COLTvBI4S VICTORY.

The Columbia College crew has exceeded
the expectations of its best friends ana put
all itSCritics to flight. The number OF those, on
this side of the water, who hoped to see the Co.
lumbias win was small enough, but none. we ven
turc to say, looked for a victory which may
fairly be called brilliant. The crew which came
in next to the Columbia boat on Thursday IN
the first heat for the Visitors Challenge Cup
was made up Of four members of the iaNt
Cambridge eight the lIertf0rd crew, when
was COlumbla's competitor yesterday, WAS
used up by it, cndcayorS to cope with the
tremendous pace Of The Amcricm crew, and
the accident by which the Hertford boat ran
ashore was, therefore, of an entirely different
nature from the misliap5 which sometimes
RUE out boat that might have won
The Hcrtf0rds ran aground because they
were too much exhausted to row or
steer, and COumbia's victory is none the
less gratifying because the American boat fin
ishcd the race alone. In both heats the skill
OF the COlumbias seems to have excited gen
cral admiration. Their rowing seems to have
been steady and sure throughout, and their
steering ia mentioned as being beyond all
praise. Their success will crafty all lovers
OF bonest sport and all NEWCOMERS, in par
t.cuar, without distinction of race, sex, color,
or condition.
The misfortuncs of the "Shoes" do not per-
haps appeal to the same class of our people as
the successes of Columbia. but there Will be a
very general sympathy with them in
their ill-luck. Certainly it WAS gIicyOus
enough to move even those hardy oars
men TO tears as it is said to have done.
On Thursday two Of them went through
part Of the first heat for the Steward cup,
pulling with one hand and waving their caps
with the other; but yesterday, in the very
crisis of the race one of them was stricken
helpless by Sudden sickness. Had it not been
for this accident, yesterday might have de-
served still more the name OF rcd-letter
day in the history of American rowing.
