Contest. to settle tn the usual way the always recurring and never finally decided question of superiority. Mainly in consequence of these races, however, rowing in the United States has been elevated into something between a fine art and a science, and for a loug time nas held a Conspicuous position among our nationa! sports. | In the twenty-two years waich Wave elapsed since the first College race, boating has undergone a great change, much so that the appearance of the Harvard crew and the eignt-oared barge Oneida, which carried off these early honors, would excite nothing but lauguter by the side of the slender cedar shells and trained crews which so often since have glanced like fishes uuder the shadows of Quin- Sigamond and the Connecticut, But it deserves to be kept ia mind that the excellence of to-day grows out of that earlier effort, and nearly a!l the snbsequent emulation which has so advanced both the style and strength of tue college crews 1s fairly traceable to the first slow race on Lake | It 1s by No means to be interred | Winnipiseogee. that the position whicn rowing has reached in our colleges has been without its trials and hardships, as the cultivation of the art required the severest exertion which successive college generations have undergone to give them that hardiness of | constitution necessary to properly fit them for the struggie so apt to tax the system more pitilessly than any otver continued physical strain, Again, the young men who, from time to time, have engaged in these eforts—men of manly qual- ities and ‘of intellectual gifts as well—have been Surrounded and beset by etlemies who couid or Would neyer see any virtue in this business of rowing races. Karly and late and on every occasion the unmuscular Christians made loud protests against the sport because of its possible tendency to dissipation, that the health, and therefore the capacity, of the students in the colleges longest engaged in boat- ing was much greater than before the pustime became popular, and persistently proclaimed that it and kindred athletic amusements work no good in an educational process. But, fortunately, this objection on the part of the “powers that be” in our universities no longer exists to any great ex- tent, and the Faculties of the majority of our dis- unguisned seats.of learning are inclined to promote rather than hinder tne yearly regattas. m Of tne Jatver class, I have reason to believe, is the tacuity o: Cornell University. From the time boaung was first fuses by the stu- denis aud ‘tue Cornell navy Was organized untu the presen:, its memvers have received that cuar- acter of practical encouragement which 1s always pleasant to youthiui enthusiasm and which stimu- lates to determined effort. And now the spirit of generous rivalry that exists among the more prominent o: the college oarsmen 1s educating them jor meritorious work in the future. Here are a Lumber of young men of fine physical devel- opment and oO! unlimited pluck, who are striving to become excellent oarsmen, and wno believe that there 18 ne spot im the world which aftords a Jaiver trial of the finest qualities of maunvod than a cutvereity boat race. Of such men winners are made. THE CORNELL NAVY. In the year 1871, believing that there was suf- ficient wuterial im the college to organize a boat- ing association, a iew ol the students went man- fuily to work and iounded the Cornell Navy. Tae enthusiasm created among their associates, and tue desire ty be taught the use of the oar, was sumicie t proof that a wise thing had teen done, and a step taken 10 the right direction. The mem- bersturp raptdiy increased, and soon the entire college, at some time or the otter, desived to wield The spruce; aud many elt thai they bail sutticient MTauscie to become skiliul handlers of the blade, | and at last driitinto some enviaoie niche in the temple of aquatic !ame. The young oarsmen were irrepressible, and although Obsiacies were cu- | countered, ‘they beyan tv accumulate property, and tus done, eXtensive preparations were for class rates, each crew working hard to secure tne victory in the inauguration of rowing contests on lovely Cayuga Lake, at the head of wiicd ruggedly picturesque Ithaca is situ- ated. A year passed on and the experiment had become an acknowledged fact. Now they have an elegant vogthouse on the “corner-of the lake,’? Jorty-two leet by seventy feet, and it is filled with Mne boats, consisting Of elght six-oared sbeils, oue slX-oured outrigged gig, ue elght- cared barge, one siX-oared barge, torce Single-scull —_ shelis, aud one Siugie-scull Working boat, the total invested values of land, Loatnouse and boats, being about $4,250, Tre ort- Cers of this association, Which has won au envia- bie reputation tor its devotion to the sport, are as 1oLows:—Commodore, Emuiitus ©, Kandall, 74, of Columbus, 0.; Vice Commodore, R, B.

Renewal of the Commercial Treaty of 1854. NEGOTIATIONS AT WASHINGTON. The Fishery Question To Be Finally Settled. TERMS OF THE OOMPACT. A Question of High Na- tional Importance. The negotiations which have been for some time in progress at Washington for reciprocity with Canada have progressed so far that a rough draft the Senate and the government of the Dominion. Few more important subjects could engage atten- tion than that of increasing our commercial rela- tions with our Northern neighbors, which, .under the provisions of the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854 (terminated by notice from the United States in 1866), had swelled to the enormous amount of $70,009,000 per annum. It will be remembered that, by the Treaty of Washington of May, 1871, certain fishing privileges were granted the United States in Canadian waters, to continue ten years; but inasmuch as Great Britain claimed that these privileges were of greater value than those ac- corded by the United States, and the assertion not being admitted by our government, it was pro- vided that commissioners should be appointed to determine what amount, if any, was to be paid the Dominion authorities, A lew months since a commissioner was sent out from London to act with an American commissioner in the settlement of this question. The former took Canada en route, and while there, it appears, it was suggested to him how much better it would be if the fishery and all other differences were merged in a new reci- and quick | {4 Myers, whom I did not see, are | have | | the colontes, the Cabinet were in iavor of makin, Soutnard is an oarsman that need not be watched, | as be cheerluily does his allotted duty, because he 18 enthusiastic in the Work. lightest man in the boat, but one of the best He is the smaliestand | King, wao wiil pull stroke, as he did last year, | can lay claim to the titie of Coruell’s strongest oar, aud iew wiil question lis fitness jor the im- portant positivn wach he holds. | THE JOINT HIGH COMMISSION, Of good height | and weight, he has muscie, piuck and brains to aid | him in the tryiog moment, and if the crew in the | race can well loliow nis elastic, regular, excelient sWing they need not be asiamed or their place at the finish, Such is Curneil’s University crew, and | 0: Whom Captain Ostrom remarked :—‘‘A few may Bay tnat some of us are clumsy, but I tell you aud | them all, look out!”?

This led to the opening of negotiations. Secretary Fish acts for the United States and Sir Edward Thornton, with whom ts as- sociated Hon. George Brown (a Dominion Sena- tor), for England and Canada. THE CANADIAN ENVOY. The selection of Mr. Brown seems to have caused dissatisfaction among the opposition party in his own country. It is alleged that the interests of the maritime Provinces will be sacrificed by him for the benefit of Ontario. It 1s true that since the gentleman entered into the political aréna he has been the champion of the rights of that Province as against Quebec, and during a stormy career has contended tor representation by population, while | the aid of his influential journal, the Toronto Glove, has added considerably to his power. Mr. Brown was a member of the Provincial Cabinet just as the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854 was about terminating, and resigned in consequence of a difference be- tween his colleagues and himself.on the mode of procuring a continuance ol it. In order to secure this result, which was of the first importance. to & good many concessions to the United States, an of accepting legisiative reciprocity if treaty re“1- procity could not be procured, rr. Brown would not agree to accept legislative reciprocity, which migat be terminated at any moment by Congress, and was-opposed to the making what ‘ne deemed unnecessary concessions. The result was, as stated, that he resigned, The opinion at this time very generally obtained in Canada that the United States, in terminating reciprocity, supposed th +t the colonists could not possibly Kurvive its loss, and that its abrogation must hasten annexation, Subsequently, as will be seen, the English government expressed its fear that the end of tne treaty was intended to be reliminary to an invasion and conquest of the Provinces. Mr. Seward, however, dispelled this illusion, All efforts to induce the American gov- ernment to a renewal of the treaty in any shape Were unavatiing. At the conferences of the Joint, High Commission in 1871 the British Commission- ers prososed that the Treaty of 1854 snould be re- stored in principle, and that if any modifications | in the varuf arrangements were made, the coast- ing trade of the United States and tae Dominion should be reciprocally thrown open, and that the navigation of the River St. Lawrence and of the Canadian canals snould be also thrown open on terms ol equality. The American Commissioners declined the proposal, j THE DOMINION ARGUMENT. | This refusal it might be considered would be looked upon as final, but the Dominion govern- Ment seems to have veen resolved to make one | more effort. ‘Ihe recent arrival of the Fishery Commissioner afforded the opportunity, In the } Meantime the new Canadian Ministry collected a ) large amount Oo! iniormation respecting the fish- | ertes, They caused tavies to be drawn up to prove | that the United States had been the gainer by ree | trade in times past and that they would profit by reciprocity in the juture. They showed also that | Canada can prosper though the productions of her sou and her fisheries are excluded from American markets. The Dominion authorities, it appears took great pains to impress on our government that they did not send Mr. Brown to beg lavors, but to treat | on equal terms witn Mr, Fisa concerning a matt of mutual beneilt to both countries, and that in re- | ality Canada without reciprocity made proportion- | ately greater progress than she did with it, Some | Canadian writers declare tuat its loss scarcely | Yatsed an adverse rippie on the current of their | prosperity. Its operations swept away all surplus: Jarm stock and placed cue country in an admirable josition Lo start forward on its own account. The joss Ol reciprocity, they hoid, greatly tended to suumulate Coniederation and rendered the prospect of annexation infinitely more remote than it was ever before. RESULTS OF FREE TRADE. It 18 clear, nowever, that Mr. Brown and the present Canadian Ministry appreciate the great importance of iree trade With the United States, buf tnere is reason to believe that they over esti- Inate considerably the value of their tisheries, In 1871 the American Commissioners were only willing to offer one miilion dollars asasuitable sum for the rivilege of fishing on the coasts oF the Province! The advantages to the Dominion o! a new treaty are apparent enough. The demand ‘or timber and lumber was very large trom 1865 to 1860. ‘Trade otherwise bétweeu Canada and the United States ‘Was greatly increased while the Reciprocity Treaty remained in operation. The imports from the United States, whicn in 1851 was $8,365,000, had risen in 1856 to $22,700,000, and notwithstanding the disastrous financial reverses of 1857-'60, and the war in 1861, they amounted in the latcer year , bo over $21,000,000, The exports from Canaaa in 1851 were $4,071,000; five years later they mcreased to $18,000,000; in 1860 they were $18,500,000, and | amid all the atsturbing Influences o1 1861 they reached $14,386,000, The movement of goods out- | ward and inward on the St. Lawrence, a trattic | which har been greatly mereased by the aboli- | Vion of tolls and transit duties on that river, in 1859 | Showed even more rapid progress. In 1859 tne | exports via the St. Lawrence were $8,821,000, while in 1861 they reacued $22,6v0,000- The imports by suite route were in 1859 $11,549,000, aud in 1S61 they had risen to $17,200,000, The tonnage in 1ss9 Was 641,662 tous, aud tiat of 1861 1,059,000 tons, | O1 the exports im 1861 no less than $3,500,000 were grain sent from the Western States to Lurope | by that river, THE TREATY OF 1854, | By the stipwiauons of the Reciprocity treaty of | 1854 the mbavitants of the United States were to | have, in common with British sabjects, the liberty to tuke fisi of every kind except sveli isn on the Canadian coasts, without being restricted to any distance Jrom the shore, With permission to land for the purpose of drymg their nets aud curing | their fish; provided that, im 80 doing, they did not | interfere with the riguts ol private property.

He said, “The restrictive policy in regard to Canada, which we were com: elled to adopt, to counteract aggressions from ritish Provinces and ports, seem to be regarded as a iresh proof of the inimical purpose reierred to, While @ supposed general uniriendiiness on my own part is assumed in justification of the suspicion, * * * Even if there nad been no disturbance of our freudly relations with Canada or Great Britain, the late reciprocity treaty could not have been continued beyond its appointed time without being modified s0 easentially as to require sink THOROUGH REVISION OF THE coMPact, and that such a revision would necessarily involve @ suvmission of the whole subject to not only the Senate, but to the Congress of the United States, Tn my opinion it would be utterly unavailable ta atiempt to negotiate with Great Britain a treat; of reciprocal trade between the United States ani Canada while this civil war continues, with Great Britain in her prssent attitude, recognizing the in- surgents as belligerents, and thus dérogating the United States from their accustomed sovereignty over all the territory and all the citizens of the Republic. Perhaps ic is not ‘mproper to add that in no case does this government contemplate war ageinst Great Britain, whether for Cauada or an: other object. But, on the other hand, 1 re and must continue to insist tnat the United St cannot consent to endure indetinitely the injuries resulting, directly and indirectly, {rom the present policy of Great Britain.” EFFECTS OF ITS TERMINATION. As the period drew near for the terminetion of the Reciprocity treaty (March, 1868) a large num. ber of American dealers in larm stock and produce visited the colonies and made extensive pur. chases, The various international ferries were crossed with droves of cattle, sheep and horse’, af ifa hostile army had overrun Canada, while tue rallroads in every direction were taxed to their ut most limits to meet the needs of produce buyers, ‘There was some disturbance of trade. ‘The New England States, accustomed to the cheap market of Canada, had to look elsewhere for suppiles. The brewers of New York and Pennsylvania expe rienced meconvenlence in obteining barley, and woollen and worsted manulacturers found it dist. cult to replace the staple they had hitherto drawn abundantly Jrom the British possessions, Bué the Canadians sunered to a very greatextent. The treaty had enriched their country and afforded them a most profitable market ior their cattle ana produce, and during the past elght years they have sought in every way to have tue compact renewed, THE PRESENT TREATY. ‘The former averston to renewing free trade with the Provinces, so strongly stated by Mr, Seward, has lessened to a remarkable degree. ‘Tree years ago Mr, Fish would not listen to the proposition, in New rngiland it is understood the teeling is very much in favor of reciprocity, and, a8 many of the viticulties thatat one time existed have been cleared away, it is most likely the negotiations no Mm progress at Washington will resuit in @ treaty matuaily..beneticial to both Powers, In ths the terms agreed upon are reported to be ag lollows:— ‘The waiver of the money compénsation by the United States tor the fisueries under the Washing» ton treaty. i ‘the Canadian canals, trom Lake Erie to Mon- treal, to be enlarged within three years at the cost of Canada, so a8 to admit the passage of vessels 260 feet im length and 45 feet in breadth, and with @ depth equal to the capacity of the lake narbors. ‘That durmg the continuance of the treaty all the Canadian canals and the Erie, Whitehall, Saulte Ste. Marie and Lake St. Clair Canals shall be open to the vessels and boats of both countries on tne same conditions and terms. ‘That the tree navigation of Lake Michigan be put on the same terms as the free navigation ol the St, Lawrence River. ‘That the navigation of the St. Clair Flats shall be maimtained at the expense of votn. countries in proportion to thei commerce thereon, ‘That the products of the larm, torest, mines and waters, and also animals, meats and products of the dairy, be admitted into both countries free, as | provided in the treaty of 1854. Agricultural imple- ments, Manulactures of iron aud steel and of wood, mineral ois, salt and: some other articles may be included. ‘This would constitute a comprehensive and Hb- eral arrangement, amounting almost to absolute free trade between the United States and the Dominion. le It-18 understood that the following propositions made by the British and Canadian representatives were not acceded to by Mr. Fish:—a reciprocity of patents issued in one country binding in the other; reciprocity of privileges ur vessels engaged in fhe coasting trade and of register of vessels—that that the vessels vi either country should have the same rights and privileges in the ports of the other that domestic shipping have, and that register in ould be recoguized in the other = having tae same effect as though it occurred ere. COMMANDING IMPORTANCE OF RECIPROCITY. The consummation of such a treaty as that of 1854 has been urged by boards of trade and cham- bers of commerce in different parts o: the country, ‘The New England press are unautmouus Im favor of it. The Produce Exchange ot New Youk recently passeu resolutious approving of the proj+ct, and the Boston Board of ‘Trade has made a sironz ap- eal to ihe government to conclude, without de jay, an arrangement ip which New England as well as the country ut large has a commanding inter. est. Itis averred that a reciprocity treaty would be a blessing to both countries; that the commerce and trade that now exists, amounting to $80,000,000 annually, would be speediiy doubied, if unresiricted intercourse couid ve had, considering the grand connections of the great lakes, riveis and railroad systems, As already statea, it 1s in the Kasiern States the stronzest Jeeling prevaila for free trade with the provinces. In that section numerous connections by rail have been added to those already ¢Xisting, In apticipation of arecurn two reciprocity. ‘ese enterprises, according to the Boston /ost, huve not met the success ex- pale for the reason that tariffs and Custom ouse charges retard tne development and divert the current of trade, which are the results or the abrogation of the treaty of 1854. THE OUTLET FROM MONTREAL to the ocean closes and opens ater than the canale that connect it with the West; consequently tor more than hal{ the year American ports are the shortest routes througn which grain, provisions and the products of the forest that come to Mont- real can be jorwardaed, and also the shortest routes through which that city can draw supplies jor its interior trade. Under reciprocity Boston would probaniy bear the same relation to Montreal that ew York now bears to Onicago. As a@ sea port Montreal can never be a success, but as a growing distrivuting point, drawing irom New York and Boston its supplies and shipping through Easterp ports, its prosperity would be advantageous to all. Tne abrogation of the Reciproc.ty Treaty forced on Montreal expensive efforts for a direci* toreign commerce ; the renewal of reciprocity will give the outlet by the cheapest route the prosperity 1¢ ought to have, EFFECT OF ABROGATION ON TRADE. The former treaty, us mentioned before, was in force from 1856 to 1868, and during that period the main of the United States—the balance of trade bemg continually in our favor—is estimated at $95,000,000. Since its termination the exchaages between the two countries have greatly diminished, so that at the present time. alter the lapse of nearly eight years, notwitustanding the increase 1m wealth and population of ooth countries, the aggregate reciprocal trade is less per annum than it Was 1u 1866, Some statistics have ween given above, and to these muy be added the following. ‘The total vaiue of exports and imports of the United States to and from the Bit orth Amert- cao provinces in 1565-'66, the last year of the treaty, Was $84,070,000, The next year 1866-67 it Was Dut $57,927,000. In 1568-69 it further declined to $56,287,000. In 1871-72 it increased = to $78,000,000, and for 1872-73 it was $82,381,625 or nearly $2,000,000 less than the last year of the treaty of 1854, In 1864-65 we sold tue inhabitants of the provinces goods, wares and merchandise to the amount of $82,653,000; in 72 our aggregate sales to the same peuple Were $2.769,0.9. Had commerce been left free or with lew restrictions, wuo can doubt that instead of a paltry $200,000 Our annual saies would have showy an increase of trom $12,000,000 to $15,000,000? Had the oid treaty been continued the same lavorabie baiances that were exhipited year alter year while it was “in force would now have reached $180,000,000, which leaves an aggregate loss to the country, since 1866, of $85,000,000. ‘These figures speak Volumes and suggest the remedy, Mr. Brown has returned to Canada. and it is, therefore, almost certain that a treaty, such us the interests of the United States and tue Dominion require, will be forthcoming. = The Reciprocity “Treaty Before the Privy Council=Threatened Uprising of the Cree Indians, OTTAWA, Ont., June 3, 1874.
