NEw YoRK, August 26.-George N.
Smalley t~elegraphs to the Tribune FROM
London 81 saw the Harvard crew last
night for the first time after two weeks
absence, aud was delighted to observe
q marked improvement in their style
and pace. Both crews made to-day the
last row over the whole course which
will take place before the race. A diff
ference Of Is seconds is reported in favor
of the 0xfords, but it is not trustworthy,
tho OIfords having taken back their
start in order to get good Roadway.
Both crews exhibit great power. The
style of the 0xfords is unquestionably
tho better of the two. Their pace is
extraordinary. Tho Harvards are in
superb condition and perfectly confident.
The rowing Of the Americans is far from
faultless, but their boat goes along well
and their prospects are decidedly prom
Using. 1t is not at all unlikely that the
race will be q very close one. The
Harvard men aro determined to use
their new boat, built by Elliott, which
carries them better aud makes greater
speed than any other they have tried.
No trouble Of any kind is feared, bu,
every ]presaution has been taken against
foul play. A strong guard is kept con.
stantly over the boats. The Harvard
crew has spent the last two nights q,
the Sturgis House. They wish me TO
contradict the English statement that
they have adopted the English style.
All the crew say they pull the same
stroke as last year, but for all that they
show o decided improvement. There
seems to have been q little trouble about
the referee. Oxford wanted to change,
but Harvard, I am glad to say, very
properly sticks 10 Thomas Hughes. In
consequence Of this, Mr.. Chilly refuses
to act rs umpire, not wishing 10 serve
under Hughes. The probability is that
there will be no umpire at all, but
Hughes will be selected as sole referee.
This is the best arrangement, by all
odds, that could DO made. Everything
is done 10 assure O clear course"
