The Pacific RaflrOad--A Birds Eye
.ntt. .tr View of IL.

From the Baltimore Bun, Msy lst.I
We have received copies Of the last re-
port, Us late as March 9th, made by any
Government Director Of the Union Pa
ci6c Railroad. 1t is that of Mr. Chan
cey II. Snow, of Washington, civil en-
gineer, and formerly connected with the
Baltimore, Wilmington and Philadelphia
railroad, aud who assisted in making the
early surveys for the great bridge Of that
company across the Susquehanna, Mr..
Snow went over the line of the Union Pa
cific railroad since January last, making
a practical examination OF it, and his re-
port sufficiently confirms all the allega-
tions which have been made heretofore
of its incomplete and badly constructed
condition, showing hurried, unsubstan-
tial, unsafe and unlawful laying of track,
without proper grades, ballasting, EN-
baukments, bridges, etc, besides length;
ening out Of the line With the view of
drawing, at the rate fixed per mile, more
bonds from the Government than the
straighter route would afford. 1t is q
fact, which no one doubts, and Mr.. Snow
believes no one denies, that the persons
who have had the superintendence and
management Of the construction Of the
Union Pacific railroad are the persons
who have been and are the contractors
for its construction. The /" Credit Mo
bilier" does the work and receiver the
money. Aud what is the Credit Mo-

Why the HARVARD Lost.

The result Of the paddle match that
took plac; Monday, forclbly illustrates
the necessity of the injunction, keep
cool, In every contest Of hunan BRAIN
or muscle Because the Oxford needed
1t they won the race, and because the
Haryurds did not they lost it. 1t is APP
parant now to every one that IN all the
substantial elements OF success the Har-
wards are the superior crew, but they
failed BY not having their resources I'M
der proper control, that is dlsci pllne-not
of muscle, but of nerve. The HarTards
on the start put forth all their strength,
all the end Of the first mile were two
lengths in advance. making torty-three
stokes to the OytoriS 80. At this point
their strength began to wane and their
pace to lag Meantime the Oztords, hike
4 we'll trained racer, were pulling leisure
" along, content 70 see their opponents
win In the first half, well knowing that
they were cThau5tias themselves. ut two
miles the boats were even, when the Ok
fords slightly increased their stroke and
shot ahea |. This was crisis IN the game.
The Harvards wearied with over exer-
ton became excited, lost their balance,
and from that moment the race was viz
tually decided. The remainder of the
course was rowed over with Tagging
strength on the part Of the Harvards,
and increasing vigor on the part of the
Oxfords The former showed themselves
fully equal in muscular skill, but inferior
In nerve discipline. We have now not
the least doubt that had the HarvardS
husbanded their strength on the start,
aud kept cool, the result would have
been different.
1t is some consolation to think that had
1the distance been one and one-elghth
miles, our boys would have won by t,cd
lengths, which would have been better
victory than four lengths In four and one
quarter miles. The final result shows
how victory. pushed to an extreme, often
becomes defeat. The Harvards acquit
ted themselves gloriously on the start
but failed on the stopping. There Is nc
secret of success like quitting when one
credit is good aud since we can deprive
no other comfort from it, let us point {
moral with the result. Politicians ano
other racers after notoriety might learn
lesson from it, if they would but hav
ing won the first heat, they push on fol
the four mile stake, and lose.
Reports to-day say the Harvards were
not In perfect condition, as Loring had 6
boil and Summons had diarrhea. The
trouble was, the whole crew was boil
ing with excitement, and so much
frightened, lest they should fail, that i,
is no wonder some of them had the diar
