The boat race between the representative crews of Oxford and Cambridge is rowed annually on the river Thames. This year's race was noteworthy, not only on account vf the breaking of the record in point of speed of the contestants, but as énabling the London press to carry out sucessfully a remarkable piece of enterprise. The London papers containing the result and full details of the race were on sale within four minutes after the Oxford crew had passed the winning post. The press beat as it steamed up the Thames paid out a cable consisting of a seven strand conductor, insulated with vulcanized rubber, with warps and braids of flax, which had been specially manufactured for the purpose. Over this cable the progress of the boats at intervals of a few_minutes along the entire course was transmitted to the papers and published’ all over London almost as the crews were passing the points-indicated. Inmediately following the restNt there was dispatched a complete description of the race from start to finish, which was in the hands of: the newspapers and others provided with instruments long before a single pressman was able to land his ‘“‘copy” from the press boat at Mortlake, and also long before the pigeons dispatched from the scene were cble to settle down ina homeward direction. The instruments used were Morse sounders. The short description of the race which was finally sent ‘contained over 150 words.—London News. Paper Makers to Stop for Awhile. Representatives of nearly all the Holyoke paper mills that make fine writing papers and one of the mills in Mittineague. and one in Westfield met in this city’ Tuesday morning to consider the matter of the annua] shutdown. These manufacturers belong to the fine writing paper section of the American Paper Makers’ association, and a shutdown means a reduction of from seyenty-five to 100 tons a day in the output. It was understood that the mills would shut down from July 1 to midnight of July 11, although no formal vote was taken on the subject. The Holyoke mills will be forced to shutdown from July 1 until midnight of July 4, as the water isto be drawn from the canal+ during these days. The shutdown is to° enable the manufacturers to work off the surplus stock, and is a little loner than the usual summer vacation.— Springfield (Mass.) Republican. A Long Ride on a Snow bank. Friday morning as ten miners were geing from the Bureka Mills boarding house to what is. called Rovgh and Ready, with dinner pails in hand, to begin their day's work, ‘the soft new snow above the trail’ on the mountain side began to slide. In a moment the men were being carried down the slope with great speed. The snowslide sep arated, one part carrying five of the men duwn a slope about 700 feet, the other part continuing down about 1700 feet, leaping over a precipice probably thirty feet high and carrying the five men with it. At different times all the men but one were under the snow and, strange to say, but one man was injured. It was first thought his leg was broken, but we learn it was only sprained and bruised. Another man ‘was almost smothered.—Pulmas County . : Bulletin. A Groom’s Error. A bashful and youthful bridal couple from the rural) districts had a painful experience at Danbury circus day. The young husband wrote his own name and his wife’s on separate lines of the hotel register and the purblind clerk assigned them to separate rooms. Each waited for the other to set the matter straight, but it was only after a terribly lonesome hour that the bride plucked up her courage and her marriage certificate and deascended to interview the clerk. She held out the document mute'y and the situation at last dawned upon him. The banished benedict was summoned from his seclusion and the curtain fell amid scoters apologies.—New Haven Regisis Flies So Thick They Put Out the Lights. Abont 9 o’clock Tuesday night Battle mountain was infested with a cloud of tiny flies that drifted into the saloons on Front street in myriads, in many instances darkening the rooms and putting ont the lights. When the pests had passed away it was found that the tops of the lamps were covered an inch and a half deep and the lamp chimneys chotsed. It would appear that these minute flies were attracted by the lights in ile saloons, and in countless millions perished.—Central Nevadan. Enough to Replenish the Burning Lake.
