Great Contest hetween the Cambridge
and Oxford Crews.
LONDON. April 3.-The Cambridge crew
won the Univeraity boat race on the
Thames this morning. The sky was cloudy
the weather mild and the wind pretty
strong. At start and during the race the
water ~as sufficiently "lulnpy" 10 put to a
thorough test the stamina OF the men
engaged III the contest. The betting WAS in
favor OF Cambridge. The river banks were
crowded with thousands OF people making
the race event holiday. 4 large crowd Of
rouRhs and ill-a'ad men appeared on the
scene as II to remind the holiday makers

Hammersmith Bridge WAS reached the

Opposite Hanson street they were fairly

and the boat responded b. fairly shooting

Cambridge and then passed it by a

On by cheering that was loud and
inspiring. The Cambridge men gradually
sent their boat up even with that OF the
oxford and the boats were kept even until
Barnes Bridge was passed. Here neither
crew had any visible advantage and both
were straicing such point that each over

ST. LOUIS, April 3.-At 800 O'Clock this
morning fire was discovered in the rear

Fourth and Pine streets. It was found
that the laundry room AZ well as the
drying room were in flames and burning

awakened the guests, 135 in number. The
greatest excitement prevailed, and for a
time panic was expected, but as soon as
the guests reached the ground door below
and found no immediate danger in that
portion OF the building the excitement grew
less and some of the guests returned to

In August, 1884. the arrival OF the cele-
brated 457-carat fine white diamond from
South Africa was announced, and it's sub
sequent purchase by a syndicate OF Lon
don AMI Paris diamond merchants. The
gem was intrusted to the care OF one OF the
most skillful cutters, who has been engaged
on the stone during the past eight months,
and expe 'ts to complete the work in April
next. As anticipated, the stone will turn
out the most "brIlliant-cut" diamond on
record, surprising in weight, az also, it is
believed in color, purity and lustre, all the
crown and historical brilliants OF the world,
The stone in it's almost finished state
weighs atill 23O carats, but in order to give
It the best possible shape and lustre It is
intended to reduce it's weight to something
less than 200 carats. The Koh.i.noor
weighs only 1O6 carats, the Regent Of
France 1869 carats. the Star OF the South
125 carats and the. Piggott s2A carats.
The Great Mogul weighs 278 carats. 1t is.
however. lumpy stone, only rose-cut, and
il cut to a proper shaped brilliant it would
probably not weigh more than 40 carats.
