declares that ''if the Harvard crew win the
race we will acknowledge that our notions about
our style of rowing are antiquated absurdi-
ties" and another says that 'if the Harvards
win after six weeks of exercise without doing
their best it will be an aquatic revolution. ="
1t may be a disadvantage for the Harvards
that their new oars are longer than those to
which they have been accustomed, inasmuch
as it requires more expenditure of strength to
multiply the strokes. The difference in weight
between the two crews-the Oxfords being
heavier by a few pounds than the Harvards-
is not 80 favorable to the former as 1t might
seem; for if the long stroke needs more
weight the short stroke needs less. The Har-
ward style of rowing requires dexterity and
force rather than weight. The appointment Of
Mr.. Thomas Hughes as referee for the race
gives great satisfaction on both sides of the
water aud is alone guarantee of fair play.
The author of ''Tom Brown at Rugby" is as
popular in America as in England.

THE EUROPEAN JOURNALS ON THE CUBAN
QUESTION. Almost all the leading English
journals have openly expressed the opinion
that Cuba is practically lost to Spain. Simi-
lar opinions have already been expressed in
France. La france, q government organ,

is lost to Spain. The wisest thing, therefore,
Spain can do 10 to take advantage Of tho

The International University Boat Race.
As the time approaches for the international
boat race between the crews of Harvard Uni
versity and Oxford University the excitement
in sporting circles increases. The daily and
weekly papers Of London give up much space
to the subject. 1t is manifest from their COM
ments that whatever may be the result Of the
race the American competitors have been
steadily gaining the respect Of their English
rivals and critics. At first the bets were
almost all largely against them, but now it Is
admitted that ''the race is likely to be Close"
and although one journal says that eff the
weather Is bad the result will probably be in
favor of Oxford" yet, it adds, ''if good the
Harvards will win." 1t is beginning to be
suspected that the Americans, during their
six weeks training exercises, have never put
out their whole strength, and it is not forgot
ten that at home they have made the fastest
time on record. Moreover, the question as to
the relative superiority of the modes respect
lively adopted by the two crews Of using the
oars is daily assuming increased importance.
If the Harvards win in spite of ''the nice,
slow English drizzle," which, it has been
somewhat inconsiderately predicted, will stake
the heart out of them"-it will establish the
superiority of their quick, short, strong and
nervous stroke over the long, sweeping stroke,
resembling the old man-ofwar rough water
stroke, employed by the Oxfords. The
ofiener the oar falls into the water with
pull the faster will the boat be
propelled. It is on this principle
that the blades Of the steamboat wheel have
been multiplied and placed six inches apart,
instead Of three feet, as formerly. 1t Is seen
that the Harvards start Off splendidly but
their opponents hope that they may not be
able to keep up their tremendous pace to the
end Of the course. II, however, they get the
better at the start they can economizc their
strength, and pull more or fewer strokes, ac-
cording to their advantage. They will need
only 10 keep the lead. One London journal
