A brier let tip took Place about the middle of February owing to tho dinwnlng of Mr, II. L.

Like their Cambridge opponents, tho Oxford crew changed to tho Thames on March 11, locating, as usual, at Cookham, about forty-six miles above Putney, taking quarters at the Ferry Hotel. Their ex periences on tho first day weie anything but agreeable. The river, owing to the floods, had overflow cd tho banks, and, with a heavy wind, tho wavos threatened to swamp them at every stroke. The crew then consisted of II. E. L. l'ux cy. B. P. P. Hone, T. A. Cook, T. It. Foth crgill, Lord Ampthill, It. B.Parker, G. Nlckalls and W. F. C. Holland, with J. P.LonsdsIc, cox swain.

Tho rowing at Cookham at first was cry unsatisfactory, but it stcodllv improiod. and when the crow anpeared at Putney on tho 1Mb they showed in form not nearly as bad as ex pected. On tho lnth tho Oxfords gavo their new boat a trial, and on tho '-'nth lowed oer the course in good stuo from Mnrtlako to Putney, In -Mini, '.'"is., which was hcttir than Cambridge had dono at her flit trial.

The Cambridge crow first showed at Putney on the aftviuoon of March 11, getting afloat early In tho afternoon, and as the only now msn in tho boat was tho coxswain they were watched with gnat Interest. The rowing done was sat ixfautory, as Northmore (tho new coxswain) took them our the coarse in fair stvlo for a " green horn." Tho betting men freely ottered !l to 1 on tho light blue. But little work other than to try thoir now boat was done on tho second day, tho crow going to tho Keiiliington Oval to wit ness tho baseball match, when Chicago beat All America by 7 to -I.

The Cambridge work dono on tha 10th was principally conllued to sprint rowing and prac tising fast starts. On the "0th they lowed over tho full course Irom Mortlako down to Putney, having a "scratch" crew of tho Thames Bow ing Club to row against in tho last half. The steering was very bad, and the "scratch" beat them by nearly two lengths. They covered tho distauce, however, in um. (Is. The livent and Ita Hrroril. Tho above is tho forty-sixth race between tho representative crews of tho famous English universities Oxford and Cambridge of which Oxford has won S3, Cambridge 2, with ono a "dead heat." Whether eight-oarod racing originated or not with tho universities, it oer tainly has been kept up to its piescut high standard in Bngland by tho Oxford and Cam bridge University Boat Clubs, as it has in tho Unlted States by the annual contexts between aloand Harvard, In fact, thesoannnal con tests aro tho mainstays of amateurism in both countries, for although tlio betting may ho Iicavy, and the feeling run high.theio has noter ecn a shadow of doubt of tho honesty of all contending. Many who have rowod in the Buglihh contests have reached high positions in the Church, law, anny. diplomacy and medical science. The English records of the first fifty years show that of the Oxford crews IOH be camo ministers, .'II lawyers, 4 doctors and B went Into tho army. Of thoso that pulled In the light bluo boat HO chose tho Church, ."i0 went into law, - doctors and into tht aimy. Bach Unhcrsity had two bishops, Wordsworth and MacdougaU from Oxford, and tho two Beiwaytis from Cambudge. In the law Chltty. of Oxford, readied the bench, as did Brett and Benmau, of Cambridge. Ono advantage the Knglish crews havo had oier tbote of Harvard and Yale, is in having friends willing and able to compile tho histories of the annual races, with biographical sketches of those, who towed. It is comparatlicly lit tlo trouble to know the whereabouts of those who battled on the Thames thirty or forty years ago. Tho reverse is tho case, with those for Har vard and Yalo, it being dltlicult, if possible, to get the names of the crews that rowed in tho "fifties." Yet it is woll known that these col leges have sent good men into the world to bat tle for Got! and humanity that rowed under the crimson of Harvard and the blue of Yale.

In this inuttor tho victory, while man is as he is, is with thoio of Darkness. "For my part, you wilt doubtleos long since bavo puosbed that I am a member of tho Brotherhood of Light. " It happened in this wnyi " Ten years ago, when I was in Thibet. I came across a Brother, who initiated me. Tho method of initiation is u secrot, ami I cannot here explulu it. ' ' I remained with this Brother for close upon two years, sharing tbo same cave with htm and living even as he did. " In this way I uiado myself master of many of the treaxmed secrets of nature, and rediscov ered, what this material world lias long since forgotten, the connecting links between man andthe elements. " In the end I was admitted Into the sacrod presence of the Master aud enrolled as a Brother. Much more of the unknown was then made known to mo, and I was given tho power ot separating my soul fiom my body. "The human form Is, after all, but tho 0.1 so which contains tlio soul. Destroy tho shell and the spirit escapes and seeks another habitation. This o en you. sceptlo that you are. cannot deny. All pcoplo, 110 matter how civilized or how savage they may bo, boliove in the existence of a soul 111 some shape or other. But while the body tho outer cover of man Is known in every particular, how many haio been ablo to analyze and dis sect the soul 't Your materialist, with dissect. ( ing knifo in hand, cuts and rips the inani mate dead, aud says with an air of triumph 1 ' Koo, I havo laid bare evory nerve ; hero, is the biaiu, thero is the heart, whom is soul V " Of course the soul is not there. To search the Improvements made from time to time in rowing. In tho matter of boats, oars, rlidlntr seats and otherwise, havo been utilized and , made popular by the Oxford and Cambridge race. 1 he first race, rowed In isiit). was in heavy barges, and they continued to bo used until 1H4U, when Cambridso won In a down, river racefrom Mortlako to l"utney In an ont- ilffgod clllikor.bulit boat 110 foot long, 32 nches wide, .with ends unoanvasod, the Ox ord boat measuring MM feet long. Inl8n7 the present stvlo of shells were first used, as were round oais, oil of tho same length It! feet 7 Inches. A eliaiiL'e In the stvlo of rowing also marked tho year, and both crnns were taught the art of catching hold of the beginning of tho stroke, which was not at all part of the old style, but which was Imperative for the new light boats without keels, which otherwise allpptd away before tho work could lm got on. Oxford had tho best of the piactlce, and ill tho racu rowed clean away fiom Cambridge, winning easily by !). si conds, although rowing a lunch slower rtrokr, demonstrating that the old style of high feathering and pulling out hard at the end was of tiouse. In 1H7!1 the then newly Invented American sliding feats were first used in an Bugllsh Uni versity boat race. Both crews rowed in cedar shells built by Clasper that for Cambridge was fiH net 4 Inches long, a.Msj inches wide, 7l inches stem, 1 4U Inches amidships and 74inchcs at tho stern. Tho Oxford boat was 4 Inches shorter, a littlo wider and a littlo fuller bottom. 1 ho slides were ".cry crude and icquircd tip end of oil to minimize the friction. Cambridge, howevtr, won tho raeo in mm. . 'It's., which Is still the fastest tlmo on reconU The race was, howeter, rowed on a strong flood tide. Other incidents havo maiked tho race. Thero were two contests In 1H4H, Cambridge winning in March, and Oxfoid In December on a foul. In 1HM) tho wtatherwasso bad that a postpone ment was suggested. The crews would not hear of any such thing. Both boats came near sink ing in taking positions. Oxford won the choice of positions and cho,o the Fulham shore, which was tho most sheltered. Sho led from tho start, tha Cambridge boat sinking a mile from tho fin ish a most gallant performance, for It was known that ono of tho crew could not swim. All wore rescuod. The "dead heat" In 1H77 was duo to the fact that in the last mile Oxfoid had but seven oars, "Ikiw" having sprung his at tho beginning of the last mile. They had the benefit of tho inside position and made n tremendous struggle. Two postponements havo been had In IHKO, from March '.'li to tho .yd, by reason of fog, and In 1HH4, from April " In tlio 7th, by reason of tho death ot Piiiico Leopold at Cannes on April 4, The race in IHHH was rowed March 1A in a heavv snow storm, and resulted In a declsiio victory for Ox ford. It was also so dark at tho hour fixed for tho lace ft r. M. that tho street lamps at Put ney had already bean lighted when tho word was given.
