determine, at Association regattas, and to become the absolute property of any club winning it for three consecutive years. On the op posite page are the portraits of the five gentlemen who have constituted the crew which has won the cup three times. These gentlemen have displayed their skill and stamina as oarsmen on various waters, and as a crew, the Seawanhaka "old four" has never been conquered. Their first important victory was on Greenwood Lake, at the regatta of the National Association, where they beat the crack crew of the country. Subsequently they have swept the Harlem River and other waters, winning rather by steady rowing, at a 40 to 42 stroke, than by spurting. For the first mile of the last race for the EAGLE Cup, they rowed a 37 to the minute stroke, holding their own against their competitors, drawing away with a 42 stroke during the last half mile. Having won so much renown and such a valuable trophy for their club, they will not enter any more races as a senior crew in shells. THE EAGLE CUP CREW. John J. Fogarty age, 30; weight trained, 140 lbs. Rowed bow, 1886; stroke, 1887; No. 2, 1888. Robert H. Pelton, age, 28; weight trained, 138 lbs. Rowed No. 3, 1886, 1887 and 1888. Charles G.

Over 500 birds were entered to compete for this trophy. The trophy was a handsome silver cup about ten inches high.
