The Oxford-Cambridge race will be rowed to-day, April 3. There will be six old men in the Oxford boat, while only two of the Cambridge eight rowed last year. The average weight of each crew is about 172 lbs. The crews are very equally matched, but with the advantage slightly in favor of Oxford.

Judging from their flattering reception elsewhere the concert ought to be very enjoyable. Mr. Darling and Mr. Tourtellot will sing solos, and Mr. Adler will warble, among the other attractions; it is a pity that the recess will deprive many Harvard men of the pleasure of listening to them.

It is reported that the arrangements for the appearance of Booth and Salvini together have been perfected Booth will play Iago, Hamlet and Edgar, while Salvini's parts will be Othedo the King and Lear. The engagement will begin on May tenth at the Boston Theatre.
