They Win by Three Lengths in 20 Minutes and 35 Seconds, or LIST OF FORMER RACES AND WINNERS. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Toxpow, March 29, 1873, ‘The annual race between the eight-oared boats’ erews of the Oxford and Cambridge Universities came off this afternoon over the usual course of four miles and two furlongs, from Putney to Mort- lake, on the River Thames, and again resulted in favor of the Cambridge crew. THE WEATHER. The morning opened witha dese fog, but al noon, to the delight of everybody, it cleared away. and the weather became warm and delightful, the sun shining brightly. THE’ BETTING. . The betting at first was in favor of the Cambridge crew, as it was generally accepted that they would prove the victors, the odds being two to one on them. But half an hour before the start the Ox- fords suddenly sprung into favor, the rumor gain- ing crédence that some or the Cantabs had beer, overworked and were sick. Just before the ccm- test, however, the Oambridge crew were again;the favorites. ¢ THE CREWS. Tne weights and collegiate class halls of the men making up the crews were recorded as follows :— OXFORD, When the Oxonians reached Putney*on the 13th Inst. the constitution of the crew and‘their weights were:— Tbs. Bow—. C. Knollys, Magdalen....... 151 lo. 2—J. B. LAttle, Ohrist Church. 151 No. 3--M. G. Farrer, Brasenose. -.. 172 ‘No. 4—W. Nicholson, Magdalen. 177% ‘No. 5--R. 8.

Frewer, St. John’s. +» 108 Total welght of “the eight,” 1,4164 pounds; average Weight, 1573; pounds, From this list it may well be seen that four of Jast year’s crew were retained, viz. :—Knellys, who ‘was then at No. 2; Nicholson, who made no altera- tion of position; Mitchison, who went one ‘weat further back, and Ornsby, twelve months ago. CAMBRIDGE, Bow—J. B. Close, First Trinity. No. 2—E, Haskyns, Jesus.... No, 3—G, M, Robinson, Christ’ No. 4—-C, W. Leckey-Browne, Jesu: No. 5—F. 8. Turnbull, Trinity Hall No, 6--C. 8.

Candy, Caius. + 106 Total weight ef the Cantabs, 1,435}, pounds; average weight, 15934 pounds, From a glance at this list it will be seen that four who did duty last year were retained for the race to-day, these being J. B. Close and Robinsen, “who were situated then as now; Read, who was then No. 6, and Benson, who was No. 2 twelve months ago. who was bow THE BOATS. The boats of both crews were Clasper’s, the Can- tabs being 58 feet 4 inches in length, 25 inches ex- treme width, 14%; inches amidships, 74; inches @epth at stem and at sternpost 7 inches. The Oxonians’ craft is fonr inches shorter and slightly ‘wider than that of their competitors. ‘ SCENE ON THE RIVER BANK. As usual on like occasions there was great ex- sitement in London, business being almost en- tirely neglected, Hours before the race was to Take place great crowds congregated on the banks -of the Thames, in order to secure eligible Positions to view the contest. Both shores were lined tom Putney to Mortlake, and the bridges crossing the stream were packed. It is estimated that more people were present on this occasion than ever before. The ‘Thames Conservancy, press and police boats ar- rived at Putney at anearly hour and cleared the river for the race. The Prince of Wales and his cnil- dren were on the nmpire’s boat. Light and dark ‘Dive bunting, the colors of the Cambridge and Ox- ford crews respectively, were displayed from all quarters. Almost every person wore a rosette of } ‘these colors, as their feelings dictated. THE RACE. { At halfpast two o’siock everything was ready 4or the start and the boats then took their posi- ‘ions,, the race promising to be of the most ex- citing nature, At thirty-one minutes past two @'clock.the word was given, Cambridge imme- diately * taking the iead at a very quick stroke, and were a fair distance ahead of their cempetitors to Bishop's Walk, three farlongs from the starting point. Here the Oxfords spurted vigorously and drew up, passing the Cantabs at the Soap Works—a mile and four furlongs from Hammersmith Bridge. The steady stroke of the Cantabs soon alter began to tell on their opponents, and in a few mements Cambridge had resumed the lead. The race was practically over at Corney Reach, Cambridge thereafter main. taining the lead and winning easily by three Jengths, The Oxterd.crew rowed from thirty-nine to forty- tree strokes’ per minute, and the Cantabs from thirty-eight to Jorty-two strokes, THE TR, The time of the race was twenty minutes and ithirty-Ove seconds, WINNERS, AND TIME OF PREVIOUS RACES. ‘The following ys @ chepnolozical recapitulation of The British University Oars- The Thames men at the Oar.

It is said the receipts at the Grand Opera House since the production of ‘Uncle Sam” reach $1,500 per night. Mr. Boucicault is prospering at Booth’s, “Daddy O'Dowd” having touched a sympathetic chord in the hearts of play-goers, Mr. Jefferson was roused out of bed the other day at New Bedford by a chap who feared Rip Van Winkle would sleep so long he would be unable to get Mr. J.’s autograph. Lester Wallask had remarkable success in Brookiyn last week. Mrs. Gonway theatre was crowded every night by fashtonable audiences, and “Rosedale”? was finely rendered. Mr. Jerome Hopkins played selections trom his répertoire of 100 works, at the Mott Library, yes- terday afternoon. His Orpheon Springtide Festi- val takes place at the Academy of Music on April 28, A gentleman at Niblo’s tne other night relieved his feelings by declaring that “Child Americus” was @ great bore. The lady accompanying, not sharing his feelings, innocently added, “Yes, in- deed, he is a great boy.” Mr. George Fawcett Rowe's comedy, which is to be produced at the Union Square Theatre some- time this season, is a distinctively English piece. It is said to havea crisp, brilliant dialogue and strong dramatic incidents. The Vokes Family, who sail from Liverpool on Tuesday, will appear at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on the 14th of April. An enterprising ticket speculator has offered thelr manager $1,800 for all the reserved seats in the house en that night, but he has been refused. “Agnes” will be performed to-morrow night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music by Migs Ethel, with as nearly as possible the same company as at the Union Square Theatre. The stage furniture will also be from that theatre. “Agnes” will be played at the Newark Opera House on Wednesday and Thursday. A very pleasant and enjoyable concert was given on the White Star steamship Celtic on Friday after noon Mr. J. N. Pattison’ was the pianist on the oc casion and played @ new work of his own, called the “Celtic Polka,” which he formally pregented to Captain Thompson, of that vessel. Mme. de Ryther sang Ganz’s “Bird Song” and Herr Sachse played the “Elegy,” by Ernst, on the cornet. At the Fifth Avenue Theatre “alixe” and “False Shame" will be alternated during the week, and the week following will give place te “Old Heads and Young Hearts.” “Divorce” will be produced on the evening of Easter Monday. The cast is tobe the same as at the old Fifth Avenue Theatre, ex- cept that Mr. George Clarke will play Alfred Adri- ance in the place of Mr. Harkins, If we would go to Niblo’s we must be content ‘with what the gods (of the gallery) give us. It is their will that we shall see “Buifalo Bill” and “Texas Jack,” and the American Bulwer, and the management, like the prudent men they are, at once declare their willingness to please the masses, and announce that it has ever been their aim to meevthe wishes and demands of ajl the various elements entering into the composition of society. We are sorry to hear that Mr. Cody's duties as a legislator may interfere with his devotion to art. Dundreary as 8 married man is the oniy phase of that distinguished nobleman's life which yet re- mains to be revealed to the American public, From his attempts at love-making it was plain that he would marry somebody some day, out of sheer ennui, if for no other reason. When Du dreary married he was at once surrounded by all his poor relatives, who were determined to live upon him, In this emergency he sought advice from the prace Asa told him to “kick ’em out,” which he did. ‘This is the story of Byron’s farce whick Mr. Sothern is to play at Wallack’s, in addition to the per- formance of ‘David Garrick.” The latter plece, by the way, entered upon its eighth weck last night. We unéerstand that arrangements are making fer a season of “star”? performances at the Olympic Theatre next yet The situation of this theatre is admirably suited to a succession of en- gagements in which well-known artists can ap- pear before the New York public. The only thing to be regretted in this change in Mr. Hayes’ plans will be the absence of Mr. G. L, Fox from the birth- place and home of “Humpty Dumpty.” Not only has Fox changed the ‘Christmas pantomime” into a spring of perennial fun, but he has made what we may ea!l a family theatre out of the Olympic. We have not yet heard the names of any of the actors who are to appear at the Olympic next year, but whoever they may be they cannot fail to be benefited by Fox’s hard work during the last five or six years in making the theatre what it now is, Everybody is bound to acknowledge that the show business prospers only when it is called the circus, and we all turn with delight to the amphi- theatre when the theatre has failed. The trained dogs making love before the Palace of St. Cloud are a nuisance, but if we saw them at the cirens we should say, “Smart dogs, very; intelligent as their~ master.” The theatre is not the place for dogs, especially if they are better trained than the rest of the cast, yet we have been punished with this kind of thing all the Winter. Luckily the circuses are back again—Lent’s, at Twenty-sixth and Twenty-sev- enth streets and Madison and Fourth avenues, and Barnum’s, at Third avenue and Sixty-third street. These showmen are perhaps not aware ot the ser- vice they are doing to art and the relief their con- tinued presence would be to theatre-goers. “Cousin Jack,” Mr, Leroy’s play, at the Union Square Theatre, is meeting with a success far be- yond what was anticipated for it. The houses have been large every night during the week, and the Management announce the postponement for the present of all other novelties. Now that the actors have become familiar with their parts, the play is seen to be an exceedingy lively comedy-drama with @ good deal offun in it, as well as several strong sit- uations. Nething produced lately is more successfal in eliciting applause from an audience than tnat part of the second act where Cousin Jack comes bounding through the window to save Mme. Valdent from the villain Chambry. Mr. Harkins’ great physical vigor serves him a good turn in the part of the adventurous Jack, while Miss Jennie Lee in the part of Blanche acts with a simplicity and naturalness which actresses ef higher preten, sions might well imitate. We have before spoken iu praise of the mounting of the piece. DREADFUL SUICIDE IN NEWARK, Robert E. Brewster, a cloth cutter, fifty-nine years old, residing and working in Jersey City, and separated trom his wife for some time on account of his dissipated habits, committed suicide at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Simen Bashford, 180 Chestnut street, Newark, N. J., last evening. His wife was residing at her son> in-law’s hense, and yesterday morning he callea abent eight o’clock for the purpose of arriving at some settlement with ker. From words he pro- ceeded to blows and severely cut her head, Mr, Bashford then requested him to leave the house, and he did so. Soon after, hearing a gurgling, noise on the front stoo; and thinking” his father-in-law waa sick, Mr. Bashiord went out for the purpose of getting a oliceman, and on his return with the officer was orrified to find that his father-in-law had cut his throat frem ear to ear with @ razor, which was found lying alongside him. Life was extinct but the body was still warm. The only cause assigned for the commission of the rash act are the differ. ences he bad bad with his wife. THE INSANITY DCDGE AGAIN. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 29, 1873, Charlies J. Cloak, whe is charged with the murder of his wife, was before the’ Court to-day on a writ of habeas corpus to effect his release on bail on a piea of insanity. The Court declined to listen to the evidence and remanded the prisoner for trial without bail, THE ENGLISH AUTHORITIES THWARTED, Boston, March 29, 1873. Jobn and Andrew Scott, arrested on the arrival of the steamer Maita last Monday, on a charge of fraud, made by telegraph from Edinburgh, have been released, the extradition treaty not covering the case.

Dreadful Sufferings of a Poor Man in Washing- ton—Direful Results of a Bite from a Small Dog—Futility of All Medical Re- sources—Death’s Final Release. HY DROP WASHINGTON, March 29, 1873, The murder of last midnight and a most distress- ing case of hydrophobia which had a fatal termina- tion yesterday furnish two terrible topics of con- versation to the people o1 this city. The victim of the hydrophobia 5 @ map named Richard Sta- ples, whe had serv in the Marine Corps, whence he was honorably discharged some years ago. Since then he has been employed in his trade as carpenter in Chicago and in this city. He was at- tacked about three months ago while in Chicago by @smali dog, which apparently inflicted no wound upon him, but the symptoms of the horrible dis- ease made their appearance on Wednesday last, THE FIRST SYMPTOMS, Some two or three weeks ago he was noticed to be very merose and low-spirited, On Sunday last he complained of generai ill-feeling, and frequently hid his face in his hands. He next complained of Pains in his back and in his head. A physiclan was called, but by Wednesday morning the symptoms were not far enough advanced to warrant the sup- position that it was hydrophobia. About six o’elock Wednesday evening it was found tnat he could not swallow. It was them that the unmis- takable symptoms of hydrophobia were first de- veloped. The back of his throat became perfectly blue aud presented a terrible appearance. Caliing for @ glass of water the patient took it in both hands, cenveyed it to his meuth and clenched his teeth on the glass, at the same time making an anusual noise in his throat. This was the first paroxysm. His pulse at the time beat about one hundred, and the pupils of his eyes were dilated as well as his nostrils, Thursday morning the paroxysms were more violent, and his pulse was so rapid that it could not be ceunted, HE PATIENT IRONED. About half-past twelve o’clock that morning he became so violent that it was deemed expedient te secure him, @ pair of handcuffs and leg trons being procured and put on his hands and legs with tne greatest difficulty, It took six men .to hold him while the irons were being put on, He laid down on the foor, folded his hands over his breast and stated he was going to die in that position, bt first summoned his wile and friends and bid them all goodby. He next requested Rey. Mr, Wilson, ef the Virginia avenue Methodist Prot- estant church, to sing and pray with him, and for at least twenty-five minutes, while these spiritual exercises were kept up, he scemed perfectly com- posed. Then another paroxysm came on and he went off into violent contortions, Ev while these spasms lasted he seemed to be rational, and when they passed off he always seemed prostrated. While they lasted he foamed at the mouth, and there was @ continwal desire to spit. These dis- | char were a tenacious mucus, of a greenish cast, and accempanied by seme blood. WONDERFUL RFFECT OF SINGING. Singing was the only thing that seemed to have aseothing effect upon him and threw him into a state of ecstacy, but as soon as the singing stopped and the seund of the voice was lost on the audi- tory nerve the the parexysm returned. As soen as tne singing commenced he would begin to beat his thigh and stamp Bis feet, and soon every muscle in | his body weuld be moving. His eyes presented a Irightiul appearance and giared wi pal Ris pulse could not be counted at ail, and the intervals be- tween the paroxysms grew shorter and shorter, Ne remedy had any effect upon him. AT FIRST A HYPODERMIC INJRCTION of halfa grain of merphia was given, but it seothed | him for a short time only. Then the injection was | increased to. one and a quarter grains, and this large quantity of morphia injected under the skin. equal to about six grains of opium, did not a him for @ longer peried than an howr. A powerful stimulating liniment was used to rub the spine, and bydrate of chloral given, but with- out effect. While the paroxysms were on him he begged these around him to kill him, When Dr. McKim visited him yesterday morning and found him in irons he at first thougbt he would take them of, but upon making a movement to do bo di covered that it would be very dangerous to release him, The patient was them laying on the floor, having breken down his bedstead in his ravings. Hie cried ont at the top of his voice while the paroxysms lasted, and the spitting increased rapidly. Thursday night he was kept quiet a geod Part of the time by the singing of his friends, who did everything in their power to relieve his saffer- ings, Yesterday morning there were scarcely any intervals between the paroxysms; it was like one centinued spasm, when his sufferings seemed in- tense, until ten o'clock when death reseased him, ASSASSINATION IN WASHINGTON, An Unfortunate Drover Shadewed by Ruffians, Mardered and Robbed. WASHINGTON, March 29, 1873, A young man named Frank Hahn was shockingly rourdered last night in this city, his skull having been crushed with a billy, which instrument waa broken by the blows, and the face was so much disfigured and so thickiy clotted with blood as to be scarcely recognizable. The deceased was a Virginia drdver, and kad been in the habit of stop- morning he went to Baltimore, sold his stock, real- izing, itis said, six or eight hundred dollars, and returned to Washington by the late train, intending to continue his journey to Alexanaria, Va., a ticket tor that purpose having been found on his person, ‘The body was discovered on Armory Square lot, only a few yards frem the Baltimore and Potomac Rail- road station, The theory ts that the parties who committed the crime, knewing he had money, fol- lowed him from Baltimore, and, availing ‘them- selves of the opportunity, seized and carried him to the lot, where they beat his brains out and robbed him. ‘This tragedy causes intense excitement through- out the city and many persons rashly threaten lynch law should the murderers be discover It Was only yesterday a man was hanged in Alexan- dria, Va., for murder; but this, it appears, had no terror or restraining effect in Washingtoi The police have made one or two arrests of par- ties on suspicion of having been concerned in the murder of Mr. Hahn this morning, but no names are given and it is certain that ee satisiac- tory to ‘he police authorities has been developed, THE HERALD AND NEW YORK OITY AS A BUSINESS COMMUNITY, {From the Lynchburg Virginian, March 23.) ADVERTISING—A WELL SUSTAINED JOURNAL, The New York HERALD of Sunday last, contained sixty-seven columns of advertisements, and was compelled by the pressure of news matter to omit eight columns, which would have made the un- precedented amount of seventy-five columns of ad vertising in a singie number. . Now this was in the city of New York, where the sharpest traders en this Continent, or any ether, can be found. They believe that advertising pays. And the immense revenue accra- ing to the HeRaLD from this source, enables its proprietor to spend hundreds of thousands of doliars in collecting news to make his journal what itis. But how widely different is the view taken by many of our slow, easy-going people from that entertained by the business men of New York re- Specting the value of advertising. The former seem to begrudge every dollar paid to a newspa- per for such service and affect to believe that “it does no good’—that it is money thrown away. And so instead ef contributing in this way to build up first class newspapers that might have a more extended circulation and thereby better promote their own business interests and those of their cities, they allow their papers to languish and to be conducted olten at an actual loss to the propri- etors. We say now—what we have said beretofore—thas there can be no better criterior by which to judge of the enterprise and prosperity of any city than that furnished in the advertising celumns of the local newspapers. If these be filled with adver- tisements of business houses it proves that there are wide-awake men there doing business, whe are endeavoring to do more. They are not content to plod along in the old way, but use every available means to extend their business and to build up the community of which they ferm apart. We say this because we believe it to be the truth, and not merely because we want advertising. petende THE HERALD AMONG THE OARLISTS AND REVOLUTIONISTS OF SPAIN. {From the Freeman’s Journal—Catholic organ— March 29.) “DINNA YE HEAR THE SLOGAN 1” The New YORK HERALD says:—‘The Freeman's Journai is still singing ‘Wha’ll be King (of Spain) but Chariie ' Of course we are. And we are sorry the HERALD did not take our advice of a month ago and send out one of its clever and im- partial “Commissioners” to visit Catalonia and the Basque Provinces of Spain and to bé tie earliest and fullest chronicler of one of the most remarkable political events of the nine- teenth century. It is not too late yet. Events yet more stirring are in the immediate future. A lull and correct report cf them—such as the Henatp has so often given from distant and gerous places—would be a “stunner!” The HERALD Commissioner ceuld get along with only a knowl- edge of the Spanish; though the language of the common people in the Basque Provinces is not gen- erally intelligible to Spaniards. But the “Cvoramis- sioner,” to enter inte the spirit of bis work, onght wo be a Gael, or Celt, or Celt-Iberiean—and inde- pendent of preconceived prejudices, Such an one may hear more gallant and stirring “music,” in the whole north of Spain than ever he did who in- died — . ‘ For wha’ll be king but Charlier HOLMES GRANTED A NEW LEASE OF LITE.

The Brooklyn Police Still Work ing on Their “Theories.” THE POOR SEAMSTRESS IN JAIL. Her Father Refused Ad< mission to See Her. New York's Best Heart Beating—That Tip-Top Tenement—An Ilustrious Visitor and a Noble Deed—“But the Greatest of These Is Charity.” The Brooklyn detectives are still agape with the query to each other, ‘ Who is she ?” The nine days since Charles Goodrich was mur- dered tn the brown stone house in Degraw street have deen nine days of grace to the hidden guilty one, in which noise enough has been made to scare the assassin to the Pacific, One thing is evident, and that, Is that the slayer of Goodrich, man er woman, is @ murderer; and another equally evident fact is, thatif the perpetrator should be arrested any- where about the metropolis or within a thousand miles of it he or she adds the disgrace of being @ too} to the atrocity of the crime, ‘The detectives had nothing new for the putlic on the subject yesterday, except that they are “working on it night and day,” the night part of it being doubt- less intended to signity that they are considerably “in the dark.” From the Chief down they can give the reporters “theories,” and the latest of these is that the poor shirt maker, Lucette Armstrong, isn’t “the woman,” but “she knows more than sha will tell.” She has dwindled into the compara- lvely unimportant character of being ‘probably’? brought forward as a witness at the inquest om Tuesday next, But in the megntime she doesn’t tell the Chief or the District Attorney that she knows all about it, and they won’t admit any one eise to whom she perhaps would talk. Yesterday morning Mrs. Hubbell, the prisoner's Mother, prepared a bundie of clothing, and sent it over to the Brooklym Jail for her daughter. Mr. Hubbell, the aged father, gray haired and sirunken, was THE BEARER OF THE PARCEL, and was accompanied by Mr. J. D. McClelland, a lawyer, Wo has volunteered his services tur what- ever defence is necessary in Lucette’s benalf, The prisoner is continedin Raymond Street Jail, and permission to visit her for an instant éven was re- fused the old man. It was with some dificuity thut Mr. MeClelland prevailed upon the officials for admission to see ‘his client, and the very slender ground of refusal given was to the effect that she did not need counsel, as she was not exactly heid as a prisoner, but as a witness, He was finally ad- mitted, however, and had a brief interview with her, but the old father came away without even seeing his daughter through the bars, He was im Connecticut when she was arrested and has not seen her for more than a week. On Friday afternoon Mrs. Armstrong's younger sister Mary went over to Brooklyn to see Lucette, and, as she expressed it, “to see what they were doing with her sister Lucy.’ She also was REFUSED PERMISSION TO SEE HER, but, being of a decidedly vivacious and merry dis- position, even going so far as to intimate that she would “fly at them if they didn’t let her see her sister,” the officials compromised and ad mitted her, Two officers were close by her all the time she was in the roem with Lucette, and, as she says, “They were just trying to listen to alll suid and Spy out for something, and so I didn’t talk mucn, just to spite them.” While there, however, she read to Lucette aw extract from one of the papers, “just tu let her know what things they were sagan about her.’ Lucette sent word through Mr. Mcclelland yess terday to her mother not to worry about her, that she Was comiortable and hoped to be with her soon, She also sent werd to her littie sou thas “Mamma would come to him seon.’’ THE DETECTIVES all seem inclined to plead not guilty and think the papers have been rather rough on them, wich, of course, ig @ great pity. Itis undersicod that “a rentieman” who had seen the woman who was an jamate 01 Goodrich’s house called at the omice tu seq Lucettey, He thought he identifed her a8 “tre woman,” but Chief Campteil thinks he 18 mis- taken; so that gentleman is not considered the famous “reliable gentieman.”’ Tae autuori-ies yen= terday annoynced, however, that they believe they have astight clew which wil al them in the search for the parties they are 50 desirous of dis- covering. A HERALD reporter called yesterday afternoon at the fifth-floor apartments occugied by the Anbbeil family in the tenement house 46 Kivingten street. Mrs, Hubbell was bustling about preparing a meai, which the generosity of kind strangens had maimiy enabled her to procure, and Mr. Hubbell had just re= turned from Brovklyn and was taking breath after his bootless attempt to see nis daughter. He felt somewhat depressed at their refusal to admit him, and thought that he had at least some rigtis won the authorities should have respected. TH. YS BIG HEART.

Fifteen minutes passed, and the visitor arose, thrust iia hand in his pocket and trausferred some green tinted paper, with a kind pressure, to the hand of the old lady. Tears came again into her eyes, “Oh,” she said, “I hevert knew that there were #o many people tu the world who were kind to those in distress; but God, I hope, will biess them for it.
