with the Democrats. Towns that never
before sent Democrat to the State-house

The Number Of Type in a Newspaper.

The Poughkeepsie Eagle, in an arti-
Gle on chow mistakes happen in New
papers" figures up the number of type
used in a newspaper the size of the Ea-
gle at 100000, i. e., the actual number
of bits of metal arranged and re-arrang-
ed every day in preparing a newspaper
of that size for the press. We suppose
few people think of the printing trade
as one of the most exact and particular
of all the handicrafts, but it is. In
making type, variations that might be
allowed in the finest machinery would
render the type useless. 1t is very rare
ly hat type furnished by two separate
founderies can be used together without
a great deal of trouble, though they try
to make it after the same standard. We
read once in while of a great piece of
cabinet work or mosaic work, contain
ing ten, twenty or fifty thousand pieces,
the maker of which has spent months,
or even years of labor in producing it,
and people go to see it as great curl
osity; but the most elaborate aud care
fully fitted piece of work of this kind
ever made does not compare with that
which the printer does every day, for
minuteness of detail and accuracy of
fitting. The man who does the first is
| looked upon as an artist-a marvel OF
skill, and if a hundred of his pieces are
put in wrong side up, or turned the
wrong way, it is not observed in the
general effect-but if the printer, in fit
ting ten times as many pieces together in
a single day, puts one where another
should be, or turns one the wrong way,
everybody sees it, and is amazed at the
stupid carelessness of those printers"

time After q basty consultation, at when
several of the captains were not present, IL
was decided to fix the time for O'Clock tomorrow
afternoon, and the steamboats, fastened away to
give the news to the inpatient host Mt the upper
end OF the course When the matter was discussed
among the captains, after the departure OF the
referee, it was found that several OF
them were urgent to have the race III the
morning, if the water should be tolerably smooth.
Capt, Eusis of Wesleyan was most earnest in favor
of his plan, and was warmly supported by Capt.
Res of Columbia. They said that their men
were extremely anxious to have the race
over as soon as possible, and get
through with tho long strain OF training.
The Princeton Captain, Smith, agreed with Eustis
and Reese and Dartmouth also favored an early hour
he other crews not so united III sentiment,
but were not Jealous for afternoon rather than
morning contest. Eustis and Reese were so earnest
for the race to take place as soon as possible
that they agreed upon an effort among the
captains who they say had the right to settle the
matter to have the hour changed from afternoon 20
morning. Princeton conceded in this plan, Capt.
Goodwin arguing in favor of an afternoon race; that
all the training of the crews had been done with
view to race in the afternoon, and they could not
row SO well in the morning
The Weseyans, the hardest of the crews. rowed
their boat back TO their house but the Harvard,
Cornell Princeton, and Trinity left their shells Tor
the night at the Columbia House, not caring to ex-
pose them to risk of injury, to bring discomfort
upon themselves by taking to the troubled waters OF
the lake. Most Of the members of these crews
got back TO their quarters in very light rowing
costume by means of the steamboats,, the Dartmouth
house being near that of Columbia. The Dartmouth
crew was represented at the consultation of the
captains, although their boat was not taken out.

Many kind and encouraging words did she receive
at Congress Hall to-day. A good she most GER
tainly has, and many sporting men from New-lork
who arrived early this morning were talking lively
in her favor though they apparently had had no OPP
portunity to judge the merits and dement's of the
other crews. Yale and Harvard however, appeared
TO be the favorites. Knots of men from other col
leges discussing the probabilities invariably took
sides with Harvard OF Yale. While there were more
blue colors on pretty women and blue badges on
handsome men. there were many whispers and
knowing mods from Harvard men which showed on
which crew they would stake their money If they
were betting men; still the Yale men had
many hackers. and were confident of victory
Capt. Cook said last night to friend
Il am not much afraid of Harvard
as was last year. but those Wesleyan boys make
a splendid crew." SO while many of the Yale hackers
at the hotels were little too sangune over the re-
suit the Captain realized that a hard battle was to
be fought before the blue could be victorious. One
Harvard man last night offered to bet $500 even
against Yale, but no one would take him up.

Frank Lesie's villa to the center OF the Drluse
across the north end of the lake-the nine UhiVoi-
sty crews which enter are pretty well known mum

and one from New-Jersey-al have been IN steady
training since the opening of the rivers, ana al
have been at work at the lake for several weeks
past They have not been altogether free from SICK
ness. but the milder theory of training which has
been generally followed has made the illness much
less than it usually is during the precarous period
of training, and all the crews so lar
as known. will enter in splendid condl-
ton. As to probabilities, wellnformed per-
sons are competent to judge for themselves.
All the crews have been improving rapidly IN the
last few days, and some among whom COrnoll anu
Williams may be included, are liable to surprise
their friends. Columbia is reported to have maze
excellent time but Harvard and Yale are the lead
ing favorites. The Wesleyans, who are rather an
oddity. camc next. 1t is to be hoped the race VIII
