THE NEWS have informed our readers of tho defeat or the Harvard by tho Oxford crow. Tho raco was so grand and Btirring au affair that the particulars will be read every? where with interest. LONDON TUBNB OUT. A telegram dated London, Friday afternoon, says: t Over ODO million persons witnessed tho great -n te mat i on a I race between Harvard a ml Oxford to-day. Thc excitement was unprecedented. London city was almost'entirely dosortcd, and business was totally noglectod. Bverybody talked ?bout tbe raco, and everybody wore either tho Oxford or Harvard colors. From carly tu tho morning until lato in tho afternoon vehicles of all duoCriplions, hoavily laden wilh sweltoriug pcoplo, crowded all tho roads lo id inn to tho course. Tho day was hot. and tho crowd was bot. Tho roads in the vicinity of Putney, Hammersmith, Chiswick, Hamey,"Mort? lake, ?cc., vero thronged with pedestrians. Tho railway companies found themselves almost nnablc to provide cai 8 sufficient to carry tho vest numbers in waiting at tho depot. Dukes, coslormongce, priuuos, cordwainors, lords, fishmongers, earls, and roughs poured to tho river bank in one conglomerated mass. Many ladies wero present. Rooms commanding viows of the courso were rented at fabulous priccB. 6otH0brought as high niXlOO. SCENES ON TBE HIVER. Tho etoamer London Prido was anchored . abreast of the Thames Conservatory yacht. I The Pnn co of Wales, it is affirmed, stood upon her dook sm DU oded by several members of thdroyal family. All carried large lorgnettes. The umpire's boat was but a few feet distant. Thomas-Hughes, Ibo umpire, was surrounded by a group of distinguished gentlemen, amone them Mri Gladstone, Hui wer Lytton, the Count do Paris, John Stuart Mill, Charlea Reade, and others. Tho arrangements belnir under tho directions of the Thames Conservators, tbat body of gentlemen exerted themselves to tho utmost to insure "a lair Hold and no favor" for the two crows. The captains of steamboats on the.river wore served with printed mstruo tions forbidding them to come boy end a mark mapped ont by buoys aoroes tho river, and tbe river police were active in keeping back and arresting tho progress of craft tbat no ,v and again shot out bey. nd tho prescribed limits. Infant, tho arrangements wera as perlcot as mortal .man could inako thom. CONDITION OP THE CHEWS. Tho -Harvards remained in their quarters during the greater part of tbe dav. A great many American and English gentlemen called upon them, but tow wero admitted. It was freely assertod that the American crow were overtrained. Tho condition pf ?immouH and Luring waa tbo subject bf frequent eommont. Thc former was suffering from diarrhoea, and tho lat tor wds troubled with au angry boil. Tbo American crew, however, wero quite confident. Blaiklc and Xosh Ward' wore milling faces, and occasionally' took the - long odds offered on t lie English crew. Kelley was cool and calcu? lating, and said but little. Somo of tho mem? bers ot the American Legation appeared des? pondent, but with this exception, all seemed confident of a tight race, with a good squaro chance for au American viclury. During the day ti; J Oxfords kept quiet. None but favored frionds were welcomed to their headquarters. A fow Ot tho English nobility and a half dozen boatingnion and collegians re? mained with them unlil late iu tho afternoon. All of their friends wore enthusiastic, and freely oifcrod two to one on their success. '1 ho crew wero in tip-top' condition. They based their hopes af victory upon tnt ir superior bot? tom. lt waa generally cone3Jed that Ha-vard would take tho lead aud keep lt as far as tho Hammersmith Bridge. "But they can't atay," said Yarborough, "you may be Bare of il." Ibis seemed to be the general opiDion of tho vast massea of Englishmen that Unod the banks of the river. THE BLTTINCJ AND THE SPECTATORS. The Thames was fringed with yelling spec? tators. Every available boat and housetop was covered witb men and women. Tho betting was heavy. The long odds offered on Oxford was freely taken by the Americans and some of the Eugliab. Holly aaya tbat over a million f ounds sterling were wagered in London alone Many of tne ladies wore the magenta colors of Harvard, and ventured sovereigns on tbe skill and endurance of the Americans. THF. CHEWS ON THE HTVEB. Thu Oxford.crew gilded ont of the London boathouse at a quarter of lour. Their appear anco was the signal for an immonee cheer, which was carried up and down both batiks of the river tor milos. As they paddled toward the Star and Gaiter their long sweeping body stroke elicited soother cheer, and drew ont thousand exclamations of admiration. The ann was shining brightly, and tbo water was nearly sa smooth as a mirror. Scarcely breath ot air was stirling. Tho otra of the sturdy Englishmen rose and fell like the steady sweep of au eagle's wing. Their bodies were bare and thou skins were well tanned. Torn ing off. at the Star and Garter, they swept down lo the starting-poat at Putney Bridge where another cheer monoted tbe air and was wafted np the river. Their stroke was moder ate and their faces bore the cairn, imper tur bed look peculiar t ? English sporting men. ' Five minn es elapsed. The Harvards spurted ont in the stream. Another cheer fl-; if over Ibo v.ipt multitude, but it lacked the volume ot ita predecessor. Naked to tho waist and bronzed, -tbe shoulder-blades of the Harvaids rolled in their sockets, and their oars took tho water with marvellous preolsi n. Down toward the stake-boat they sped with tbe grace of waterfowl. Tho multitude waved theix hand? kerchiefs, and sent tpabmodio cheers in tue wake of tne gallant crew. 7 bo Oxfords spoke not a word as the Ha vania ranged themselves at their aide. 1 he vast crowd became breath lets with excitement. "OFF, a E NT LEM EN I" : Tho tiny sterns of the opeir-like boats vero ranged on a lovel. Tho crews held their oars in readiness. Not even a whisper was heard A slight nervousness, however, was observed in tho movements .of Simmons. Lor ID g sat like a sta Ino, eager-eyed and immovable Little Burnham furtively glanced at the Oxford coxswain, and silently awaited tho word. Tho Eogliah crow ?at with thoir bodios bont to tho Iront and arms extended, stolid, and apparent? ly indifferent. Tho Harvard crow bad won tbe toss for the position, and chose tbe Middlesex sido, tho outside of the ne ml-circle. It waa five o'clock, fourteen minutes, and six and bab! seconds. The tido waa sluggish, and light southwest breeze prevailed, with tho wa ter as smooth as a mirror. There was a mo mont of dead silence. '?Off, gentlemen 1" said tho starter, in ? olear bass voioe. And tboy- were off-off like tho wind. The Judges clicked tho springs of their watches At the same moment an anxious spectator knocked Tom Hughes' bat into tho water with bis elbow. Ibe Harvards wore first to catch tbs water and took the lead, galniog rapidly upon their opponents, making forty-flvo strokes per nwnnte against the Oxfords, forty TB? Hi CB. v*'i There was a Salter among tbe mt multi fade lining the banka aa tho Harvards sped the front. A million eyes wore' fixed npon tbojr flashing oais. At Bishop's Creek, three furlongs from the bridge, they had[gained half a length and were still gaining. Then; quick stroke seemed to sing a song of triumph. They reaobed the Willows, and the stern of their boat was even witb .the bow 6f the Oxford's Here there waa tva evident slack in their speed, and the Oxfor J? crept np a quarter of a length A nest of cheers from Beverly rang oat a story of English satlsfactiou. Three quarters of a a mile waa thrown- to the rear, and still the Americans..held-, a .good 'lead. Craven Point tbe Oxfords doggedly main tamed their provoking steaVjy drag, while * . . *-.-.- J?iu ?th . o. 1 . . . T. S tbe Harvards apartad ahoad Uko mad. Dunc; Wharf and Hose Cottage flow by, A streak ? of daylight was opened bet wean tbo two boats. Tbo gap was inoroasod, until at Crab? tree, a milo and an oigbth from tbo start. At tbe aqueduct, ibo Americans were folly two lengths alica/'. Tnoy wera pulling at tbo rato of forty-three BtrokcB por minute, tho Oxfords holding their own at thirty-bight strokes. Abovo the point, tho coxswain ot tho Harvards hugged tho Miudlesox t-horo, and the Oxfords slightly quiokonod their spend. At the soap works, a milo and a half from tho aqueduct, thoy bad closed tliocap, and Harvard bold a load of half a length by tho skin of their tooth. UAMJBEUSMITH nnmoE Was dead abood, and both boats wero going for it Uko terrified water spidors. Tho bridge was roached, and a subdued murmur from tho 8|K>ctators abovo roached the ears of the row? ers ss they entered its Mi a io'7. From tho soap works to tho brid go Harvard went with magnificent speed, Lnit iu shooting tho bridge, thoir distance was lost. Opposite tho middlo wall tho Oxtords spurted and carno up gradu? ally to tho Harvards, but when opnoeito "tho Dove*," tho boats were lound lo bo too close together, ami hbo Harvards gavo way. At Cbtsw.ck Ail" (two ano a half milos) tho boats were "level." After preceding fifty yards further, tho Oxl jr .ls bonan tv gam, though temporarily, sud tbo Harvards again got even with thom. Oxford trained rapidly nt Ohlswic't where.lt became clear Inst tho uaco apparently loldon tho Harvarde, who wore rather wild at thu part of tho race From Ibis point the 0XT3UDS RAPIDLY DBEW AU EAD, nnd in a -few strokes obtained aleadofswc lengths. Thc Harvards rowing pluckily, held thom thoro for a halt-a-'mik). when they foll astern, and Oxford at thirty-eight strokes pei minuto, shot Barnes'Bridge, (8| milos,) tb rec lengths ahead. * v Along Harnes' Beach tho Harvards refreshed their s tr uko (Mr. Luring j with river water theicby roi ar ding tbe boot. The American; then tried to spurt, but found tho effort in oflectuol, and tho Oxfords getting more of ^ load, eventually won tbo race by four lengths easing u,i tu tho last low strokes and pulling up frosh. The Oxfordnrrived at tho ebipstfive o'clock 36 minute.-, 47 seconds, making the four milei aud-ft-balt in 22 minutes,seconds. TUB DEFZAT. When the gun sounded, the Harvard crow after a moment's rest, drew up by the sido o the Oxford boat, and applauded their viotori by clapping their bandi. Tho Oxonians ac? knowledged this by taking off their bats. Tin greatcB- enthusiasm was manifested, and fron the Englishmen on tho umpire's boat and tht boat for tho presa-tho only two accompany ing tho race-there weio 'oheers .given fo: Harvard. Having paid their roipejts to their ?ppo nents. the Harvard crew embarked on ' i Btcamor. Tho Oxford craw, whioh soomci bul little lat iguod, rowed back to Putney, at tended by tho press a teamer Sauflower, wbiol announced their victory to the crowded shore by raising th Oxford ?bovo tbo Harvard col ors. Tho ovation they received waa a pro longed cheer passing from Mortlake to London lt is behoved that no cru .vd HO immense ovo before Rathered on tho Thames. Among tb Sags many were American, and tao of th largest of these were waved by tbo victorian! orcw. ?On return tho feeling bstween thc adherent of thc two sidos was very friendly, on accouc or tho ox raordlnary caro taken by nil, thal th Harvard should bnvo nothing to complain o WHT IT WAS. There are various t ho iries of tho causo c Harvards failures. It is rumored that tbel diet has been lately vegetarian, bnt it is uc trae. Luring ?B criticised for not having Enr. lisb coaching; Burnham for bad steering, bi many good jiidgeu declaro that the race wa almost a repetition ot the race betwoon tb English universities, and Harvard failed bi cause its stylo ?B that of Cambridge. 0DD3 AND ENOS. Among thc Americans who witnessed Ut race wero Consuls Dudley and Morse, tho Hot 6. H. Cox, Messrs. Welker, Alotgan, Hturgi and Wilkes. Tho American press was large] l'optesontcd, and a number of English lltoiai mon were present. A eood deal of mono/ wai lost by bets bein taken when Oxford wita behind. Tho lovgei loss by an Arnot icon was lour hundred pouud An effort was mad : to lout Oxford. It wi be investigated.

Kelly, the coach, declares lhat the lack aciontifie rowing nnd bad steering lost t race. On the press boat there wt-o only til persons, to which ibe number was limited the Thames Conservancy. Among those on representing American Journals were Dice Cbickson, Kirwan, Smalley, and ono Wilk was on the umpiro'a boat. No question w raised before the umpiioe, who were Galstc captain of the London Bowing Clnb, for t Harvard crew, and Chu ty .for the Oxford ero Hughes being the referee. Fay, of the Harvard crew, made dosporn efforts to alter tho tido of affairs, and altuouf the coxswain threw water over bia men a roused them to frosh exertions every minn they gradually fell astern. Then they put i another spurt, and rapidly drew up to tb competitors, but it died out, and Oxford pi served the leaJ. A KEW-RACE HOOTED. Ono of tbo members of the Harvard ere in telegraphing the result of the race to & re' ti ve iu New York, slates ibat the complaint wJ n bi ch simmons was Buffering both before a during tho race manifested itself most strong when their boat reached tho Soap Works, willoh time Harvard was leading by Bomotui over s length. Simmons did not pull wi anything Uko his accustomed swoop and vig snd seemed to bo actually suffering. At 1 finish, and immediately after t< e signal g announced tho termination of tho race, staggered and fell back, and was only sav from falling by being caught by a member ol I crew. His illness, diarrhoea, we, ? the eau and had during the race a vieible effect on I decreased speed of tbe boat, After tbe race a proposition was advanced have another trial m one week's time*.' 1 Oxford partially agreed to the proposition. it-, however, a matter of great nncertaii whether off urta to that effect wilt be success! THE PEWS Ul WSg YOEE. ' At the ROld-toom, in New York, the first.i pat ch received was from tho Associated Fri announcing that Oxford had. won by th lengths. This dispatch waa resolved with g eral sensation ana disgust that tho memt took no pains to conceal. Shortly after a mor spread about that the dispatch bad b incorrectly transmitted, and that it was re the Harvard boys that had won by tt lengths. Thin announcement created t no w eat excitement, and oheor upon obeer rent air from Ibo assembled multitude. Anon', time this rumor had become woll circula and the excitement w ia reaching a high pi a respectable and well-known membar of boara rushed to tho president's doss, bole s dispatch in his hand. Tbe dispatch wai once found to confirm the rumor that thu I varJs bad won tho race. A sanguino op tor offered $100 against $5 that .Han had . won, 'and for some little lime tl was a rivalry among the gentlemen who \ tim s expressing their faith in the plucky 1 across the water, lt waa not until a lotter received from Mr. Slmontera, explaining the dispatoh received was a forgery, that excitement dlcApot.
