The international Yacht Race.

The International Yacht Race.
Bg the Anglo-A BIericda Cable
LONDON, Aug 21.-The Morning Post has an
editorial to-day on the coming international
yacht race, and says:-"In light wind and on
smooth water there are several English yachts
that may be relied upon to beat Mr.. Benefits
yacht Dauntless at every point. The result of
the recent race to Cherbourg aud return rs
test, was marred by an accident to the Dauut-
lefs. The impression among yachtsmen is, thai
she does not stand to her canvas, and canno
compete successfully in heavy any more than
she can in light weather; but, in going free, she
probably would sail us fast or faster than on
deep vessels. A yacht race around the Azor
Islands offers a farer chance to test the quail
ties of all vessels. If the Americans will not
sail around the Isle of Wight or Ireland, or on
a short home course, rather than forego a trial
let us race around the Azores"
Harvard and Oxford.
AS the time for the international boat race be-
tween the Harvard and Oxford crews draws
nigh, the excitement in sporting circles in
creases. Much of the space in the newspapers
is given up to this subject.
The following extracts made from to-day's
Journalist
From the Land and Water:-The balance
seems to favor the Oxford crew. If the Ameri-
cans win we will not only learn their new style
of rowing, but how to maintain it. If the Har-
Ding their best at any time it will be an aquatic
Eolution.
Nrom the Saturday ReUie1C:-We do not at
taN any importance to the time made in train
lhA If the Harvard crew win the race, we will
Knowledge that our notions about our style of
AZ are antiquated absurdities
NaRs<s0m the SpectdtOr:-The opinions is in re-
spect to the crews and in regard to the chances
of victory are nearly even. The public are in
quiring if the Americans have ever put out their
whole strength The course is n hard one, but
the race is likely to be close. If the weather is
bad the result will probably be in favor of Ok
ford. If good the Harvards will win nice,
slow English drizzle is the thing to take the
heart out of the Americans Regulations have
been issued to keep the course clear for two
hours before, and until the race is ended.
