THE HARVARD AND OXFORD CREWS.

LONDON. Aug. 1.-THE Harvard and Oxford crews
are out every day for practice. For the past few
days the tide between Putney and Mortlake has
been bad, and the rowing could only DO done early
in themornng or late at night. Good judges say
the Oxonians are faultless-past comment" The
Harvard crew are much improved, and are rapidly
working into the English style. They display great
strength and their pace against the reverse tide Is
rapid. The question is generally asked, Can they
hold out at the terrific pace with which they startT
The betting to-day is five to two on Oxford Yester-
day it was three to one. The Harvard and Oxford
crews both rowed from Mortake to Putney to-day.
The former made from So TO 50 strokes per minute.
They had heavy weather part of the way.

The Trotting Horse Of america
-Ho,U to train and drige

the Trotting Tayf. BY Hiram
Woodruff. New York ; J. B.
Ford & Co. So %.
The "trotting horse" is pecu-
liary American. 1t is true there
is in Russia a race of horses
known as the Orloff trotters; as
yet, however, they are but par
TALLY developed. But in the
United States the "trotting
horse" has been brought to
such perfection as to create as
tOnishment and admiration the
world over. Indeed the inter-
est taken in this kind of stock
is so great that these horses
have become a very material
item of national wealth. With
the moral aspects of racing, it
is not our purpose here to deal.
1t is sufficient to know that the
trotting horse is universally
popular, and has become of
vast Importance both for do
nestle use and commercial
value. No man, probably, has
done sosmuch to develop the
trotting horse as the author of
this book. He was identified
with this class of animals for
more than forty years, trained
the most renowned trotters vet
produced, and his observation
and experience, in addition to
his sound practical judgment,
gives to this volume especial
value. The book was written
at the suggestion of Robert
Bonner, ESQ.,, whose ambition
to make the New York Ledger
the leading paper of its class in
America, is not more keen than
to possess the fastest trotters
in the world. His persuasions
were successful. Woodruff I'M
dertook the work and accom-
plished it successfully. 1t is
conceived with admirable judg-
