The friends of Hayes nnd Wheeler ought to

TIE CENTENNIAL REGATTA.

The Centennial Regatta which commenced
yesterday with the amateur races bids fair to
be the greatest aquatic event of the century
whose close it signalizcs. Its peculiar interest
will he due to the fact that crews of British
gentlemen will meet American oarsmen on
their own waters for the first time, aud, as
good judges believe, will meet them for a Sc
we're contest, in which the winners will have
no easy triumph. IL is true that III lSGS, on
the Thames, when English and American col
lege crews met for the first and last time,
Oxford defeated our Harvard four with ease !;
but it il also true that III this centennial year
Yale under Cook. easily defeated a
Harvard crew quite rs good IA that OF 1868,
and coached by the same man and on the same
principles, circumstance which proves that
rowing has advanced somewhat in the United
States in the past eight years, and that Amer
lean oarsmen are much nearer Englisimen in
pont of science now than they were then.
Whether this advance has made them equal 10
English oarsmcn, this Centennial struggle will
20 FAR to determine
But science alone will not give our boys vic
tory over the heroes of the Isis, the Litlcy, and
the Thames. The race is often to the strong,
and on this point, too, England has been held
superior to America. Ii has been said and
sung over and over that it WAS impossible
for us in this country to show rs strong
and stalwat young men as those OF
England; that athletic sports, boating to wit,
and horsemanship and ball playing, which,
with our young men, have been only revived
during the past decade, have formed part OF
the life of every wcll-bred English boy from
his early school-days till he graduated at the
University and chat, therefore, the raw row.

II is undeniabIe that the military prestige OF
Turkey has been greatly increased by the sue
cess of her armies over the Scryians. Inc SOL
derly genius of Osman and EyOub Pashas Is as
conspicuous as the absence of it IN Tchcrnay-
eff and Lcschjanin. The Scryians still resist
with the courage of desperation; yet al the
chances are against them. We are even iorced
TO doubt whether they can possibly pfoiohS
the collapse of their resistance until the iacu-
tious strength OF Turkey is undermined IN
other quarters. Roumania. Albania, Greece
and Crete are like hounds i'll the leash: MO-
rocco refuses tribute and Tunis will follow
when she thinks it safe: while the elements OF
civil and religious discord within the Govern
ment itself, added to bankruptcy ana growing
exhaustion, make new crisis at Constantine
pie possible at any tine. Only one thing is
certain: the longer The present state OF things
continues, the more the peace OF Europe Is
imperiled. The rumors of mediation are again
repeated and the cxigtncie5 OF the situation
are such that they are probably well founded
this time.

THE DAY BEFORE THE CONTENTION


What will be done at Saratoga seems yet
entirely unsettled. What will not be done is
entirely clear. Mr.. Cornell will not be nomi-
mated. All accounts concur III represent
ing the delegates as striving with alto
geihcr unusual carncstnesS to represent
the wishes Of their constituents, ana
to find ctt simply what faithful ana
able Republican would bring the most strength
10 thc Hayes and Wheeler ticket. Opinion
seems To be concentrated mainly upon Mr..
Eyarts and ox-Gov. Morgan, the strongest
Rcnub,ican counncs being noticcably the strong
est in their support Of NiT. EyGris.
DELEGATES who are still honestly trying to
make M thcir minds as 10 the best candidate
MAJ 90, n useful hint from the opposition
Gov. Tilden and his intimate friends in this
citv haze admitted within the past week
that the one candidate whose nomination they
drcad is William Nj. Evarts They believe
they could beat Gov Morgan. We doubt 1t.
Rut it is interesting to know that they think
he could be beaten easier than Mr.. EVarts,
inst rs il WAS interesting to discover that the
man whom they want nominated is Mr. Cor
nell. Ii il really quite coincidence that, for
two months before Cincinnati, Gov. Tildcn
chances Of MIR. COnllng.
We believe Mr.. EvaTts TO be the strongest
man who could be nomnated-the one man
who would draw support from outside the
pa,ty and make sure of the fi0atng vote.
The Independent Republicans and the
Union League are almost unanimous i0r INN.
He would command large support from the
mercantile classes, on which otherwise there
is great danger that Gov. Tidcn would again
make heavy imroads. He would secure more
of tbo Liberal Republican vote than could
onvbody else, although Liberals have had no
e,pecial reason to like him. He was absent III
Europe during the campaign OF 1872, but ar
irving late on the evening of the last Republi-
can mass meeting at Cooper Institute, ,he drove
from the wharf direct to the platform. in order
To sneak for Grant. He has, III fact, from
1856 down to 1876 never voted any other
than the Republican ticket. He made the first
Hcpublican speech in the City Of New-York
at the meeting for Fremont and Dayton
in 1856, at time when scarcely 5000 Re
publican votes could be secured IN this whole
city at a Presidential election. Since then he
has always been one OF the most faithful sup
portcrs of the party, closest in sympathy with
its members Gf we except the time OIL the I'M
parchment fever), and most out of sym
pathy with the machine politicians who have
of late controlled it. Of his high abil-
tiles stainless character, and exalted
reputation throughout the country, there
is no need to speak. His nomination would
give such lift to the Republican canvass, not
merely in New-Yorl but throughout the coun-
try as Gov Tilden has been trying TO Sc
cure for the Democrats by urging Charles
Francis Adams in Massachusetts. by
no single act from now until November
could 80 much be done to secure the election
of Hayes and Wheeler, as by the nomination
to-day at Saratoga by acolamation of William
NJ. Eyarts for Governor. 1t seems too good to
