GREAT BRITAIN.
lANDON,
„August 21.--The Morning
_That has an editorial to-day on tb com
ing International Yacht Race. It says :
In a light wind and on smooth water
there are several English yeah s that
may be relied upon to beat Mr. Be nett's
American yacht Dauntless at every :
point. The result of the recent race to
Cherbourg and return, as a test, was
marred by an accident to the sails of the
' Dauntless. The impref among
yachtsmen is that she does not stand' to
her canvass, and cannot compete success
,' fully in heavy any more than she can in
light weather cbut in' going free she
probably would - sail as fasu, or faster, than
I our deep vessels. A yacht race around the
Azores islands offers a fairer chance to
test the qualltie3 of all vessels. If the
Americans will not sail around the Isle
; of Wight or Ireland, or on a short home
course, rather than forego the trial,• let
us race around the Azores.
As the time for the international boat
racebetween the Harvard College and
the Oxford University crews draws nigh
the excitement in sporting circles in
creases. Much of the space in the news
papers is given up to this subject. The
, following extracts are made from to-day's
• journals:
(From the land and Water.)
__ The balance seems to favor the Oxford
crew. If the Americans win, we will
not only learn the new style of rowine,
,but how. to maintain it. If the Oxfords
win, with aim weeks of exercise, without
doing their best at any time, it will be an
aquatic revolution.
(From the Saturday Review.]
We don't attach much importance to
the time made in training. If the Har
vard crew win the race, we vrillacknowl
edge our notions about our style-of row
ing are antiquated absurdities. '
(From the Spectator.)
The opinion in respect to the crews,
and in regard to th 9 cnances of victory,
are nearly even. The public are inquir
ing if the Americans have ever put out
• their whole strength. The route is a
hard one, but the race is likely to be
close. If the weather is bad, the result
will probably be in favor of the Oxfords;
if good, thei Ilarvards will win. A nice
slow English drizzle is the thing to take
the heart out of Americans. Regula•
tions haVe been issued to keep the course
clear for two hours before and until the
race is ended.
The weather is fair and favorable for
crops.
-The Morning Standard to-day has an
editorial on Canadian mutters. _ The
writer says'there are great probabilities
of a change in the relations between
Canada and Great Britain, which would
be likely to be distasteful to a majority
of the inhabitants of the Dominion, if
- they were consulted. If there 18 any
dissatisfaction with the existing state of
• of affairs, it in only by feelings that we
can safely- make intelligible to those
south of the frontier. AU that can be
done under the present government is to
repudiate the notion that a withdrawal
of the troops implies a desire to -shuffle
out of responsibilities cast on. Great Bri
tain by the presence of a flag in colonial
territory, watch means military admin
istration. England is now in the , hands
of those who fail to appreciate the Cana.
dian question: _
Messrs. Harwood and -Hatcher, who
were arrested at New York and taken to
England for trial on a•charge of 'forgery,
were brought up at the Mansion House
to-day for a preliminary examination.
At the close Mr. Hat Cher was discharged
and Mr. Harwood remanded for trial.
LoNDol August 21.—Evening.—Mr.
Gladstone has entirely •recovered his
health:
The Oxford crew were out for practice
again t&.day,. They made good pace.
with thirtyeight to thirty-nine strokes
per. minute, well pulled. Th6-Harvard
crew were also out, with. the Jewett boat.
The oxwain's seat has been lowered,
which increased Their steadiness. They
go away briskly ittsnearly forty strokes
per minute. Teir rowing is regarded
very satisfactor h y. Good judges think
the Harvards are likely, to lead in the
race. At the special desire of the Har
vard crew, Thomas Hughes, ex.ruember
of Pariament •for Oxford, has been ap
pointed referee. Mr. Simmons, of the
Harvard crew, is slightly indisposed to
day. The betting is now sevenlo four

N AsELiILLB, August 21. —Mr. Fletcher,
Secretary of State, Publishes a letter to.
day In response to 'bondholders, who
wisked to know whether they should
hold their new bonds. He tells them
that"their new bonds in law and equity
are as good as the old, and re:Ur:mends
them to keep them. Lie says they can
not be repudiated, because they are col
lectable by law in the federal courts,
either by direct snit against the State or
by bill in equity to enforce the State's
lien against she railroads for the benefit
of Bondholders: In conclusion, he says:
' , Repudiation - is impossible for many
reasons. Firat, and above all, because,the
people-of Tennessee are too proud and
too lack:est; because there is not the shad.
ow of justification for it, and because our
bonds are collectable in the Courts. It
is impossible, in the face of the condem
nation of the world.. No. Legislature
can or dare adopt a measure which would
brand- every Tennessean with disgrace
wherever he may go on the face of the
earth, and which would make our chil
dren's children blush to own their mi.
