Simmons'and Lyman, who are expected'from
England in ten or twelve days.: A special cor

Englandi from what. you were accustentect,
at borne.'.. .
"Yeti,' the crew missed the old boat-house' at
• Caminidge'very much: On the ! Charles. .we
had been able to row naked whenpracticing,
if desirable, and we always rowed naked from
the waist up. 'This plan of. - rowing .prevents
excessive perspiration. We could, also lie

England the crew enjoyed no privacy of this.
kind Whatever. Owing to the 'number of
boats . continually on the river, and, the.,
closeness with which . we were
'Watched; we were forced to. wear Shirts
when rowing, which was very uncomfortable,
and to sonic extent prejudicial. The shirts
carried' the men to" perspire more than they
would have at home in a single row, and tints
took of their fiesliTaster than Ithought fOrat,
first., The shirts also absorbed the perspira-
Iron, and, becoming wet, clung to,•the skirt,
and clammy perspiration is a dangerous as
well as unpleasant thing. 'When we,returned
ftoni a row, especially at low tide, when the
boat had to be'earried to the boahouse over,
the fiats, there would be two rows of people on
eiteh side of their path and the most ridiculous
remarks would be made about them. Never be
fore7---even when reading Blaikie's' Jenkins
reports in the papers, had the crew been so
freely enlightened - . as to their various pecu
liarities of appearance. At home we had been
accustomed to take a salt •water bath as soon
as we got out of the boat, and thus wash the
perspiration off at once. In England we
couldn't get, a bath until our arrival in our
house, quite a little distance away from' the
end of - the row, and often our shirts would get
quite cold and we quite chilly before we could
bkAheni oft This was not only inconvenient,
ut really bad." •
Mr. Loring said that the first effect of the
English climate upon him and his crew was to
make them oppressed with lassitude. They did
not feel anxious for their work as they had at
borne; anti felt a disposition to sit still and do
nothing. It was several days before, this feel
ing perceptibly went away. 'Messrs. Fay and
Lyrnan were troubled the same way when they
came over three weeks afterand were tirstput
into the boat. The dampness of the climate
rendered the Americans very liable to catch
egN . _after a row, before they could get to their
(rters and change their clothes.
, . . .
"Our crew did not have vegetarian' diet
by any means. They were allowed to have as
much. beef and mutton as they desired, and at
every meal if. they liked. They had fruits and
vegetables in' due - preportion, and milk.to
dnnk"Wlien it \Vas good, but that was seldom.
They were also allowed to drink tea to warm
them when chilled. None of the crew drank
or smoked,.all feeling satisfied—Mr. 'Simmons
from actual trial-,that both tobacco and ale
injured the physical condition. There was a
story at one time that the crew, in imitation
of the Oxfords, had taken to drinking ale. It
came from the fact that a barrel of ale was
procured for the entertainment of their
friends."
THE BTART AT THE RACE.
" Wkat 'was your reason for rowing so
rapidly at the start-46 strokes a minute, 1 be
lieve ?
" Oh, that is the American way of rowing,
that's all. ' ..lAy idea was that if we got a lead
at the first it would encourage my creme• and
discourage the Oxfords. The pace was not so
very great, nor Was it designed to be kept up.
As soon as we got our lead we sank to 43
strokes a minute, just enough to maintain our
lead. It is,very discouraging to run a stern
race, and it told on the Oxfords. When we
got to Hammersmith Bridge they looked
pretty sunken about the mouth, and were
rather used up."
"Then you don't believe hi the theory that
you did not, gauge your strength aright, and
tired yourselves out early in the race by row
ing too fast at first?"
"I think we lasted pretty well when we led
them for two miles anti a half.
"Was Mr. Burnham's steering the cause of
much delay
"We lostsomething by one. or two mistakes
be made ; but it is unjust .to blame him. He
steered very well indeed, considering every
thing, and we shouldn't make asea,pe-goat of
"A great deal has been said in regard to his
hot giving Oxford your wash when you led
them."
I ordered hint not to. Some time previous
to the race I ' bad an interview with Mr.
Willan; and I propoSed to him that such trick
as these savored too much of jockeyism, and
should not be practiced in a few between gen
tlemen. He said that it was not very gentle
manly, and I resolved - that we, above all
things, should-behave so that the most cap•:l
tious could not' find fault. \' If we should win
the race I didn't - want to hate it flung in our,
teeth that we won the race by any dodges of
that kind."
o.llord_seem, then, to have changed their
minds about gentlemanly behavior in a rare
after your interview with Mr. 'Milan ?",
~Y es; they evidently aid. There is no doubt
that their superior knowledge of the river—
its eddies and currents--were of advantage to
them. They.knew the river by heart; we had
only learned its outlines." -
"Were the Harvards so exhausted that
Burnham - Was obliged to delay the. boat. to
dash water over you to revive yon , ?"
"No; that, was not the reason. I had hill'
splash water. over us to refresh us, because
wished to employ every means to nve us ad
ditional Spirit. It did not delay theboat at all.
It was the simplest thing possible to any one
acquainted' with Where the coxswain sits. It

"I. hardly . think they, will," said Mr., Loring.
''lt is a saying. among sportriMen that a party
that has won one match is not obliged to go
to the Other party's .ground until they have
been beaten - on their own ground:^r I believe
the Oxfords will abide by this doctrine. If

Tom. Hughes,, Charles - Heade, and others,

SENATOR BROWN LOW.
Ills Announcement of the Sale of the
Knoxville Whig. • .
[From the Knoxville ( Tenn.) Whig, of Sept. 14.]
Having founded the Whig in the Spring of
189, I have been its chief editorand publisher
for a 'term extending through thirty years•-•
first at Elizabethtou next at Jonesboro', and
for the last • twenty years at Knox Ville
. health and other engagements
render it impracticable • for me
longer to look _after the buSiness
interests of the office. I have, therefore,sold•
my entire interest in the Whig, and henceforth
I own no part of any newspaper establishment
in this State or elsewhere. Thepublication of
the Whig will be continued' under a new
• organization ; but by whom it will be pub,
lished and edited lam unable to say. I have
the assurance, however, that it be con
tinued as a Republican journal, advocating the
principles and policy of the Republican party,
and rendering a cordial support.to Gen. Grout
and his administration.
I may add that my chief, if not my only
hope for the stability of. the Government, the
maintenance of Republican institutions—in
which alone true , liberty is found—and the
real welfare and. development of the country,
lies in the perpetuity of the Republican party.
I have no confidence in the corrnpt,distracted
and discordant organization called the Demo
cratic Party. It has ever been the enemy of
liberty, progress and 'civilization, and it has
cost the nation more blood and treasure 'and
suffering than any other one cause, if not than
all others combined.
And further, it is pertinent to say that so
many in. Tennessee who were at one time the
most outspoken Union men, have proved un
true, and haVe turned back to the "flesh pots
of Egypt," betraying the too generouS friends
who had warmed them \into life, that I can
only ask, that the Republicans of the nation
will trust Tennessee politicians as far as -- they
prove themselves trustworthy, and no further.
ln this remark it is not intended to say that
aIL Tennessee politicians aro untrue or un
trnAworthy.. The remark it 4 intended only
for those to whom it properly applies, and the
intelligent reading piiblie will not fail to make
the right application of it.
