Crowds, perhaps, having hour in river (6)
I believe the answer is:
threes
'crowds perhaps having' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'hour in river' is the wordplay.
'hour' becomes 'hr' (abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'river' becomes 'tees' (River Tees).
'hr' inserted within 'tees' is 'THREES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for threes that I've seen is " Triads, troikas, triplets".)
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
