SUNDRY SPORTS.

| TUE OAR.
| Hanlat's safe arrival in England has already
oeen announced. Hawdon, with whom he is tt
row his first match lin Map, has not begun
practicing for that event.
Ross, the American oarsman, who is to row
Emmett on March 10, has been able to do bu
little in the way OF practice, owing to large
quantities OF floating ice in the Thames.
In chronicling the Inauguration of practice fo1
the Oxford and Cambridge University boat race
i London writer on aquatics sa:s that it was 8
lact without parallel that when the university
practice commenced thousands Of persons were
being on on Stirbitch Common. which the prac'
ticng course skirts for a considerable distance.
1t has already been stated positively that OK.
ford had refused to row an eigut from Harvard
University, because OF the late date selected by
the American oarslncn. who named August
While the match for that time has really been
declined, it appears that Oxford has not 1ban-
doned hopes Of meeting Harvard this year, :t,,d,
at meeting OF CAPTAINS Of the Oxford Upiver-
sty Boat Club, which was to have been held last
week, the matter was intended to be discussed,
and every DISPOSITION WAS manifested By mem
bers OF the Club to ''givc the Harvard men their
rerengc," IT is probable, therefore, that Ok
ford may supplement the refusal to row in
August with proposition to meet Harvard Ut
some time mutually agreeable. giving way q

GERALDINE.

Over peaks Of rosy snow
Dies the sunsets crimson glow;
Vide, and white, and still. below
Stretch the frozen meadows.
AL the wooas arc blossomed with
Radiant, wa1en flowers;
Silver ferns and wreaths OF pearls
Fill their crystal bowers-
In the yalcs and hollows,
Where no more the cascade calls
Or the brook1ct follows,
And where last winds come and 20,
Creepin. silently and slow,
Steal tue twilight shadows.
TITS the same wood. Geraldine,
That We loved in; woods were green;
Fresh, and sweet and bright, between
Rolled the grassy meadows;
Down the shady lane we walked:
All! what glanccs tender,
With pretended shyness, flashed
From your evcs' dark sp!enior.
All how passionate the VOWS
By those red lips spoken!
False your eyes your lips, your heart,-
All their pledges broken.
Life has lost its Summer-sheeu;
And nv sad heart, Geraldine,
Faints mid SHOWS and shadows.

Sweet are the songs in the night,
Long and dark though it oe-
Southln. the heart, and singing
Beautiful melody;
Richest or chimes, and sweetest
Faith. Hope, aud Love, so blest.
Joys from the Home above us.
Droppings Ut Heavenly rest.
Be it,n night Of sorrow?
Light ls behind the cloud:
It will beam OH the morrow,
II we but trust Ills word.
Jesus ecatters the darkness:
Faith. Hope, and Love ali chime
or the morning above Us,
After the dark nighttime.

cllb will secure the services Of this young man,
SO that he may cease to become the subject Of
newspaper paragraphs.
Carey, who slipped up last fall in little
schenle to get job in Boston, is wintering in
Providence, and NAV possibly engage with the
