LONDON, April 5.-The race between the

was rowed Saturday on the Thames over the
usual course, and was won by the Cambridge
crew. Less interest than usual was taken
in the great contest:
The excitement at the close was thrilling.
At no point during the race had it been pos
sible for either crew to get more than q
half length ahead Of its rival. Up to almost
the finish the race belonged to either side,
and the excitement among the partisans.

minute to minute from the start by the
continuous svenness of the rowing, and
equalization of advantage until the splendid
finish relieved the excitement, which broke

the greatest ever pulled on the Thames since
the dead heat of 1877. The length of the
course was Az miles ------~--g.s

ADispatch from Hoxie.

NEW YoBK, April 5.--Jsy Gould said to
. United Press reporter Saturday that the
statement circulated on Wall street Friday
to the effect that the Missouri Pacific had
lost $3, 100000 by reason of the late strike
and would have to pass over or reduce its
dividend in consequence thereof, was
absurd. "The strike,n. he continued
had been going on only
threa weeks 3 and : as the
average earnings of the road are less than
$500, O,000 per week and as there has been q
partial suspension Of traffic. The damage re-
sulting from the strike will be in a measure
offset by the saving in wages Of the men
who are out" At the Missouri Pacific rail-
road Office Saturday morning every thing
was reported as going on so far satisfact-
orily. In proof Of this statement the follow
ing copy of q dispatch was furnished:
