LATER FROM THE BOAT RACE
New York, Aug. 28.- Smalley
telegraphs to the TribSne that the
morning opened bright and clear, the
absence Of the English drizzle ih'
creased the chances for the Harvards'
success. The crew passed a good
night, though this morning Simnons
showed signs Of weakness from a
severe attack of the diarrhoa, with
which he had suffered for several
days. Lorind had beer troubled by
a boil, which was far from well; but
most OF the crew was in splendid
condition and fully confident. When
the word was given the Harvards,
start came into play, for their oars
took water first, making forty. three
strokes per minute. The Oxfords
made forty for one mile and half
The race was splendid. The Harv-
ards soon ran away from the Ok
fords and kept the lead to Craven
Cottage, distance Of three>fourths
of mile. The Oxfords drew up to
level just beyound Hammersmith
Bridge. When off Cheswick, two
miles and a half from the start, they
gained the lead, after which they
rOwed as they liked. The Oxford
crew never changed stroke during
the race. The stroke of the Harv>
ards was irregulsT they lost from
about HammerSmith. When off Ches.
wick they rowed to the pier, and all
though they pulled to the end of the
hopeless race with magnificent pluck
and that long after their strength
and control over theiy muscles mad
failed, the superiority'of the Oxfords
was manifest throughout. The race
was never doubtful after the first
half mile, though the Harvards re i.
tanned the lead some time after that.
The Oxfords won by four lengths.
Time, 81 minutes and 303 seconds.
London, Aug. 2S The Judge
says the Harvards were only a halt
length clear water behind at the Mott
Lake with Mr. Phillips, who invited
a large party to meet them. During
the dinner Oxford's men in speeches
said the race, if not the hardest, was
at least as hard as any that ever was
contested, and praised the pluck and
work Oftthe Harvards.
