sacred concert in the evening the
audience rose and sang the national
anthem. But it was not until the
following day, Monday, that the real
uproarious recognition OF the close Of
the struggle took place. The English

Sunday was another evidence Of the
generation which exists upon this

oRIEL COLLEGE AND CECIL RHODES.
No visitor to Oxford paid attention
to Oriel College until Cecil Rhodes
that consummate master OF men and
slave Of women, died and left a will.
Now every n who comes to Oxford
makes inquiry regarding Oriel College.
1t is one Of the smaller colleges, and
has not a particularly high rank. In
deed, some people are cruel enough to
say that students who donot get along
at other colleges because OF laziness
may succeed admirably at Oriel. The
seat in the dining hall which Rhodes
occupied is pointed out but there i no
fierce and lurid light hanging over it.
Much curious comment is heard at
Oxford as to the effect which will re-
suit from the Rhodes scholarships for
American undergraduates. Some fear
a setting aside Of "the Oxford tradi-
tions" whatever that may mean.
Others predict that the best Ameri-
cans win not take advantage OF the
scholarships and that the students
who do come will not be creditable to
the republic which sends them. Yet
others predict the very best results
from the plan, the closer union Of the
two great Engllsh-speaking countries
a broadening and a liberalizlng Of Ok
ford and OF the American students
who come TO the classic university
town.

Boating, foot ball and cricket are
the great sports among Oxford stu
dents. The smooth and unruffed
waters OF two rivers, with several
branches, give excellent opportunity
for boating which is taken advantage
of in the spring. The college barges
are on the Thames near the famous
Broad Walk Of Christ ChuFch-which
is not achurch at all but the fashion
able college-and are fitted up for
the members OF various colleges who
indulge in boating. For less serious
sport upon the water ''punting'' is en-
gagged in. A low, fiat boat, not unlike
a Missouri river skiff, is pushed upon
the shallow streams by means Of an Isl
foot pole. Punting is most delight
ful-when some one other than your
self handles the pole. Foot ball fol-
lows In colder weather, a milder game
than that which is the college favor
lite in the United States. Then comes
cricket which is purely an English
game. CrOquet, which is again be-
coming fashionable in England, lawn
tennis and hockey - an aristocratic
shinny-complete the list Of the most
popular outdoor sports.
The English live more o~ut-of-doos
than do the Americans and Indulge
more in outdoor sports. The Amer
lean pays TO see other people play
base ball or foot ball but he doesn't
play himself. The English play crick-
ct and golf and lawn tennis until he
is too old 10 stop after the ball. OK
ford would admit no student who
came merely for athletics. "We
conceive that anything Of that
kind could occur " was the surprised
statement Of an oxford Official. "Are
there any colleges in America to which
Students go merely to play foot ball?"
THE OXFORD PRESS.
