, to carry the vast numbers in waitng at
thd depots. It is no exaggeration to state
that probably a million of peoi)le wit
nessed the race. I I
.
The Harvard crew wonthe toss for po
sition and chose the Middlesex Riddle,
l
the outside of the semi -circle. Bo h
boats - started at five o'ciciek, fourtetin
minutes and mix and a half seconds. The
tide at the staat was sluggish and‘ a
light.south . west breeze prevailed,
with smooth water. The Harvards weir,
the first to catch the water and took the
lead, gaining rapidly upon their oppo
nents and making folty-live strokes per
minute against the Oxfords forty. At
Bishop's Creek, three furlongs from the
start, the Harvards led half a length.
and gaining heaciWay 4 they increased
their lead, as they passed the Wil
lows. Their pace was subsequently
slackened and the Oxfords pulled up,
but the Harvards were still tbree-fourgs
of a length aheadl4,Celiven POint, three
quarters of a mile Mb% the start. • The
Oxfords now went on with a steady drag,
tint the Americans tepidly increased
their lead, and at Crab Tree. a mile and
an eighth from tar Aqueduct, were a
couple of lengths Abead; Beyond here
the Harvards were taken wide, and
the Oxfords, quillikning their speed,
reduced tho gar llic the Soap Works,
a mile and a half from the start,
to half a length. The Harvard, now
pulled with a magnificent burst to Ham
inersmilh bridge, a mile and three-quar- 1
tern, but in shooting the bridge lost the
distance they had gained. Opixiaits the
middle wall the Oxfords, , t•litirted and
came up gradually 0.: the Harvards, 1
but when opposite the Doves the
boats . were found to be too Close
togetherCH!; and
~tit'a Harvards gave way,
and- at wick, two and a half miles,
the boats were level. After proceeding
fifty yards further, the Oxfords began to
gain, though temporarily, and the Har
vards soon got even with them. Toe Ox
fords gained rapidly at Chiswick, where
it became clear that the pace apparently
told on the Harvards, who were rather
wild at this part of the race.
From this point the Oxfords rapidly
crew ahead, in a few strokes
obtaining a lead of two lengths. The
Harvards rowing pluckily held them
there for half a mile, when they fell
astern, and the Oxfords, at thirty-eight
strokes per minute, shot Barns Bridge,
RV miles). three lengths ahead. Along
Barns Reach, the Harvards-refreshed
their stroke, Mr. Loring, with river
water, thereby retarding their boat.
The Americans then tried to spurt, but
found the effort ineffectual, and the Oic . -
fords, getting more of a lead, eventually
won the race by four lengths, easing
np in the last few strokes and pulling up
fresh.
The Oxfords arrived at the ahip at five
o'clock, thirty-six minutes and forty.
seven seconds, making the four and one
nurth miles in twenty-two minutes and
forty and one-half seconds. The Amer
icans were well received at the finish,
and returning, landed at Barnes.
The race was a good, one, and excited
a degree of . enthusiasni along the banks
of the river utterly unknown in 'former
races.

[By Teleitreph to the ritCburgh Gazette.]
PRESS COMMENTS.
LONDON, August 27.—/brenoon.—The
newspapers to-day publish their closing
comments on the boat race. The Tele
. graph eulogizes the Elliott beat as light,
•
fast and graceful; it travels well and suits
She crew. "We do not expect," the Tele
' vraph stays, "that the Harvards can win
the race, but the changes made by them
bring the crews more on a level. On the
whole, we think it will be a capital race s
bat that the Oxfords will defeat their
gallant adversaries without difficulty.
If otherwise, the Harvards must have an
ovation, to show that we are not ashamed
to be beaten by our excellent Cousins."
.
The writer takes, the opportunity to
• si&cowledge to the' full extent the °b
ilious fiLd'AseAtable _disadvantage the
' Harvards have contended against. "The
•
river and everything wea change and
tinfamdiar, and masters as they were e.
the seiencertif rowing, they had to - study
almost like the alphaoet of a foreign lan
guage. The Oxfords, on the Charles
r
I river, would labor under similar (thud.
vantages. All that can .be said is the
Add grace to victory
P ." , y
The Star says: "Tee Americans are in
dividually more po .verful than the Ox
,.fords, but it is thought their training is
r • not according to .the English notion of
strictness."
The Daily News says: "Above all things
4 , we are anxious that the contest shall be
sharp from first to last—that the victory,
• • •i whether on one or the other side, shall
be so hard to win as to cover the winners
• and losers alike with glory."
STYLE OF ROW/NQ.
.1 The, following is the letter of Mr.
~1 Blaikie, sent to 'the. London Tunes for
publication:
•' , "Sim After it has been asserted, for
• . the.last three week; that the Harvard
fcli-artrendeataartartcr-andbm, their
style - of rowing to the gentlemen they
,• • hope to meet on the river, •will you per
mit me to say, in advance of the contest,
• ; . that the assertion is groundless. We be
,
; lieve our style to be exactly that adopted
• ;
1 by us in each of our last three annual
races against the Yale crew. Our stroke
oar is aware of no change, and the men
who follow stroke are aware of none, nor
has there been any variation of our
method of training or instructions. It is
• said, also, that the Americans will row
:•-•" , in an Eadlish boat. That is equally in
: correct. They will row in a boat built of
Spanish cedar by an American builder,
• the frame of which we brought from
home, and the lines of which are identi
cal with those on which the boat we rowed
in last year was constructed.
. • "If we may Judge bv the stress laid on
these latter points in the English jour
nals, they are deemed, as they appear to
Its, of some importance. We ask' to
place ourselves right in respect to them,
so that whether we are to win or lose,
the merit of our victory or the blame of
oar defeatni may fall where it belongs.

Secretary of the Harvard Club."

Passenger Seaway, the acceptance of
which We had no cause to regret.
THE EXCIIRSIONITOS.
At half past ten o'clock yesterday
, 1
morning the party, consisting of the
President of the Company, E. P. Jones,
Es q„ a P. Duff. Esq.,
Jr
Rolm,
Arthur'', EN., H. W.. Oliver. Jr. , Chas.
Jeremy, R. J. Powers, Gan
A. L. Pearson, Col. Wm. A. Herron, R.
13. Herron, Superintendent of the road,
and several representatives of the city
press, assembled at the office or R. J.
Powers, Esq., Grant Street, and soon
after started 'on the excursion in one of
the new ears of the company, which had
been detailed for the purpose.
AT MR. JOIMIET.
After a pleasant ride of about twenty- 1 1
five minutes the car stopped apposite I
the residence of the President, Mr. Zones, 1 1
where a short time was devoted to re
fresbments sad viewing the resident's
grounds, thelocation of which is, in the
true sense of the word, delightful. At
ter partaking of some excellent domes
tic wine and delicious fruit, grown upon
the premises, the entire party were es
corted ever the _grounds, fromthe suzamib
of which a most charming and magnifi
cent view is presented. Mr. Jones has
in course of ereetion a splendid mansion,
which, when ,completed, wfil be one of
the finest residences in the city, and I
we might say with safety, in the western I
part of tla3State. The structure presents '
a front of 80 by6o feet deep, with a
' tower 75 feet high in the cent% and is
of the castellated style of_architecture.
The building is of brick, but is being
painted stone colorpand will be finished
on the inside with hard wood. We re
gret that our limited space dose not af
ford room for a more full description of
this splendid structure, as it wilb not only
to a credit to the city, but is an evidence.
of the good taste and enterprise of the
proprietor.
031 TRIP' ETIN ITED..
. After an TX hour sp ent pleasantly, the
trip was resumed and a few minutes'
ride brought us to the present terminus
of the road, at the junction of Herron
and Madison avenue; in the Thirteenth
ward, where the company's car house
and stables are situated.
TELE STABffices ,LE%
The car house,. oand stables - of
the company are all under. one roof.
The building is a frame, two hundred
and forty.two feetin length, twenty-four,
feet wide at one end and sixty at the
other, two stories high.- Tne lot upon
which the structure stands is a triangu•
lar piece of ground, lying between Wadi
eon and Herron avenues, Over the car
house a splendid hall has been arranged
and will be fitted up for the use of the
public. The stable is entered from the
ear house and is arrang ed for the accom
modation of seventy miss and is sup
plied with hydrant water. Mr. George
Corbit was the contractor for the con
etraction or the stables, and also for Mr.
.Jones' new house, which we have re
ierred to above.
ILE tutos's
After an exa nnaon of the stables;
Mr. A. G. Herron, the Superintendent of
the road, took the party in charge and
conducted them to his residence on Her
ron's Hill, at the- head of Line street, a
short distance from Herron avenue,
where a most delicious lunch was served
and dispatched by the excursionists with
a zest, which gave ample evidence of
their appreciation of "mine boat's" way
of doing things., After the lunch came
cigars and a rest of a few mnments, when
the party were escorted to "Fort Herron,"
the highest point within the city limits.
From this commanding eminence a most
delightful view of the city , and its eur
roundings is presented. The threerivers,
Allegheny city, a large portion of the
old city and the South Side boroughs can
be seen on the south and went, and to
the north-etyn lies Bloomfield, Shady
side and Eist Liberty, . Willie Belitield
`lies at the base ot the eastern side of the
hill. In all 'the villages last named,
which are. now portion of the city, a
spirit of progress is manifested.. Neat
and tasty cottages,- - inhabited and in
course of erection, may be seen by hun
dreds in every direction, through the
valley, while lIPOII almost every slight
eminence looms np a palett e l mansion,
the private residences of our capitalists.
So marked is the improvement, when
viewed from this point; that if continued
a few years the entire scope of country
between the hill andthe eastern city line
will present the appearance of a city.
THE CENTRAL, SAILYVAT.

, Mr. RellY, Chairman °lithe Coin
mittee on Resolutions,. submitted the fol
lowing report, which was unanimously
adopted:
b l ?eacqvcci4 By the teaehers of Public=
Imola of the Qty of Plttsburglry.asserzi
din yearly Ins titute. That we rejoice.
tat m e sures the improvement
teachers are- now. recognized danp of
ro
vided for in, this Commonwealth.. That
we hail this as smother recognitkut by
our Legislature of that great principle
laid down by the illustrious founder or
our State, viz.:- "That which 'makes
good constitution must keep it, namely
mete 14 wisdom and virtue, qualities
that, because they descend. not with a
worldly inheritance, must be carefully
nropagated by a virtuous educattniapf
youth."
` Resolved, That inasmuch as the
school teachers of thts city are paid year—
ly
urd salaries, the vacations including Sat
ays are paidt for as well as- the teach
ing time,
and it is, therefore, their duty
to attend such institutes as may be held
by the authority of the city Superintend
ent during vacation-for the benefit of the.
teachers, and that we request the Central
Board of Education to take , each action.
as will clearly define the duty of the
teachers hi this respect.
.ilesolveel. That we pretest against any
Act of Assembly whteh woraid - cancel
teacheisr certificates given as permanent,
believing such action to be &violation of
vested rights, degrading to the profession
of teaching, and,. therefore, unwise and
unjust.
P.solvec4 That in. Prof. Geo. J. Luckey,
oar City Superimendent, we recognize.
an honest and conscientious man, and
appreciating his efltirts to advance the
cause of Common School education, we
pledge him our honest co•operation to
sustain him, In all his efforts to elevate
the educational standard of our city
schools.
.
Rssolved., That in closing the exercises
of this Institute. we can truly say,
was good for us to be here." We have
been refreshed, strengthened and enoour--
