TIME MADE IN FORMER RACES.
A TELRGRAPHIC FEAT.

The Oxford boat arrived at the ship at Mortake at
o'clock, 81 minutes and AZ seconds The news OF
the victory was received by means of the English
Cable at the Associated Press Office in this city at
o'clock and minutes-just % minutes and 10 seconds
afterward. The messenger was obliged to carry the
dispatch three-quarters Of mile on horseback 10 the
nearest telegraph station at MOrtlake.
THE CLOSING COMMENTS OF THE LONDON PRESS.
The newspapers to-day publish their closing COM
ments the boat race which occurs this afternoon
at o'clock The Telegraph euogizes the Elliott boat
light, fast and graceful 1t travels well and suits
the crew. We do not expect The Telegraph says,
that the Haryards can win the race. but the
changes made by them bring the crews more on q
level. On the whole, we think it will be capital
race. The Oxfords will defeat their gallant adver
sares without difficulty IL otherwise, the Harvards
must have an ovation, TO show that we are not
ashamed TO be beaten by our excellent cousins"
The Star says: The Americans are individually
more powerful than the Oxfords, but IL is thought
their training is not according to the English no.
tons of strctness."
The Daily Neus says: above all things,
anxious that the contest shall be sharp from the first
TO the last that the victory, whether side or
the other. shall be hard to win TO cover the
winners and losers alike with glory. To PREJUDICE
the issue would DO mpertnent in the last degree"
The writer then takes the opportunity TO acknowl-
edge to the full extent the obvious and inevitable dis
advantage the Harvards have contended against lie
says: The rivers and everything were strange and
unfamiliar; aud masters they of the science
of rowing they had TO study it almost like the alpha
bet of foreign language. The Oxfords on the
Charles River would labor under similar disadvan-
tages All that be said is, they add grace to
victory and dignity to defeat"
The general impression is that it will be great
race to IIammersmth 1.-TWO miles,. The bridge at
Putney has been completely barred and no boats,
except those of the umpire and the press will be al
lowed 10 pass.

LONDON, Friday, Aug. az,

LONDON, Friday, Aug. 81, Is6s-Eoon.
The morning opened bright and clear and the alb
sence of the English drizzle increased the chances
of Harvards success. The crew passed good night,
though this morning Mr. Simmonds showed weak
ness from the severe attack of darrhea with which
he has suffered for several days. Loring too, has
been troubled with boil, which is far from well,
and were full of confidence.
The race was set down for o'clock, but before
noon the crowds began to line the banks OF the
Thames, and for hours before the start the roads
were crowded with vehicles of every description
and business was neglected.
Harvard won the choice of position and took the
Middlesex side, or outside Of the semi-crce. When
the word was given Harvards noted start
came into play for their oars took the
water first, making 43 strokes to the minute.
The Oxfords made only 40. For mile and
o half the race was splendid. Harvard soon
drew away from Oxford, and kept the lead to
Craven Cottage distance of hree-quarters of mile.
Oxford drew up level just beyond Hammersmith
Bridge, and when off Chiswick, two miles
and half from the start, gained the lead aud
after that they wo2 as they liked. The Oxford crew
never changed their stroke during the race.
The stroke of Harvard was irregular; they
lost form wholly above Hammersmith, aud when of
Chiswick were rowed to pieces, though they pulled
to the end of hopeless with magnificent pluck.
and that long after their strength and control over
their muscles had failed. For the last two miles
they had pluck" and that only. tho oosswain
steering wide and the stroke being fatally quick.
The superiority of Oxford manifest throughout the
race, was never doubtful after the first half mile,
though Harvard retained the lead some time after
that point Oxford by four lengths. Time,
