The International boat race is now the all-absorb
Ing topic Of conversation IN aquatic circles. There
but little to state in connection with the matter,
except to observe that according to recent advces
the oxford men are working vigorously while their
gallant opponents OF Harvard are not in the least
relaxing their efforts. The contest Will probably be
the most interesting that has ever taken place.
1t Is said that Quinsigamond Lake, Mass, has
assumed an additionally picturesque appearance re-
Gently from the boat practice by crews who purpose
to contend upon 1t during the coming season. NO
less than four crews are already at work. The
