The members of boit ciubs, on the Other hand, have little tme for practice, and ve im age and experience have little else to boast of Ther are, to be sure, some members of boat ciuos who do nothing else to the pastime; bul, fortuautely, taese individuals are few, and and as they bold roving commisstons and belong to many cinbs at the *awe time for the sake of the prizes they may ‘scoop in” during the rowing season, they are scarcely worthy of men- ter of time, and by making due alowance for the | difference between sixes and iwurs a correct es timite of superiority could be arrived ai. Let the amateurs, then, row througn the lanes. Let the start be made irom the point of snake Hill and terminate at the imaginary line across tue lake opposite the grand stand, It can then be sech who rows the fusiest—Corneil or the saverwycks, Oolumota Harvard or the Wan-Wuh-Sums and Yale or the Atalantas, @ PROBABLE CONTESTAN Little tine shoald now be tostis maxing prep- | aratioas jor the coming regiita.

The promise of a successful meeting is fair indeed. ach year nas added popularity to tis coming and won praise for its management. As with the college regatta order @istinguishes the manner of its proceediig, No anpleasant demonstrations or rowdy noisiness mar ita features or -sterfere with the true enjoy- ment of its pleasures. With the clove of the second meeting unmediate preparations for the grand INTERNATIONAL REGATTA over the water ol Saratoga Lake will commence ta reallty. Regarding this event it woula ve well to improve on the regulations of last year, and in order to secure a still greater degree of success than that which distinguished tne reyattas of 1873 end 1874 tt would oe well if tle Saratoga Rowing Association, under Whose direction it will be con- ducted, would coaosider the auvisability of having the race rowed over A STHAIGHTAWAY COURSE, instead of a turning one. With the majority of oarsmen @ turning rae is nos popwar. ‘he acct- * dents and touls and mishaps likely to occar in @ race im which tvere are turns are numerous. if these can be lessened, or, what ts sttil vecter, re- duced to the least possivie chance, a great ad- vantage ts gained 40 every oarsman engaged in the contest, as weil as giving greater satisfaction to the spectacors, So many unpleasant results have arisen in tarning bout races that It would be weil uf they were altogether done away with and the siraigntaway course be the oue of general adoption, #0 js the Troy, the Schuylkill, the Passaic and the Kis, Turmiog races are sometimes rowed over these courses; but popular, LEAVE THE LAN By vhis time it ts pretty generally conceded that Lake Saraloza is fast becoming tue national row- atta, the amateur oarsmen's races, ana, tu case of au international contea:, tue boating men of other countries, contesting with ours for suprem- acy wt the oar.

The Brazilian government, however, has gent up two transports to oring back the troops, in case the Paraguayans ratify the treaty, thas to fulfll the Convention of 1872, it 1s probable, then, that this government of Brazii has made up its mind to accept tts defeat if the treaty is ranfed, TREASURY AFFILIATION WITH A BREAKING BANK, ‘he developments of the serious 1033 caused to the Treasury by the protection given by the Min- ister of Finance to Visconde de Mand to support his banks has completely demoralized the Cabi- net, Besides $3,830,000 of returned bills it has come out that $500,000 of goid, deposited by the Brazilian government in the Montevideap branch, ‘wus used up by that bank during the run.on it; and that the Minister had allowed the Visconde to Keep in his haads for several montis the revenue colected in San Paulo and payable into the Lreas- ury at siX days, so toat the Treasury will lose very heavily by the Mand:& Vo,’s banks, as, though three years have been conceded lor winding up, 16 18 DOLorious Lnat the assets 01 the banks, though nomivally large and greatly in excess of the ha- per are not Ol @nature to realize with good result.
