' ; : The course for the race was that known as the Metropolitan, or better as the Putney to Mortlako course. ts length is four miles two furlongs. .The race Was rowed up stream. , The boats did not row under Putnev bridge, bnt started directlv above it. The river is about seven hundred feet wide at this , point, and thebanks arc level and low along the whole, course. For one-third of a mile from the startincr place, the-river is straight;, it then curves like the. letter 'U. - Thcrft are two bridges' on the course, tho Ham mersmith bridge, one mile and six furlongs from Putney, apd the Barnes railway .Bridge, three and a half miles J from the start, lhe course ends at a place called Barker Bails, wherd the direction of tho river makes another U, in. a position the reverse of ; the t ... - ; , . . The Harvard crew won the toss for position, and chose the Middlesex side the outside of the semi-circle Both boats started at 5 o'clock 14 minutes seconds. The tide at the start was sluggish, and 'a light southwest breeze prevailed, with smooth water. The Harvards' were first to catch the water, and took the lead, gaining rap idly apon their opponents and making forty-live strokes per minute, against the Oxford's forty. At Bishop's creek three furlongs from the starting place, the Harvards left half a length. Gaining headway, they increased their speed as they, passed the . willows. Their pace was subsequently slackened, and the Oxfords pulled up, but , the Harvards were still three-fourths of a length ahead at craven Point, three fourths of a mile from the start. The Oxfords now went on with a steady drag, but the Americans rap idly increased their lead, and at Crab- tree, a mile and an eighth from the aqueduct, were a couple of lengths ahead. Beyond this point the Har vards wcro taken wide, and the Ox fords quickening their speed 'reduced the gap the T soap works, a mile and a half from tho start, to a half length. The Harvards . now pulled up with a magnificpnt burst to Hammersmith's bridge, a mile and three-quarters, but in shooting the bridge lost the distance they had. Opposite the middle wall the Oxfords spurted and came up gradually to the Harvards, but when opposite tho Danes the boats were found to be too close, and the Har vards gave way, and at Cheswick Ait, 2-i miles, the boats were level. After proceeding fifty yards further, the Oxfords began to gain, though tempo rarily, 1 and ? the. Harvards again got even With'them. The Oxfords gained rapidly at Cheswick, where it became clear that tho race apparently told on the Harvardswhd were rather; wild at. this part of the race. From this point the Oxfords drew, ahead, and in a. few strokes obtained a lead of two lengths.- The .'Harvards, rowing pluckily, held them there for half a mile when they fell astern and the Oxfords, 38 strokes per minute, 'shot past Barnes bridge, miles, three lengths ahead. Along Barnes' Beach the Harvards refreshed their stroke, Mr. Loring, with river water, thereby retarding their boat. The Americans then tried to snurt. but found the effect ineffectn al, and the Oxfords getting more of a poard lend,' eventually won the race by four 'rav" lengthy 'casing up' in the last few n strokes and pulling up fresh.' The Ox-;'.? tbat fdrda arrived at the-ship at 5 o'clock au 36 minutes and 47 seconds, making the-1 4$ rrfile3 irf 22 minutes ; and 40 sec- rk ? onds.'

A' similar de monstration was accorded him at Greenock, Dunoon.

But Tennessee alone yields more than all South America and the West Indies by 314,700 bales to 252, 207 bales. The total quantity of land devoted to the growth of-, cotton throughout the whole of India docs not exceed S,500,000 acres. If this quantity of land was as productive in India as. it is in the United States it would yield something like 4,000,000 bale, or half a bale per acre. These facts render it riot at xdl improbable. American cotton wilf always monopo lize the market. The production else where is small compare'd with what it will be in the United States in a few years. , Jim's Lost Iore.
