IVTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE.

PUTNEY, Tuesday.
The Ilarvard crew went out later to-day than yesterday
in their new boat, the outriggers cf which have have not
been altered as expected, and their positions were—

FA ye Simmons.
Lyman Loring.
Burnham (Cox.)
Against the hard ebb tide they rowed as far as Hammer-
smith in excellent swing and time, considering the difficulties
the lumpy water at times near]) throwing the oar out o
Simmon's hands in consequence of his holding it too
loosely; the boat suits them admirably, and the lift on her
improves ; in fact, they seem to be every day acquiring
the English style of rowing, and, if defeated, will have
learned sufficient to enable them to cope successfully with
the Lest American crews. The position,of the men in the
boat, we understand, will remain as above till the day.
The Oxford crew arrive to-morrow, and betting is still 2
to 1 on them.

At the Manchester Royal Agricultural Show
the art of carriage building was well exemplified. Con-
spicuous in the carriage
_department was Mr. Windover,
of Long-acre, who occupied the largest space, and ex-
celled in the number and variety of his elegent vehicles,
from 'which—so faultless were they in design and work-
manship—it is difficult to particularise any one as ex-
celling in merit, since whatever carriage utility demanded
or a capricious fancy coveted could have been selected
from his display. But as the reader may feel inte-
rested in their brief description, it may be mentioned
that a leading novelty was his patent automatic
landau, which can be opened or closed by a
lady from the inside without stopping the horses.
The Southern Brett phtoton, built with a removable
canopy for tropical use, is quite a marvel for its lightness
and graceful contour. The Paris prize medal waggonette
may be said to be three vehicles in one, being readily
convertible by simple mechanical action into a cart or a
close carriage. Its concealed folding steps, whereby a
lady can ascend therein from the front, and its patent
lever break, are great advantages, which must render this
unique vehicle a favourite with those who seek ease and
safety with luxuriousness in riding. There was also an
extraordinary light, yet roomy, circular front miniature
brougham with hickory wheels and steeli tors, weighing
less than seven cwt., well adapted for melical gentlemen.
Mr. Windover has obtained several prizes, and his Man-
chester display of vehicles must extend his reputation.—
Morniny Post.
Professor De Vere, a wizard of whom report
speaks very highly, but who has not yet appeared before
the public of the metropolis, although we understand he
has given several private seances before the Ito) al Family
and the nobility, is at present fulfilling a series of engage-
ments in the provinces. Ile introduces some rernarliably
astonishing illusions, which are reported as being quite
as mysterious as those of Mr. Home or the Brothers Da-
venport, only Professor Da Vero disclaims any connection
with the spiritual world, and honestly ascribes his perfor-
mances to fair prestidigitation. Wo understand the wizard
will shortly make a public appearance in Loudon, and we
wish him Lien venu.
