THE UNIVERSITY RACE.
The crews which participated in this race, the
conclusion OF which had 70 sstoniEhed every
body, were called soon after the Freshmen df~-
appeared, but IL was after when they started.
me Amherst men wore white pants and white
caps; the Haryards az in the race OF "Wednesday
with the Atalantas, with the addition OF magenta
kerehieis, and the Browns appeared I'M brown.
Ihe Amherts excited but little notice compare
lively, IN the crowd about the boat-houSe. and
odds we're freely offered for the Harvar,ls. The
BrONns. too, had many enthusiastic friendS. The
BROWNS took the water first, and led the Harvards
Tor about three-quarters OF mile Then the lat
ter put more in the work and slowly crawled mn
ID thelr opponents, gaining more and more each
second, until they came up abreast. Then for
a mile, there was one OF the prettiest neck
anu-neck races ever seen. At length tie
Harvards crept an inch 80 ahead. Then a
little more and further again, until when ON tie
last mile or so, they showed several lengths OF
Gear water. During this time the Amherst
Agriculturals were putting I'm pOnderous strokes
W hen the Harvards and Brown were neck and
neck they were pulling at the rate OF half mile
mile out they took the lead, and when they ap-
pearedin sight TO those at the end OF the course
they seemed 20 be a dozen lengths ahead OF the
other two. The excitement at this moment was
Intense. IL was first thought that the leading
crew were the Harvards, and " Hin her up Har-
wards" /" Tuck il 20 'em, Reedy," were franti-
cally yelled by the wearers OF the magenta; hut
suddenly somebody discovered the mistake of the
Harvard men, and hIs shout, Why, its the
Amhersts, by King, brought out such surprised
and frantic yellS OF" Amherst. - " Oh, Amherst
=. Go IL Aggys," &c, that il was impossible for
the sOberest TO keep cool. The Amhersts came
bounding on and passed the stake boat with such
a poweIim pull toTty-two stroke-that they
beyond. ltwas found that their time was 17.s5 q
better than anything ever made, save once by
the lales in lstA The Haryards we're forty
three seconds behind the Amhersts, and tie
Browns nineteen behind Harvards.
Az APACHE Girls REvENGE on A PERrrp1-
OTIS IoNER.-A singular case Of Jealousy. which
recently occurred in Western Texas, g. given IA
the RI PasO Herald. Ii seems that a Young man
named ChandoS, a native OF Rochester. la Eng
land, had made love Ia a beautiful half-breed
eirl, sixteen years Of age. The girl was lalT
Apache and half French. Ia addition 10 her
eroat beauty, she intelligent, viyacious
and az active and alert as an antelope She
was gentle and afiCctionate, and no one sus-
pected her Of possessing those terrific pas
sions which jealousy subsequently aroused in
her boom. The English lover unfortunately
became acquainted with a white giIf.
named Wilson, who was on a visit from a
southern State 10 her friends in Western Texas.
Miss Wilson was beautiful and accomplished,
and her civilized graces proved more than a
match Tor the baTbarOus attractions OF the
Apache gin. The result was that ChandOs de-
serted the beautiful half-breed and became en-
gagged TO Miss Wilson. The wedding-dav was
set. On hearing of the faithlessness of her lover
the hitherto undevelOpcd instincts OF Apache
blood were reused 20 all their savage fury in the
breast Of the untutOred belle OF the forest. Arm
ing herself with revolver, she went 20 the resi-
dence OF her lover, crept softly 90 his room. and
shot him through the heart a. he was writing a
note TO his betrothed. She was arrested a few
hours afterward, and confined for the night In am
old log cabin in default of a prison. But her
friends rescued her, and she fed 90 the wilder
ness, there 20 take up her abode with her moth
ers Wild kindred.
