Lo
zenes, August 28.--The press gen
erally,: comment aklength on the race of
yesterday:`
; `The Tintea,' reviewing the contest, says:
• The inferiority of , the Americans was in
1 11 most pardonable point, the steering.
Theft: =swain undoubtedly lost g roun d , .
but -not enough to account for the dis
, gentle" between the boats et the endof the
,
race. Until the Americans retrieve their
_ _ .. ..... , ,
defeat, theymust acknowledgathat our
...style of ro w ing Is the best. The.Ameri
-
4!iihs Met with perfebtly fair.-play, . and If
the• Englishmen go to America they will
meet with Similar treatment. May all
, our ' future international struggles be
, , conducted in the-seme spirit, and which
.' ever aide wins may the vanquished have
as little reason to feel regret for their
defeat.
; The Reim declares the Harvards did
not command success, they deserved it,
and hopes Amelicut yachtmert on the
Atlantic may avenge the noble defeat of
; their'countrymen.
The Allaasays the Americans willitmg
remember the chivalric bearing of their
`opponents; who,- though reardved to win,
.... never forgot that the H' arvards were foe
men :worthy of their oars. • The strife
between New and Old England on the
river ' from which the Pilgrim fathers
. started, has a historic side, and appeals
I to the imagination of the youth of both
-; countries. ,If New England had won;
the older, country Would have shared in
; .;:`• . the triumph of its, descendants. The
fates decided: otherwise. We are sure
, t the Harvard: would sooner be beaten by
• us than by any other nation on the
globe.
'' The weather throughout England
continues fair and favorable for the
- gathering °Tampa;
i ; . The Americans here are perfectly setts
, fled with respect to the conduct' of the
race. The general impression is that
; . the Oxfords must now row the HarYards
on their own 'water next year.
• ' - The Telegraple ova the international
',. • boat race was It/gallant and good display
''-• '
of Manhood as was ever witnessed in
t
:- 1 the history of rowing. The Americans
i
have lost no honor. Good judges think
...-1 more highly of the Americans than they
, did before the race. The Americans
• hoped for a good race and they had it
1' fair and honest from the start to the
..„ (finish. •••
1 , -;, — ... - ,Thilt RAS I says the excitement in respect
to the race exceeded all expectatimr. ate
. ,
,; enthusiastic cheering of the Oxford crew
i was natural: . but before . and after the
.--.. ( race the. Americans received as hearty,
'1 thorough and well deserved cheers.
There could be no mistake in this.
Englishmen.: are so devoted to manly
• ; sports that they truly honor the pluck
and determination of sustaining such an
ordeal as was- witnessed yesterday. If
• the Engiish'rovi the Americans on their
• own waters, they will meet a similar re
, seption. ;The same blood animates both
nations and - such rivalry is only produc
tive of friendly feeling and tends to ban
ish sentiments that`never should be per
mitted tetween nations so nearly allied.
An thialleht the race may be of more im
-poitance than a mere trial of individual
( ekill, strength and endurance. The Post
:.estimates the tumberof people who wit
nessed the race at all points at fatly one
million.

has the following remarks on the race:

ble murder and aulolde were committed
in East EIL Longs this morning. A man

years ,old, by striking hini onAttss head
with a hatchet, but. the weapcm,glanced
and Nicholas escaped and ran for &police
man. When they returned they Bound
Mrs- Waltz lying o 1 the finer with her
head literally chopped to • pieces.
After committing the deed, Waltz
walked to the crossing of several' rail
road tracks, near by, on one of which a
coal train, was approaching. When-the
locomotive'and one carof- the trainA had
passed him; he threw back his coat,
opened his shirt collar and deliberately
flung himself across the rail between
two cars, and tie remainder of the train
passed over Ins neck, completely cutting
his head off. Waltz was* hard drinker
and drank a .pint of :whisky before
breakfast; he procured another, when •
his stepson remonstrated with him,
Which doubtless lead to:the assault,
though it was not made nails:ante hours
later.

the only labor it requires is' that of har" ?

done with a mowing raaehing, and the
last by means of the patent intuit cleaner.
The writer claims that as soon• as this
plant gets to be Jelly appreciated,,assoon
it will be,the 'empire of King Cotton
will pass away, and that truly regal and
wonderful plant, the ramie, will 'wield.
