The Londen Sportsman, February 12, bas the follow. tng comments regarding the English University boat | race: — We are giad to see that the reserve four at Cambridge contains Dale, of Lady Margaret, and Fairbairn, of Jesus. | 11 at least shows that these two men, thougn not, so far, 4 | promoted to the eight, are ager en as better men than Greenbank, of St. wf Lady Margaret, both of whom haa» few days ago to be recognize: heen preferred to ‘the first two named, but who now | figure m neither eight nor four, A still better step has been taken in the introduction of Hockin to the right, at No. 8 at first and subsequently at No. 4, Le siderable strength into the boat, for there should be no two opinions as to the amount of work done by Hockin compared to that of whieh Greeabank seemed capabla, We, however, still stick to our foruner opinion that the crew will not be made up at its best till out of Dale, | Michell, and Fairbairn, ab least two, and possibly all | ‘bree, are introdaced to the eight lo the exclusion ot wome of those now rowing. The chance of | Rhodes rowing again seems to become more aud more remote, and this is especially to be regretted, as a | stroke is very much wanted, to inspire hie and dash lute the crew. We must say shat we are disap- | pointed of late with Shafto’s stroke; we liked what we saw of it m the Trial eights last December at Little- | port, but since then it has become quite sluggish; de- | vent iB catch, and deficient in Fecovery both of | | handy and body. This sluggishness impregnates all the men behind him, and we feel sure tbat Shafto would show to much more advantage if he were to row behind some other oarsmen, even behind one in- ferior to himself in general style.’ We are inclined to | \bink that be bas spoiled himself by trying to row wo slow # stroke; be bas made lus siroke slow in obe- | dence to orders, bat has done so, not by dimintening the pace of his swing forward but by slackening the | pace of bis oar in the water, and by hanging with both | ‘rms and body at the finish ofthe stroke The slow. | ness 1s acquired by these artificial means; when once | be bogins to swing forward, his body moves as fast as | Ke would at a stroke of thirty-two a minute if rowed without bang, yet all the while be is rowing little more than twenty-five a minute. This habit of hanging, if not soon checked, will ingrain itself not onlyin him, bus aise in the.whole crew, and when they hereafter come | oracing the time lost in banging, and exertion ex- | ed in bucketing forward to make up for that lost | me, will then tell most seriously against them. hore is till time to remedy all these ebortcomings, wut still time flies and reforms should not be post poned too long. Weare not at all sure that Lewis would not make a good stroke, Either he or Fair- bairn in that place, with Shatto removed to No. 7 or would, we believe, soon wake up the crew the style from death to life Unless roke wonderful powers of cleverly balancing his body forward on the recovery, with a measured swing, yet witheat any loss of time with hands or body, be ald not attempt anything slower than twenty-ni @ stroke as this last named is quite slow epough for ordinary verre and serves to prac lice men without distress 8 em to such an extent as to make them too exhausted to attend to the admoni- tion of their coach and to the faults in their form. However, now that Cambridge bave begun with one good reform, we shall hope that they red om the up line, and that by the Still greaier improvement may be visible in the crew. Oxford have Bad their practice broken inte to some extent by the indisposition in turt of Miller, of Exeter, an¢ Willams, of Corpus, They bave, how », even with these interruptions, presented tar more settled appearance than their rivals have done, However, mere do pot work much harm at this early period of practice. So long as acrew is well settled when training begins there is coe A of tune lef them 4 get them into time and swing. Michison and Bou- sad have been changed over each from one side of the boat te the other, and now occupy respectively on the same sides that they beld in the race of year. The new boat was tried last Thursday, bot do not anticipate that her launching was more than ‘8 trial or that she wili really be brought into use for some time to come The crew are by n0 means so well together as to be ripe for her. We fancy that ‘bey bave been falling into the opposite extreme error to that adopted by Cambridge, and have rowing rather too fast astroke of laa They | certainly bave not got together so mach as they ought ring the past fortnight Too fast » are reasonably fit only bas the effect woom as they become pumped, fall into all thei errere ad become hardened in them instead of amond- ng them.’ The crew is @ particularly powerful one, sud it-will be a pity if its elegance shoald be marred by tow much bucketing at that period of practice when attention should be conimed more to amending faults | of style than to acquiring condition. There is plenty of time to look after the latter after Ash hoon § das passed. Th ht built by J. HB. Clasper, whic thoy are using, is » very light sbip for ber size, and | A to get too using at imum pace desirable at & clinker buil€ boat ts jm use. Care should always be taken not to pull a crew 40 pieces by overwork before the time comes for ac- celerating the stroke to racing pace, The latter need ot be commenced till about the last two weeks of traiming, and the more acrew bas studied uniformity meaniine, at a slow stroke, the better chance has it of Keeping that uniformity when the pace has to be in- creased. Taken as a whole the style of Oxford » bo Jivelier than Cambridge, both in the matter of dash at the beginning of the stroke and in quick recovery of hand and jes at the Gnish; but still it is not all that could be desired, and in the latter point a little more briskpese would improve all the men, from stroke up- ward The siroke is long at starting; but at times, when !t has been too fast, there ie 4 tendency to get ubort at the end of & long spell The remedy for this ‘iW, af we pointed out above, a slower rate of siroke in ti] the meu get thoroughly ft.

ENLARGING THE MAIN BUILDING—AGRICULTUBAL HALL TO BE DONE IN FIFTEEN DAYS—LO, THE POOR INDIAN. Pumapevrnia, Feb, 25, 1876, The applications for space in the main building have been 80 numerous and so far beyond the anticipations of the Commissioners that the requests of 800 Ameri can exhibitors for space were obliged to be thrown aside, after 3,000 had been accomodated in the United States Department, In view of these demands the Board of Finance has just decided to erect four annexes to the main building. The contracts were awarded yesterday. The four new buildings will be each 150x50 feet, situated along the southern side of the main building, and constructed in the general style of that edifice. AGRICULTURAL HALL. ‘The present unfinished condition of the agricultural Duilding, one of the largest of the principal exhibition structares, bas caused some uneasiness as to its being ready in time for the opening of the Exhibition, now Jess than ten weeks distant. The contractor, however, has just assured Mr. Welsh, President of the Board of Finance, that he will have the structure completed in fifteen days, * This building was the last one on which work was commenced, and has been unfortunate in being twice injured by gales of wind. THR NETHERLANDS. The Kingdom of the Netherlands will be handsomely represented by a collection of original books, nee: ings, maps and penodicals, mostly from Rotter These articles will be arranged in tasteful cases, sur- mounted by busts of the prominent poets and authors of the country, Some ideaof the extent and value of this contribution may be bad from the fact that the shelves will contain 1,800 books published ip recent years upon educational topics alone, besides which there will be many scientific works. THE NOBLE RED MAN. There is a prospect that our red brethren will be fully represented at the Centennial Professor Baird, who bas had the matter in charge, has perfected arran, ments for a grand eneampment, which will be ed by some thirty or more tribes who have signified ir acceptance, | A young friend whe had just arnved from th tes and Arrapahoes states that there ts xeited in their midst by the discussion upon the great event. Washington, the chief of the Utes on the line of the Kansas and Pacific Railway, and whose jurisdiction extends to the boundary of New Mexico, is a dignified and quite nie hgent old gentleman, and it would not be su: he would be here in the early spring. Care will be exercised in the selection of the tribes, #0 that no im- morality will be witnessed, and cleanliness, it is to be soe oa be insisted upen—a virtue not in vogue on ns, A CALIPORNIA QUARTE MILL. ‘There will be on exhibition a miniature quartz stamp mall, Thie will be of the finest mille ever con- tructed, the engine to be a four inch bore with eight Inch stroke.

THE CHESS TOURNAMENT. ‘The subscriptions to the chess prizes are 1D satisfactorily, and in order to make the tournamen still more interesting the Boston Chess Club have s0- lictted the Governors of States and Territories to give prizes, terming them Governor's Prizes, to be awarded at the tournament during the Exposition.
