Oxford-Cambridge. - As the last annual race between these universities is now a matter of history, and as the daily papers have given a full account of the contest in detail, we deem it unnecessary to do more than say that Oxford won an easy race by thirty-five seconds.

Henley Regatta. - The action of the Henley committee in compelling all American crews to enter six weeks before the regatta, and pay their entrance-fees then, is condemned on all sides. No reason can be assigned for such a step save that the English amateurs do not wish to row against oarsmen who are mechanics, and do not come under the head of "gentlemen" as they define the word. Either this or a wholesome fear of American oarsmen has influenced the regatta committee in taking this very unfair and unsportsmanlike stand.

It will result in entirely debarring American rowers from the Henley regatta; the Watkins Glen regatta comes off so short a time before Henley that it will be next to impossible for the winning crews at Watkins to enter and start at Henley. Besides, this arrogant committee reserves the right of rejecting any entry! So that a crew on the eve of the race might find itself ruled out, and no reasons assigned. Truly English love of fair-play has been sadly overpraised.

The Convention. - That convention of colleges which was to have been held on March 27 at Springfield fell through entirely, Williams being the only college represented. Wesleyan, who organized the convention, was not represented because her delegates were detained by examinations. The other colleges profess lack of funds and want of interest, hoping, however, for a congress next year. We shall see what will result.

The following may interest our bicyclists: -

In 1873 two gentlemen started on a journey from London to York by horse, distance 195 1/4 miles. One of the horses died midway on the road, and the other, after being braced up by twelve bottles of wine, accomplished the journey in 40 h. 35 m.

In 1876 a gentleman of the Pickwick Bicycle Club rode his machine over the same course in 22 h. 30 m.
