Oxford Challenged to Another Race
Within a Week Prospect of its
.Acceptance The Excitement
in London.
Tin- following special despatches graphically
describe the great International liace on the
Thames, and foreshadow another contest of the
same nature between the two t'nlvemity crcArs:
I.OMMiN, Aug. 27 The International boat race lias
been won by the oxfords by a clear three lengths.
The. race Is conceded universally to have been per
fectly fair and honorable on Imth sides. The time
occupied by Oxford was twenty-two minutes and
forty-one seconds more than they took over the
course a few days ago. The Harvard won the right
to choline the shore, and of course chose the .Middle
sex side.
The race started sit quarter past .Bat the word "go,-'
pronounced by Mr. Itlaikie, the stroke of '66, and the
coach of the Harvard four. Oxford twice answered
no, while Harvard seemed more unxiotts to start, as
the tide was beginning to run out.
The boat used by Harvard was the American boat
built by lllllot. The distance rowed Is a little less
than four miles ami three furlongs. The dav was
fair but the tide unfavorable. For the llrst niile of
the race Harvard was ahead, by more than a length,
rowing forty-two strokes per minute to Oxford's
thirty-nine.
Harvard's rowing was most brilliant, and many
believe that the race might have been gulned hail
the coxswain made a better eilort to take Oxford's
water. As Hammersmith Hrlilge was passed, the
advantage was still with the Ilarvards j but It was
perceived that the pace at. which they started could
not be maintained.
As Harvard sank from forty-two to fortv, and
lower, Oxford rose to forty strokes per minute, and
maintained it without alteration to the end. A little
before Chiswlck was reached (about half-way), Ox
ford, by a splendid mano'iivre of the coxswain, took
Harvard's water, and all of .Mr. Burnhain's efforts
to escape Oxford's wash were in vain.
As Chiswlck church was passed Harvard was visi
bly distressed, and Mr. ISunilumi began throwing
water over his stroke and Simmons, on whom the
labor and the sultriness told heavily. It was now
perceived that the race was lost by the Harvard,
though one more heroic etl'ort was made to gain Ox
ford's side.
When the gun sounded the Harvard crew, nrter a
moment's rest, drew up by the side of the Oxford
boat, and applauded their victors by clapping their
hands. The Oxouisns acknowledged this by taking
ott' their hats. The greatest enthusiasm was mani
fested, and from the Englishmen on the umpire's
boat and the boat for the press t he only t wo accom
panying the race there were cheers given for Har
vard. Having paid their respects to their opponents, the
Harvard crew embarked on a steamer. The Ox
ford crew, which seemed but little fatigued, rowed
back to Putney, attended by the press steamer Sun
flower, which announced their victory to the
crowded shores by raising the Oxford above the
Harvard colors.
The ovation they received was a prolonged cheer
passing from Mortlake to London. It is believed
that no crowd so immense ever before gathered on
the Thames. Among the flags many were Ameri
can, and two of the largest of these were waved by
the victorious crew. On return the feeling between
the adherents of the two sides was very friendly, on
account of the extraordinary care taken by all that
the Harvard should have nothing to complain of.
There are various theories of the cause of Har
vard's failure. It Is rumored that their diet has
been lately vegetarian, but It Is not true. Lorlng is
criticised for not having English coaching; liurnham
for bad steering, but many good judges declare that
the race was almost a repetition of the race between
the English universities, and Harvard failed because
Its style Is that of Cambridge.
Among the Americans who witnessed the race
were Consuls Dudley and Morse, the Hon. S. S. Cox,
Messrs. Welker, Morgan, Sturgls, and Wilkes. The
American press was largely represented, and a num
ber of English literary men were present.
A good deal of money was lost by bets being taken
when Oxford was behind. The largest loss I heard
of by an American was four hundred pounds.
An effort was made to foul Oxford. It will be In
vestigated. The Individual was In dress like a mem
ber of a famous rowing club, and a lad was In his
boat. No one supposes it other than an attempt to
win a bet. The relative crews are very kindly to
night ; thoy dine together at Mr. Phillips' residence
at Mortlake. To-morrow the Harvard crew wll
dine with Morgan Baker, and on Monday both crews
will be at the London ltowing Club banquet.
Immediately after that the Harvard crew will dls
Serse. Mr. Simmons goes to Heidelberg to pursue
is studies. He has gained much admiration for his
beautiful rowing, as has Lorlng for his science.
Thomas Hughes visited the crews Just before the
race. He has dined with the Harvard crew. Hall,
the Oxford coxswain, who looks like a boy of twelve
years, receives much praise for his tact. Wormall,
editor of Jkll' Life, attributes much to Willan's four
years' experience of the course with the Cambridge
races.
Kelly, the coach, declares the lack of scientific
rowing and bad steering lost the race. On the press
boat there were only 11 fty persons, to which the
number was limited by the Thames Coaservancy.
Among those on it representing American journals
were Dicey, Chlckson, Kirwan, Smaller, and one
Wilkes' was on the umpires' boat. No question was
raised before the umpires, who were fialston, Cap
tain of the London JtowingClub, for the Harvard
crew, and Chitty, for the Oxford crew, Hughes being
the referee.
Fay, of the Harvard crew, made desperate efforts
to alter the tide of affairs, and although the coxswain
threw water over his men and roused them to fresh
exertions every minute, they gradually fell astern.
Then they put on another spurt, and rapidly drew
up to their competitors; but it died out, and Oxford
preserved the lead, although their boat was nearly
overturned by some parlies whom the Thames
police would have done well to look after. The
Oxonians won by three boat lengths, but with great
effort.
The American crew thus gave a better account of
themselves than was expected, and such a magnifi
cent race it may never be my lot to witness. I
omitted to state that the Harvard crew won the toss,
and took the Middlesex side, but bad steering ren-
uereu it worse man useless.

ANOTIIKRAt'COl'NT.
London, Aug 27 You know already from what
has been sent you heretofore, or at least It cannot be
very hard for you to imagine the state of excitement
that London has been in for the past few days, in an
ticipation of the event which has now at last been
decided iu favor of her favorites. It is our habit to
consider that the English population are not as ex
citable as our own, but the fact is that, although
they take more to rouse them, they are
capable of being roused to a far higher
pitch of excitement than any aggregation of Ameri
can humanity. And this Is to them, even more than
to ns, an occasion to call forth all their dormant
patriotism. Horses and boats are the two things
in which your Englishman takes a particular
and patriotic pride. Threuten his aquatic supre
macy or his equine supremacy, and you touch
him In his most vital part, and you thrill every fibre
of him with unquenchable desperation and fury. The
victory which the yacht America won in the Solent
in 1S61 was not nearly so much the cause of Ameri
can exultation as of British disgust. When the
French (lladlateur came over and won the Derby,
the English heart was fairly ablaze. You remember
how often and how persistently attempts were made,
even after the horse hail shown his superiority, to
do him out of his just dues by trickery, and how
nearly those attempts came to being successful.
And here now, after John Bull has been subjected to
the laceration of his very tenderest sympathies by
seeing a foreign yacht carry on his royal
cup, and a foreign horse win his Derby,
comes a crew of Americans with
Intent to wound him more Intimately yet. For
the university race is as truly, to respectable Eng
lish sportsmen, the boating event of the year, as the
Derby is the great turf event. Contests between
professional watermen are not regarded with a
more favorable or a more interested eye by the
jreuerai mass of Englishmen than they are by the
taSUiil WHBfl Cl AWWhiUU, iivre, ajj U( borne,
trickery is expected, and even if It wore
absent the character of the professionals
would prevent, any groat eillux of enthu
siasm on their behalf. But with the university
race it is different, and It deserves to be different.
For not only Is the university race free from the
slightest suspicion of unfairness or Jockeying, but It
is rowed by young fellows who realize more nearly
than almost any other class in the lirltlsh Island the
Ideal Knglishman. Handsome, stalwart, truthful,
honorable, possessors of excellently well-trained
bodies, and tolerably well-trained minds, the boating
men of oxford and Cambridge have gone through
the cyropa'dlac curriculum of learning to ride, or, at
least, to row, to shoot, and to speak the truth, the
pride their countrymen take In them as the best
result that English civilization can turn out is not.
altogether unworthy or unjustlllable. The regatta
of ale and Harvard falls far below the regatta
of Oxford and Cambridge in tne Interest which the
compatriots of the participants take in It. And this
Is explicable enough without taking Into account
that there are at least four amateiiroarsmeii in Kng
land to every one in America. For though Vale and
Harvard, which are ttie only ones of your colleges
where rowing has ever begun to bo practised with
siicntilic precision, or Is entitled to be called an art
at all, are the most prominent colleges In the Vnited
states, they by no means enjoy the monopoly of
higher education, which, In spite of the uprising of
younger universities, Intended to meet more modern
requirements, the ancient seats of learning by the
sis and Hie Cam, still practically retain. They do
not represent the American educated public with
anything like the fulness with which oxford ami
Cambridge represent the British public. A defeat
inflicted upon either of them would not be a tenth
of the national humiliation as a defeat Inllictcd
upon either of the English universities. And old
Oxonians ainl old Cantabrigans, as well us under
graduates, plume themselves quite as much upon
miiscularas upon scholastic, pre-eminence. It has
been doubtful which of them had the bettor crow,
though an unbroken series of Oxonian victoriiM
since Istil would scent to have Nettled that question
pretty conclusively. But whatever might lie th ;
opinion of their relative merits, uo true licit on per
mitted himself to doubt that cither of them was Im
measurably and seir-evldcntly superior to any crew
of undergraduates that the Insignificant portions of
the planet which has the misfortune to He outside
the British isles could furnish.
Imagine all this to yourselves, and you will bo
able to form some notion of the horror which seized
the British soul when the challenge was promul
gated. The disgust of (ioliah aua Oath when David
presented his ruddy '"cheek" to him, and besought
gory combat, was respectful admiration compared
jo the disdainful snort or the derisive chuckle with
which the boating undergraduates of England read
this harmless missive. Even after the Ilarvards
had actually come over, with a spirit which
ought at least to have secured them re
spectful treatment, you remember the sneers
In which one portion of the press saw tit to indulge
at the "form" In which they rowed when they were
just oil' shipboard, and their training had been
broken up lor a fortnight. You remember how the
J'alt Mall (unite, sneered at them us a crew that
would only be fit at Oxford for a "torpid'' crew,
which is equivalent to saying that they ought to
be In the awkward squad. As the Harvard men con
tinued their practice, and got into something like
condition, it was carinas to sec the change that came
over the British dream, and the gradual accessor
respect with which the press treated them. Whereas
at llrst they were "torpids," it has come to be ad
mitted, for the past few days, that they were likely
to push their opponents hard, and that there was a
dim and dreadful possibility that they might win the
race.
This last hideous chance entirely upset the equan
imity of the British temper. Since it came to be
believed that Harvard had a chance, nothing else
but the race has been talked about In public or In
private places. Mot much has been published about
the betting, and probably you would not care to hear
much about It. But a great ileal of money has been
laid, and at not very long odds either, considering
the antecedent probabilities in favor of Oxford. And
this morning London fairly emptied Itself and spread
along both banks of the Thames to see the race,
which was to strengthen or to overthrow the aquatic
prestige of Oxford.
The Weather.
The day was a beautiful one iti ull respects. A
blue sky, with a light summer breeze in the west
and a dusk v cloud over the city to the east, heated
with a mellow radiance. The water Itself was in
viting, it was just ruffled with a light breeze, and
thut only in spots. Here and there the smooth
glimmer showed the blue sky above. Standing on
the Fulham Bridge, one could see in almost a straight
line the long gleam of water, and catch a view of
the Hammersmith Bridge, two miles off. The at
mosphere was as clear as that on the Hudson, and
the minutest objects of interest lay bright and con
spicuous in the afternoon light.
The Ilnnkfl.
It should be understood that from Putney (or Ful
ham) Bridge all the way to Barnes Bridge there Is on
the Surrey side of the river a wide towpath accessi
ble from a dozen points. This side of the river was,
therefore, open to the crowds of spectators which
early In the alternoon begged to come in, not only
from the high street ami Humes station of the
Southwestern Hallway, but on the Kings
and Fulham roads, aud all the lanes leading
down from the east. On the other or Mid
dlesex side, from Bishop's creek, three
furlongs above the starting point, there is a con
tinuous stretch oi private parks and cottage grounds,
carefully guarded from the Incursions of a London
crowd, and inaccessible even on such special occa
lons as this to the general public. This side of the
iver, however, was thronged with the gentry and
heir ladles. At the Craven Cottage a pavilion had
been erected with an awning for the accoramoda
lon of the visitors, and upon the ground aud on the
verandahs and roof-tops men and women were
gathered long before the hour of starting.
The Spectators.
Across the Fulham Bridge there rattled an almost
uninterrupted stream of vehicles. The heavy lum
bering, buses of the metropolis, crowded not only
inside but on top, with noisy passengers, and with
men hurrying on behind the numerous fancy turn
outs of sporting men. gaily dressed In colors ; the
countless vehicles which a London crowd pick up to
attend a race, hacks, cabs, carts, wagons, gigs,
phaetons, jaunting cars, and vans close together iu
a rapid unbroken Mejpassed over the bridge. The
occupants leaning out of the 'bus windows waving
their hats, shouting to each other, and guying the
onlookers as only Englishmen can.
Around the Hud Lion the confusion and excite,
ment were something terrible, nor did the presence
of the peelers In large force serve to protect the
peaceably-disposed spectators from that hustling,
and all those playful tricks of a Loudon crowd
which, whether at a hanging or the hustings, are In
dulged in with utter freedom. At 4 o'clock the
south shore was lined from the Bells to Barnes
Terrace with an unbroken mass of human beings.
Their Interest wub Intense; they looked anxiously
down the river; loud cries broke out ever and anon,
"Here they come," and they, tna long
line, would crane its thousands of necks
and men would be pushed out of place and stronger
men get their positions, aud the crowd would shout
and laugh. Here and there cheers were heard now
for the Oxfords and now for the Ilarvards. The
sympathy of tin lower class was unmistakably with
their countrymen. But there was the best, of feeling.
The gay decorations of the vehicles many of them
being trimmed with the colors of the respective
crews gave a llvelv appearance to the crowds, and
the animation and excitement during the long wait
never flagged for an Instant.
Around the starting point every movement was
watched with breathless interest. Below the bridge
the crowded steamers, forbidden to come beyond a
certain point, seemed masses of human beings.
The crowds, when the men appeared, shouted, and
at short Intervals ottered kindly advice. W hen the
word to start was given, and the two boats shot
ahead like arrows, the Immense concourse seemed
to hold its breath. For a minute after (he llrst shout
there was not a sound. Then the excltemeut
burst the bounds. Men broke the lines aud
ran along the path, cries of all descriptions
went up, haudkerchiefs, hats, and colors were
waved. A million people seemed to bo bursting with
curiosity and anxiety. Tho two boats came out
even, but presently the oxfords showed a little
ahead. To those on the steamers it seemed that the
million were breathing hard. For at least a quarter
of a mile the two crews rowed evenly. There was
to the spectators no evidence of superiority iu
either, and nothing to the unpractised eye
to distinguish them but their colors. They
were greeted with cries aud cheers uow one crew,
now the other, but there was nothing to indicate
that the brave fellows heard a word. As they passed
up, the lower end of the crowd attempted to follow.
Indeed, the progress of the boats marked the
dissolution of the lino of people. Above it was
straight, expectant, eager; uelow, turmoil, confu
sion. At the Iron foundry, distillery, aud lead mills
the operatives were all out and sent up loud cheers
as the boats passed. After Barnes Bridge had been
paused, and the result of the struggle was apparent,
the cheers becsme continuous aud rolled back along
the river line in long swells. The moment the result
was telegraphed down the line, the multitude broke,
and In less than fifteen minutes the vast crowd was
broken up Into groups gesticulating and betting, and
forcing their way back to the vehicles and bridges.
The Htnrt.
It. was a quarter to ft when the Oxford boat shot
out from the boat-house of the Imilon ltowing Club,
a little more than half a mile above the aqueduct at
Putney, and paddled down the river to the starting
point. Of course there was great, cheering as they
swung round into position, und kept her steady for
the start. Though they showed no colors nt first, it
was easy enough to recognize them, for they were as j
typical htigiisiimen as their opponents were typical
Americans. Some live minutes id suspense passed
before the Harvard shell was seen to shoot out from
the southern buuk. aud glide down to Its opponent.
The cheers were ciilvalrlcally loud and long as they
rounded Into position alongside. Then there was a
stripping of jackets and showing of colors. Harvard
was In her deep magenta, and oxford in her Imme
morial blue. Tiiou the battery of count
less opera glasses from both banks
and from Putney Bridge was turned
upon them, and the scrutiny was close and anxious.
The oxfords, for all their training, looked stout,
particularly when compared with their competitors.
The Yankees wore gaunt as greyhouuds, and the
Bi itons us bin 11 as bull-dogs. Anyone could have
picked out which were the Americans as they lay
thorn on their oars, and almost any one who went
by looks alone would pick the AmcricauRmt as the
more powerful men.
The Knrr.
Harvard had won the toss before, and chosen the
Middlesex side. This gave Oxford the inner are of
the semi-circle which constitutes the course, but
Harvard took It, despite the disadvantage, because
the llow of the tide, which was almost, now at llo.nl,
was more perceptible and helpful to them there than
further in shore. There was a good deal of preli
minary hacking and tilling, which perhaps served a
good purpose iu allaying the the nervousness of
Harvard, but fidgeted nearly all the specta
tors so highly that Ihey were wrought up to
an almost Intolerable degree. Mr. Blaikie, of Har
vard, was the starter, aud lie went to give the wind
tevcral times, when the Oxford men stopped him.
and there was more twitching of the boats and more
llilgcting of the spectators. At last, after Harvard
had begun to fret at the prospect that unless tlietlde
were takeu at the Hood It would not hold
throughout the course, and so would not, lead theiu
on to fortune, Oxford signilied lier readiness and the
word dropped;
(in !
Tlioy sped away quietly and swiftly, and, though
the English experts claimed that the Oxford had
by lar the bettor "form,'' the quick dash of Harvard
was quite equal to It for mere grace, however It may
have been for power. And the power did not seeiii
lacking at llrst. In three lengths, however, oxford
drew slightly, very slightly, ahead, and away they
wont up the river, the Harvard oars going a little
faster than the Oxford, and both as regular as clock
work. Finally they dwindled down the stretch towards
Hammersmith, bridge In plain sight from Putney
bririge. L'p to that point Harvard had had a stretch
analogous to her course at home, and the coxswain
was an incumbrance so that it was still anybody's
race. But as they neared the bridge It appeared
plain, from the statements of all who could see them
that their coxswain minted it, and steered bo near
the shore that the swell of Oxford stopped their way,
Nevertheless.the Ilarvards put on strum, and even as
they went wider, the race was not Irretrievable. But
from this point the oxfords had every advantage.
The river takes a sudden bend to the south. The
curve is short, and right in the jaws of It lies the
Ait, now covered with the Hood tide. The tortuous
nature of the stream was in itself unfavorable, and
here the Oxfords put out ull their strength. The
Ilarvards seemed fully aware of the sudden dis
advantage. They, too, labored with new euergy,
but In their case it did not tell. To those on the
shore it seemed that something suddenly re
tarded the boat ; the strokes were heavier, but the
vessel did not respond with alacrity. Once It broke
away aud came up to within a yard of the Oxfords,
bat it was a momentary speed. The English boat
gradually increased her lead from one to two lengths,
and the friends and backers of the Americans be
came despoudingly silent. At Barnes Bridge the
Oxfords had gained unother length. The music of
the umpires' boat was heard. Another five minutes
and the goal was reached by the oxfords twenty
five yards ahead. The time by Benson cronotrrun
was 22 41)$. 1
Siimnondn' Indisposition Harvard's Irrcirulnr
Stroke.
The New Y'ork Tribune has the following spe
cial: London, Aug. 27 Noon The morning opened
bright and clear, and the absence of the English
dri..le Increased the chances of Harvard's success
The crew passed a good night, though this morning
Mr. Simmonds showed weakness from the severe
attack of diarrhoea with which he has suffered for
several days. Loriug, too, has been troubled with a
boll, which is far from well, but the rest of the crew
are in splendid condition, and were full of confi
dence. The race was set down for 5 o'clock, but before
noon the crowds began to line the bauks of the
Thames, and for hours before the start the roads
were crowded with vehicles of every description,
aud business was neglected.
Harvard won the choice of position, and took the
Middlesex side or outside of the semi-circle. When
the word was given, Harvard's nwted start, came
into play, for their oars took the water first making
43 strokes to the minute. The Oxfords made only 40.
For a mile and a half the race was splendid. Har
vard soon drew away from Oxford, and kept the lead
to Craven Cottage, a distance of three-quarters of a
mile. Oxford drew up level just beyond Hammersmith
Bridge, and when off Chiswlck, two miles and a hair
from the start, gained the lead, and alter that they
won as they liked. Tile Oxford crew never changed
their stroke during the race. The stroke of Harvard
was Irregular; they lost form wholly above Ham
mersmith, and when on Chiswlck were rowed
to pieces, though they pulled to the end
of a hopeless race with magnificent pluck,
aud that long after their strength and control over
their muscles had failed. For the last two miles
they had "pluck," aud that only, the coxswain
steering "wide," and the stroke being fatally quick.
The superiority of Oxford, manifest throughout the
race, was never doubtful after the llrst half mile,
though Harvard retained the lead some time after
that point. Oxford won by four lengths. Time, 21
miuntes, '20 3-6 seconds.
A New Ituce .Mooted.
One of the members of the Harvard crew In tele
graphing the result of the race to a relative in this
city, states that the complaint with which Simmons
was sullerlug both before and during the race mani
fested itself mostly strongly when their boat reached
the Soap Works, at which time Harvard was leading
by something over a length. Simmons did not
pull with anything like his accustomed sweep
and vigor, and seemed to be actually suffering. At
the finish, aud Immediately ufter the signal gun an
nounced the termination of the race, he staggered
and fell back, and was only saved from falling by

The chief feature In the local money market yes
terday was the sudden upward bound of specie soon
after the opening of business, and which can only he
accounted for on speculative grounds. The stock
market, for more than two weeks, has been supremely
dull ; und tired of their Inertness, the brokers of New
orkare exerting every evil Influence to produce
some species of alarm In the lltiam ial world, conli
clont that either as "hulls" or "bears" the temporary
excitement will craw llsh to their net. At present
the speculators are making little monev. aud as they
are notoriously heavy feeders tliev are becoming
rabid with hunger. At such times especially it be
hooves those who arc blessed with more monev than
brains to keep beyond the roach of tin Ir Influence.
