OARED BOAT RACE.

RETROSPECT OANTICIPAF YORK AND EGIIAII
TIONS.
The York committee will perhaps now set their wits to
work in revising tlaeir most unintelligible programme, and
in altering their equally incomprehensible conditions. All,
too, who participated in the tedious amount of sport run
through on the Thursday, will echo the cry that in order to
maintain the success of the meeting it must be extended
to four days. Admiral Roue, in a letter to a
sporting contemporary, justly remarks, "some of
the York literary effusions require legal interpretation;"
and the truth of this statement was strikingly exemplfied in
the second North of England Biennial Stakes, wherein
Gildermire actually received weight from everything else,
because, although an extensive winner in 1857, the condi-
tions stipulated the allowance for "never having won in
1858," and notwithstanding that the York luminaries, when
they perceived their error, refused the allowance of weight
to Aldcroft at the scale, the stewards, upon being appealed
to, felt themselves compelled, according to the conditiona, to
deduct the 51b. The loose wording of the penalties for the Ebor
also led to much discussion, and had not the Roman Candle
been scratched, the sporting press would have been endlessly
bored by countless questions and the time of the stewards
occur ied by numerous disputes respecting the penalties he
had incurred. Again, the handicap should not be published
earlier than at the most a month before running, whereas
the weights for the Ehor appeared on the Ist July, and the
race was run on the 19th Aug. What has been the conse-
quence? The Roman Candle wins the Liverpool Cup and
the Goodwood Stakes, and thereby entirely spoils the bet-
ting upon his York engagement. In the hope that the evil
may next year be remedied, I proceed briefly to consider
the issues of the sport. The first rubber was won by the
Melton Stable with the aid of Cheery Chap, and the open-
ing day's sport was further remarkable for the admirable dis-
play of jockeyship by Sam Rogers upon the Argosy in the
Yorkshire Oaks. Vi'aiting with extraordinary patience until
the centre of the stand enclosure he literally stole the racefrom
his opponents, and landed the popular alderman's colours vic-
torious, amid an ovation that Yorkshiremen only know how
to deliver. The American horse Babylon scored his first
win in the Chesterfield, and Rainbow failed to give Caven-
dish the weight in the Convivial. Fisherman beat Ignora-
mus, who was as " fat as a bull," in a canter, and Mr. Parr
must now see his error in not starting either Kelpie
or Odd Trick, to make running for the " old horse"
in the Stewards' Plate at Stockbridge. Thursday's
sport, as already remarked, was tedious in the
extreme, although productive of some interesting in-
cidents. The opening event—the Lottery Plate—was
notable for one of those glaring cases of" roping" which is
calculated to bring the turf into disrepute with the public.
The stewards at once suspended J. Snowden from again
riding 'at York, and it would have been as well had they
carried their prohibition to extreme limits. I cannot, sir,
understand, however, why the boy should be punished and
the trainer only " reprimanded ;;.' for on the delinquent's
own declaration he merely " rode to orders." Rainbow
having carried off the Rawcliffe Produce Stakes, the Ebor
Handicap stood next on the card, and 13 out of the 18
coloured went to the post. The result, as everybody knows,
was never in doubt, the favourite, wit° came away at the
mid-distance, winning in the commonest of canters, tittle
Challoner alone considerately making a show of a finish
upon Tunstall Maid, for the gratification of the "Tykes,"
whose ovation at the success of the " spots" showed
that Lord Zetland has lost none of his popularity. The two-
year-old race which followed was won by Indifference, the
only animal in the race who seemed capable of moving in
the dirt, and Lord Chesterfield's good-looking son of Orlando
carried off the Prince of Wales's Stakes. Sir C. Monck,
with the aid of Gamester, won both the next two events,
and Mr. Merry's Terrona filly having placed the
Sapling to her owner's credit, I left Knaves-
mire amid a most drenching fall of rain. Friday's
racing was remarkable for the dead beat between
Rainbow and Cavendish in the Gimcrack; notable
also for a second display of Sam Rogers's skill ; but the d.
tiding beat told the tale of Cavendish's want of condition,
which, with the extra weight, compelled him to succumb to
his grey opponent. Gildermire repeated her performance (!)
in the Dee Stakes, by allowing Tunstall Maid to carry
off the Great Yorkshire, and Lord of the Manor
won the valuable Colt Sapling Stakes. The
future event betting calls for some notice. Toxophilite
received fresh support, and on Wednesday morning an offer
of 3,000 to 1,000 against him was eagerly snapped at. For
the Derby, Rainbow and Cavendish were brought to the
front list of quotations ; and Gamester, Volcano, Lord of
the Manor, and Malachite were also quietly nibbled at.
Egham commences to-morrow, and Mr. Edward Hibburd,
with his usual tact, has compiled an excellent programme.
Five races are set for each day. The Surrey and Middlesex
is the chief event, and should Relapse not be again stopped,
I see nothing to beat her, although Courier's pretensions are
worth consideration. King-at-Arms, with his slb allowance,
ought surely to win the King John Stakes, and the other
two-year-old race—the Barons' Stakes—looks well for Miss
Flatman or Press Forward. In the Runymede Stakes the
handicapper has dealt lightly with Brunswick and South
Western, one of which will furnish the winner. The other
races have yet to fill. I defer notice of Stockton, which
occupies Thursday and Friday, until my next communica-
tion

A FRESH MAN.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY v. TOWN-EIGHT-

This interesting and long-looked-for event, the source of
much training and preparation, came off on Wednesday last,
the 18th inst., and, as was expected, attracted hundreds of
spectators to the banks of the classic Cain. Among these
the townspeople, it being Long Vacation, somewhat predo-

initiated ; but there was a tolerable sprinkling of collegians.
two house-boats,with bands of music on board,conveyed a large
number of ladies and gentlemen to the scene; and tubs, out-

riggers, and beats of every structure and denomination fol-
lowed in the wake of the contending crews. The scene,
altogether, was one of the most exciting which the Cam
has witnessed for a length of time. Previous to the
commencement of the race it was discovered that the
stroke rowlock of the town boat was broken, and this cir-
cumstance caused no little vexation and complaint, the
betting being three to two in favour of the Town; but fortu-
nately suitable tools were forthcoming at the Plough, and
the matter being set straight, the desponding spirits of the
townsmen were again revived. The University having won
the toss, chose the second position, the distance between
the two boats being 100 yards. A splendid start was
effected ; and both crews at once put forth all their energy
and muscle, as if the struggle were one of life and death.
The University at first gained considerably up the Post
Reach ; but the Town, by dint of hard, steady rowing, gra-
dually got away again, and passed the Plough amidst loud
plaudits, with their opponents considerably in the rear. On
getting into the Long Reach, the University put on another
spurt, and victory for some time hovered mid-way between
the combatants. The excitement reached a tremendous
pitch ; both crews were loudly cheered by their respl,c-
live partisans, who were running, " like mad," along the
towing-path. For a brief space the University gained upon
their opponents on nearing the Willows, but the effort

- -
seemed to have exhausted them. To do them justice, how-
ever, day pat f ,rth all their remaining strength, but they
were not good enough to win; fur biter a ga:laut
which will long be remembered in the aquatic annals of Cam-
bridge, the race was for the second time won by the Town by
about 13 seconds. The University rowed in toe Coins boat,
and the Town in that of ihe Endeavour boat club. Both
heats were well steered, and the superb manipulation of Mr.
William Wisbey in tho Tuwn boat was particularly the
subject of encomium; to his skilful steering the success of
the race was chiefly owing. The following gentlemen con-
stituted the crews :

NOVEL ROWING INTATcu.—A grand sporting rowing
match came off ou the 18th instant, at half-pa.t five o'clock
p.m., on the Clyde, opposite Mr. Banks M'Neil's boat-
building establishment, Glasgow, betwixt two blind men in
one boat and two seeing sturdy young men in the other. The
length, from the starting-post to Rutherglen-bridge and back
was accomplished by the blind men, who came in before their
opponents about 200 yards, in 7 minutes 40 seconds. This
grand and long-expected match created much excitement
amongst the Greeu visitors and the spectators interested in
the match. Messrs. Banks M`Neil and Campbell afforded
the blind competitors every accommodation possible, beside s
giving every support and eclat' to the rowing match, in
order to please the numerous spectators assembled.

EMIGItATION —ln the 43 years, from 1815 to 1857
inclusive, there emigrated from the United Kitigdom
4,683,194. Of these 2,830,687 went to the United States,
1,170,342 to British North America, 613,615 to Australia
and New Zealand, and one-half to other places. Of the whole
emigration more than , viz., 2,444,802, emigrated
in the eight years from 1847 to 1854 inclu,ive. In 1855 and
1856 the emigration fell to 176,807 and 176,554 respectively,
principally in consequence of the demand for the army and
navy and the departments connected with them during the
Russian war, and is 1857 the numbers rose to 212,875.
A PECULIARITY IN THE WORKING OF THE
ATLANTIC TELEGRAPII.—There will be one peculiar h
fea-
ture in the working of the Atlantic telegraph to whic we
think sufficient attention has not even yet been drawn, not-
withstanding our own special allu,ion to it on a former
occasion—that is, the alternate transmission of positive
and negative electricity aloug the wire. Positive andiv nes ega-
•tive electricity are doubtless a 4 complete counteract to
each other's influence as are cold and beat. We have re-
peatedly pointed attention to the probability that positive
electricity is more analogous to cold, negative electricity
to heat. In noticing some time before this peculiar mode
of working the Atlantic telegraph was thought of the phe-
nomena exhibited by a small portion of the old submarine
wire removed front one of the British Channel lines,
which was exhibited at the Society et Atts, vi
pointed out the curious fact that, the copper wit:
was subdivided or cut, as it were, into small
morsels in the midst of the gotta perche, each morsel being
l
entirely
isepsoairoaeteooforodmenstihneg others,or hammering
proems had been both
and thickened at
en(i s,as f
effected on each separate piece. This we attributed.tive elec-
tricity to the
perpetual and uncounteracted operation of the p
upon the wire, our purpose being
to induceost consi-
deration as to how such disintegration should b
The alternate transmittal of the negative by turnse obviated.
positive was an obviou-ly probable way ofwith the
counteracting or
preventing such disintegration ,' and we
it will prevent it in the case of the Atlanticare persuaded that
that other advantages will be found to telegraph, and
flow from this mode
'of working the line. Yet we are nut
such advantage as that indicated has been

eels thought of in this
