ffty-seventh boat race today between
the crews representing the Universities
of Oxford and Cambridge, crossing the
line two lengths ahead The official
time was 20 minutes so seconds.
The morning was gloomy and cold,
but this did not prevent crowds of peo-
pie from vending their way to Putney
in order to watch the final practice of the
crews.
During the morning both the Oxford
and the Cambridge boats practiced start
ing for about quarter of an hour. Rain
fell at intervals throughout the morning
and a strong southwest wind was blow
ing, but the banks of the river Thames
were crowded at an early hour.
At 3 D. N. the Cambridge coxswain
went over the course again in steam
launch.
Happily the wind moderated greatly
during the afternoon and at $3.50 p. N.
was very light and the water almost
smooth.
The press and the umpire's boats took
up their positions when the hour of the
race approached, and they were shortly
followed by the crews.
Oxford won the toss and chose the
Surrey side Of the river.
The scene on the Thames was as ami
mated as usual and until the course was
cleared the river was alive with craft of
all kinds. The boats of the two crews
were besieged by their admirers early in
the day and both Oxford and Cam bridge
we're loudly chsersd as they launched
their boats.

was unchanged from that of last night.

The crews started at 4:0S D. m., and
Oxford soon had lead of half length.
At Hammersmith bridge, little over
one and three quarters miles from the
start, Oxford had increased the lead to
half a length and was widening the gap.
At Thornycrofts, about three miles
from the start, Oxford was a length and
a quarter ahead, and at the Devonshire
meadows, the dark blue was leading by
two lengths
Oxford at Barnes' Bridge, slightly over
three and a half miles from the start,
held the lead of two lengths and even
tually won by that distance.
Oxford started at forty strokes to a
minute, the Cambridge stroke content
ing himself with 49, The dark blues
throughout the race pulled steadily like
clock work. Opposite Lead Mills, Cam
bridge drew up II little, but the hopes of
the admirers of the light blue soon faded
away and Oxford increased her lead as
she liked
The race today was over the usual
course from Obliwuely, opposite the Star
and Garter inn at Putney, to the fnis
line l20 yards above the Ship inn at Mari
lake. The exact length of the course
was measured by the Thames conservancy
as four miles one furlOng and 1870 yards

PHILADELPHIA, March 80 = State
Senator Jacob Cauter, OF New York, one
of the members of the Lexow committee,
was in town today. He said that Mayor
Strong's bipartisan bill now pending in
the Legislature will be passed, but that in
such a case Superintendent Byrnes would
no doubt be retained in his present posi-

The senator asserted that it was not
true that Governor Morton has ignored
the dictates of Mr.. Platt and cast his lot
with Mayor Strong.
Governor Morton and Mr.. PIatt," he
said, ''are still hand in glove, politically,
and they are likely to stay SO. I believe
Mr. Platt's power in the legislature, and
in the Empire state, is as great as ever.
He controls the Republican machinery
of the state, and his will is law"
Continuing, Mr. Canter said that the
Republican delegation from New York
would support Governor Morton for pres
ident "Plans with that end in view are
already made" he said, ''and if Mr Piatt
has his way. Morton. will be the leading
candidate of the Empire state RepubIi-

Nebraska Legislature Passes the Sugar
Bounty Bill Over the Governors Head.
LINGO In, Neb, March 30.-Governor
Holcomb sent in his veto of the sugar
bounty act but without avail. as the leg
isiature promptly passed the bill over
his veto. The governor sent long mes
sage in which he discussed especially
the feature of taking money raised by
taxation for such purposes. The follow
ing sentences express the substance of
his message:
II am unable to approve of this act for
that, in my judgment, it is in the nature
OF class legislation and of doubtful con-
stitutionality. Through it under the
form of taxation the sacred rights of
property of the many are invaded and
their means taken to advance the welfare
of those only who are engaged in this
industry"
The house took prompt action, and by
vote of 88 to % passed the bill over the
veto. In the senate the vote was equally
emphatic and the bill was passed over
the veto by 96 to 8. The measure was a
Republican one. 1t gives g cents
bounty for sugar and a small bounty on
chicory.
