THE HARVARD AND OXFORD CREW.

1t is of importance to consider in what sense tLe race represented the two nations. The two crews were certainly the best pro- ducts of their respective universities in physique and skill; and the two universities are severally the ripest products of. Old and New England As we have reached 2 phase of culture when good men, instead of being like Proclus and the ascetics, 's ashamed of their bodies" ]" believe with Paul that their reasonable sacrifice toi God is a living and vigorous, and not a: dead or half dead body, we cannot be insensible to the changes which ethnologists have been for some time past thinking they can per- ceiye in the Englishman transplanted to America. That certain differences from the Anglo Saxon stock have supervened in New England, is not mere notion of John Bull Dr.. Palfrey, the careful historian of New England, had probably consulted the best men of science in Massachusetts be- fore he wrote: "T The full and forid hab- it, the moist skin, curly hair, and sanguine temperament SO general in Great Britain, is in New England replaced by slender form, dry skin, straight hair. and bilious or nervous temperament" 1.-The very names of the American crew are enough to show to what stock they; belong, and the Oxonians are without exception of old En- glish families. i And although such differ ences as those indicated by Dr. Palfrey, are not so likely to show themselves tothe greatest extent in early youth, no one could look upon the two crews as they came ont for their start, without recognizing the difference between the 1.-the, fibrous frames of the Americans, in which every muscle q, oxuod its lima anH the rounded fogtilari- ty of shape and limb presented by the OK onians. Not. only the difference in the ret pectiye weights of the respective crews, but their whole physical impression. was calculated to recall the observation of En- erson: {" They are bigger men than the Americans; I suppose Q hundred English taken out of the street would weigh a four sh more than so many Americans. Yet, I ara told, Me skeleton $ nOt larger. Ea1 sd
 Now it is undeniable, that to some ex- tent, the relative physique of the young man in Old and in New England was in volved in the late contest: and it is certain

 Among our city items is the late dedica. tion of St. Ann's church. This is a mag 'nifcent building capable of holding three thousand persons. The design is beauti. full and the details of construction elegant ly carried out. Stained glass, fine music, and the paraphanalia of the Episcopal ser vice are found here in an impressive form. Whatever the persuasion of the visitor the place will be of interest. e =
 The unveiling of the Lincoln monument adds another attraction to the city. This work of art stands at the entrance of Pros pect Park, the new public pleasure ground after the style of Central Park. Back of it a large fouatain is being constructed. In front is an extensive view of the two great cities, with their suburbs, the harbor and adjacent waters. Lincoln is represented with uncovered head, pointing with the fore-fnger of the right hand to the Eman- cipation Proclamation in the left. He is in citizens dress, with long cloak thrown back from the shoulders. q The base is of Scotch granite, high ly polished and orna- mented on one side with a wreath enciro- ling the letters U. s. N., and on the oppo- site the same pattern with the letters U. S. A. The back has. an eagle with one claw holdinga a shield, and the front an ca gle trampiing on a broken shackle. The figure and ornaments are of bronze. The height is about twenty five feet Its beau tiful location adds much to the magnif- cense of it's appearance. It is no light praise to say thai the statue is worthy such 3 subject and such surroundings. a:ia !.
 Our young lady friends should be here just now for wedding sensations. They could find plenty of such ceremonies to at tend, and very likely might take a leading part. Everybody seems to be getting mar ried, if only to be in the fashion. Princi- pal requisite, however, is plenty of money.
