dItional testimony if desired, but he though,
| that sufficient had been adduced to show
that in his present condition it was impos-
sible for the accused to appear before his
honor. He would therefore make formal
motion that he be admitted to bail in such
manner as may subserve the ends of jus.
tiee and of humanity.
The commonwealth attorney, Mr.. Wise,
upon being asked by the Court if he de-
sired to say anything, stated that he had
no objections to offer to the motion. He
had long been satisfied of the unsettled
condition of Colonel Mayo's mind, but
that he had not mentioned the subject
other than privately, for the reason that un-
der the circumstances, his motives might
have been misconstrued. He had no
knowledge Of the intended arrest until it was
made, and had he been informed of it,
would have endeavored to prevent il, on
the ground of the mental condition of the
accused. He made this statement in JUS
tice to himself, as well as to Colonel Mayo.
At the conclusion of Mr. Wise's re-
marks, Justice White notified the counsel
that he would admit the prisoner to bail
in the sum of ten thousand dollars, to
appear before him on Wednesday, the
18th day of April next, whereupon
Messrs. John B. Davis, W. W. Crump,
R. II. Maury and X. Leigh Page became
his sureties.
Shortly after the adjournment of the
court Colonel Mayo was removed to his
residence.

LONDON, March 2S.-The annual race be.
tween the Oxford and Cambridge boa, crews
came off this morning on the usual course
on the Thames from Putney to Mortlake-
distance four miles and two furlongs-and.
as has been the case in the past four years,
resulted in victory for the Cambridge
boat, which came in two lengths ahead of
its rival. The weather was beautiful. and
more propitious day for the contest could
not have been selected. The crowd that
assembled to witness the race was unpre-
cedented. On the sunny side of the river
from Putney to Mortlake there
was one compact mass of people $50
feet wide, and at the latter place carriages
five deep stood in long rows. The Prln-
cess of Wales and Duchess of Edinburgh,
who were expected to be among the spec
tators, were absent. Upon the toss for
choice of positions Cambridge won and
selected the Middlesex or northern side.
The Oxford crew rowed into the stream at
one minute past II o'clock. Five minutes
later the Cambridge boat appeard and was
received with immense cheering by
its friends. The betting at this
time was five to two in
favor of Cambridge. All things being in
readiness, at fourteen minutes past IL
O'Clock the signal to start was given, and
the boats got away simultaneously. Cam.
bridge had the advantage from the first,
rowing at the rate of thirty-seven strokes
per minute, but both ere VS. pulled steadily.
After an exciting contest Cambridge
reached the slip at Mortlake at thirty
seven minutes and thirty. five seconds past
IL O'Clock, winning the race in twenty
three minutes and thirty-fve seconds.
The water, though not so smooth as would
have been desired. was fairly calm.
The coal miners of Staffordshire, to the
number of $4,000, have struck work.
