THB BOAT RACK
'A London Correspondent" writes :—I mturt honestly
confess I ern disgusted with the remit of the race. 'very-
one expected a grand 'trunk, and it warns mere
aion of boats. Cambridge viadng in with a stroke or aloe'mun
ni and Oxford doing something like forty without any
efiect. We have not had such a lovely day for five years
on a similar occasion, and the number of people present
was something awful. I always think that this annual
contest is • much prettier sight than the Derby, as there is
more variety in it, and in fine weather the effect is
simply charming. " Now then, • good strong stead only
a shilling, which is as cheap asnothink considering the
price of 'butchers' meat." " Vere are you a driving to r
" What's that to you. drive you in a moment
" Vere to r "Why, out of your mind, that's where" This
is the style of conversation which you hear on every side
as. covered with dust, with Your het brushed the wrong
way, hot, uncomfortable and angry, you steadily elbow
through the crowd along the towing-path towards Berner,
bridge. The knowing ones always select this spot, as it
commands a longer reach than any other place. You can
see the boats for at least • mile, and at this point it
generally happens that the race is lost or won. I always
pity those unfortunate men who have to write • deacrip.
tion for the papers of the event, as if you haft witnessed
one you have seen all. They are as like each other as two
peas. This year, moreover, there was • singular abeam*
of chill, and "Tommy, make room for your uncle," had
to rover • multitude ef defects. There was some little
amusement caused when, as the inevitable Derby dog just
before the time for the start, three men in the Boylan life-
dross were seen racing down the mires, the light blue
champion being greeted with loud cheers on being declared
the winner, the crowd evidently taking it as a forecast of
what was to corns. But, with this exception, the proceed-
ings were undoubtedly tame, and had t not been for the
tact that a gentleman insisted on sitting on a Teri
slender branch of a tree immediately over my bead, I
should have felt the absence of excitement terribly. As
it wadi, however, the mere fact of counting the odds as to
whether if he fell he would kill himself. prove fatal to
me, or put both of tie out of misery, engrafted a sufficient
amount of my attention to make the time pan pretty
quickly, at least so far as I wee concerned. The race
over, the usual number of idiots in cockle-shall hosts
swarmed over the river, at the imminent risk of being up-
set by the wash of the dimmers. One duffer, who to all
outward appearance had never used • par of sculls in
his life before, had the audacity to take • girl in a boat, and
managed with wonderful adroitness to place it as near the
paddle-wheel of • steamer as poedble. It half filled with
water, and the young lady was frightened out of her life.
Fortunately, however, another boat, manned by be-
longing to some training ship, was close at and one
of thine y standing on the bow, put arms
round the fair lifted her into the beet, and than
rowed off with her midst the cheers of the crowd—her
young man being deservedly* eft to his fate, which, if that
fair one km any seam will be a " deed cut" the next time
she meets him.

THN Duke of Edinburgh will make one more
appearance at the Albert-hall before finally taking his
departure from England on his long cruise an the
Sultan. Almost the last time his Royal Highness
visited the hall he met with an accident, which, how-
ever none of the papers noticed. As the Duke was
getting out of his carriage his foot slipped, and, the
.set suddenly moving on, he was thrown heavily to
the ground. He fell on his face, and was carried into
the hall covered with mud, but otherwise not much the
worse.
