FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE BOAT RACE.

Soon after the start an old tug, known as the
"Thomas," ran foul of :" Citizen L " and was capsized.
One man unfortunately was drowned, and it is a wonder a
number of others were not also drowned, as these little
tugs ran into and under all sorts of craft in the river

The Oxford and Cambridge boat race has a very
melancholy end this year ; Mt. Mellor, the original No. 7
of the Cambridge crew, died this morning.
A General Press Despatch says— Tile Inau-
guration Ball Committee have engaged the bands of the
Marine corps, Annapolis Naval Academy, and the 12th
and 4lth regiments, numbering in all 120 pieces. The
tickets of admission have just been issued. The one ad.
mitting ladies measures seven by •ten inches. In the
centre is a bust of Grant, laurel-crowned, with his motto
in rays of light behind his head ; at the foot of the bust are
sprigs of oak and laurel, and American flags on each side.
On the right is Peace, with her pahn branch and wings strew-
ing the earth with blessings; returning Commerce repre-
sented by a ship under full sail; and at her feet the plough,
and other symbols of Agriculture, covering up the effects of
the strife, represented by a deserted gun half lost in the
growth. At the opposite side is Columbia, severe and
assured, with the cap of Liberty and the horn of Plenty.
In the distance, the Capitol, arched by the how of promise
in token of better times. The committee have extended
invitations to all the Ministers of Foreign Legations, who,
it is expected, will attend in court costume. These, with
those sent to the President and Vice-Pre ident elect, and
their families, are all the invitations the committee intend
to issue. The demand for tickets is very great, and the
indications are an unusually large and brilliant assem-
blage."
