Hartford, Oct. s.-Democratic outrages
upon Republican professions and meetings

Hawley's New Britain meeting last Friday
evening the Boys in Blue were stoned,
and the color beaver was struck nine times.
The following evening Republican pro-
cession in this city was attacked with mis-
silee of various kinds. AtPoquonnock, last
night, stones were thrown at Republican
procession by Democrats along the line of
march. AT Souah Manchester; alao last
night, the Democrats went further and
committed a felony by stealing a horse
which wss left near the hall by a Republi-
can, and Your harnesses we're cut to pieces
by members of the law and order" party
AS these thirgs are occurring nightly in

inter University boat race on the Thames be-
tween Oxford and Cambridge is magnificent.
The su1 Shines brig htly aud warm, the sky is

of the finest American May days. Since early
this forenoon unprecedented crowds have been
fockipg from every direction, and by every
means of conveyance, to all points on the river
from which view OF the course can be had.
The start will take place between 100 and las
this afternoon from two lighters m3ored of the
Star and Garter, one turoug above the Aque.
duct bridge. An ear y start is necessary tor
the four steamers accompanying he boats, ooe
for the mpire, Que for the members OF the
press and one for each University, to clear
Hammersmith bridge, 10 the event of the OK
pected high tide making. With the exception
Of the four steamers mentioned above, all traffic
on the river is suspended. Putney bridge, over
!ur!ong below tine slartlug point, was blocked
an hour AID half before the time for the star,
but rowing craft were permitted to pass through
the side arches A chart Of the course has been
published by the Thames Conservancy, and
