WILLIAM SMALL, Fort Fairfield, Me.,says, in a letter recently received: “It wives me pleasure to speak from persona] knowledge of the wonderful cure, by the use of AYER’S Sarsa- parilis, of abad humor ina child eleven years old. ‘The child's hands, arms, feet and legs were covered with blotches and scabs, resisting all local applice- tions. Very soon after taking AYER'S Sarssparilla ‘the humor disappeared, the cure being complete. As a blood purifier I consider that AYER'S Sarsapannia Stands at the head of the whole catalorne of such Preparations, especially when used in connection with AYER'S Pills.” “There can be no question as to the superiority of AYER'S Sarsaparilla over all other blood purifiers. If this was not the case the demand for it, instead of in- creasing yearly, would have ceased long ago, like so many other biood medicines I could name."—F. L. ‘NICKERSON, Charlestown, Mase.

On Putney bridge before the race began | serried rows of people lined the parapet and {watched the preparations for the start with eager interest. On the wide foreshore, too. in front of the rowing club houses a great crowd gathered to see the launch of the wonderful shells which were to bear the heroes of the day to victory or defeat, and to cheer their favorites as they appeared: Each side of the river was lined with tugs, barges, wherries and all manner of odd craf merriment were drowned by the blatant strains of brass bands, the wails of concertinas and the fiendish shrieks of steam whistles. pytiote and aflont there was a ‘gay show of unting. In this respect the picturesque grou} of boat club houses etre os was goo chict attraction, Here there is plenty of room for the display of university colors and the colors of the various cinbs owning the build- ings, and the opportunity was not missed. Elsewhere along the course balconies were filled with gayly dressed ladies and the scene ‘was one of constant brightness, OBSTACLES AT BARNES BRIDGE. Tt had been decided. after some hesitation, to make the start, as usual, from Putney bridge, finishing at Mortlake. A difficulty ofa rather serious nature had arisen owing to the p wbich the southwestern rail river at Barnes, a point some three-quarters of a mile from the finish. The bridge 4s supported by two sets of tubular iron pillara wi the bed of the river on the lower or London side. The stockade points toward the Surrey plenty of room for two eights to pass abreyst through the center arch of the bridge, both boats wouid have to co right over to the Barnes shore in order to obtain a ciear course. To have ordered one boat to take the center and the other the Middlesex arch would ave been to handicap the outside craft. After discussion and the presidents of the rival clubs it was, | however, considered feasible for both boats to use the center arch, and it was decided to adopt the usual course, although it was foreseen that rule, desirable. ‘This, too, it was seen, would ney. AWAITING THE START. The patience of the waiting crowds at this point was at length rewarded by sceing the Cambridge crew leave the boat house of the Icander Club in their post and take the water as the challengers in the race. In a few moments they were out in the tideway, their light blue caps and jackets and their oar blades of the same tint be- ing conspicuous in spite of the confusion caused by a few tardy launches and wher- ries struggling to get out of the way and succeeding mainly im getting in it. The crew certainly looked very pretty as they paddled leisurely with machine-like precision to the moored skiff from which they were to start. Needless to say, they were lustily cheered by their friends and sympathizers. Hardly bad the noisy greeting subsided when the Oxford men emerged from their headquarters at the London Rowing Club and took their boat to the water side. Their appearance was the signal for an outburst of hearty cheering from those who fancied the dark bjue crew. Cambridge won the toss and chose the Surrey side. Once out from the shore they with somewhat more vigor than their pts to their appointed place, the dark blue dipping their oars simultaneously with clockwork regu- larity. Each crew being now held at its moored Doat the men prepared for battle by stripping off their flannel jackets and sweaters and set- fling their blades. Little then remained to dis- tinguish one set from another except the colors of their carblades. THE START. All being in readiness the official starter fired his pistol and amid the shouts of thousands of admirers and the hooting and screaming of steam whistles and syrens the crewa shot up stream to decide their fiftieth contest. Close behind them followed the umpire in a tiny steam launch, and at a respectful d four clumsy paddle wheel steamers of the kind used for the ordinary passenger traffic of the river.
