TBOucHTs AROUND THEwoRLD.

NEW YORK, March 27.-The announce
ment of the Oxford Cambridge boat race
in London was sent over the various tele
graph circuits of the United Press within
one and one-haIf minutes of the time that
the bow of the OXfords' boat crossed the
finish line. This extraordinary feat
was accomplished through the court
esy and cooperation of the Direct
Cable company, whose Office in this
city was connected by wire with that of
the United Press, the London office being
connected with Mortlake, thus practically
making a continuous wire connection be-
tween the scene of the finish of the race
and the general offices of the United Press
on Broadway. The dispatch was filed
three-quarters of a minute after the result
of the race was known, and the actual
time in transmitting it to New York and
in sending it over the United Press circuit
was between forty and fOrty-five seconds.
