London, September 1.-The news
saws that when Dickens LETT on his last
visit to America he expressed hope
. that he might do service in the cause o,
peace and good will. Dickens h has not
res 1 resigned this peaceful mission Nothing
co.., could be in better taste and feeling than
q, hearty speech at the ban quet on
j nasa nl evening. His wide and init
mate knowledge Of his countrymen en-,
ahled him to express the admiration ana
astssm which the Harvard men have
won for themselves in England. We
hone there will be return match IN
!, a n,arica and feel confident that Oxford
nil meet as brotherly welcome there
az Harvard has here. We rejoice that
orr kinsmen are satisfied with the ar
ranpements of the race. We trust
/ that for all time there may DO no other
or less than a generous rivalry between
! the pride and flower of Old and New
England. >,
Transatlantic Cambridge has upheld
the honor Of her ancestral name in pat
riotic craftsmanship and intellect, and,
lastly, in dignity in defeat. 10 errors
of impetuosity and impotence rowing
authorities attribute the defeat. These
are the excess of qualities of an old
stoek-the temperament Of q peoples
youth. What may not an alliance OF
two such rivals do for the better future
of the world.
The Standard protests against the
annual recurrence Of the international
race. and thinks it hardly right to exact
such physical and pecuniary sacrifices
every year. By severe training the
Harvards won a position to entitle them
to come as challengers. A second trial
i would involve strain Of physique and
interruption of studies which it is not
fair to exact for the qualification OF RI
yalry and the sporting world.
s The Standard trusts the renewal OF
the contests will be firmly resisted for
ONE years.

j. the crime, regards it as national mis-
fortune. 1t shows that savage lawless-

limits to which it has hitherto been
q confused. The county of Mayo is now
