LONDON, August 26.-The Posi-, in
in its comments on the coming boat
race, expects the Oxfords to win, but
considers that their failure to do so
will be no disgrace to the Harvards,
who will have the fairest Of fair play,
and where physique and endurance
are so equally matched, the best style
must win.
{ The excitement IN regard to the
race continues TO grow, and the merits
Of the crews form the general topic of
4 conversation. The arrangements to
I preserve order and keep the course
clear, are regarded with great salts
faction. The general feeling among
sporting reporters is that the race will
be the most spirited and we'll contest
ed. There is still little betting at
odds of two to one on the Oxford.

LONDON, Aug. 26.-The Times, re-
ferring to the condition of the Brit
ish colonies, says that Cauada IS, 10

The Star, Ia an article on thc rejec-
ton of the American treaty by China,
shows that the treaty secured sub
stautantial advantages for the Chi
nesc, while America disclaimed any
interference with the internal admin
istration. 1t cannot be supposed that
the Pekin Government is dissatisfied
with the Convention, but the weak gov
ernment should yield to the pressure
of Minister Burlingame's enemies,
who represent it. That the Conven
ton is at variance with the traditions
is not surprising. 1t now remains to
be seen whether Burliugame or Mr.
Browne reflects the mind and purpose
Of President Grant.
The Standard thinks the Chinese,
ia refusing TO endorse the agreement,
shows that they are not animated by
the principles which Mr.. BurIingame
declares they possessed, and hopes it
will lead him to abandon functions
which secure neither honor for him
self nor benefit for the world at large.
