«, UNCLE AND NEI'HEW. The Prince of Wales arrived at Berlin on March\2l, and was met by the Emperor, the Empress Frederick, and a collection of notables When the Prince alighted from tho train tho English National Anthem was played by the band. The Emporor and Prince entered a carriage and were driven to the Castle escorted by cavalry. The Emperor ■nns a( tired in the uniform of a general of tho British Dragoons. The Prince of Wales wore that of a German general. The crowd along the routo warmly cheered the Emperor and Prince. At the banquet at the Scliloss the same ovening the Emperor toasted tho Prince of Waleß, expressing his thanks at being made tin Admiral by the Queon, and drank to the continuance of friendly relations between Great Britain and Germany. The Prince replied that he had telegraphed the Queen that a brilliant reception was accorded him. Caprh i, Von Moltke, Waldersee, and the Empress were present, THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE. The race between Oxford and Cambridge on March 26 wa9 won by the former. It was run over the usual course— from Putney to Mort'ako, a distance of four miles and a quarter. Tho v. Pother wa9 brilliant for the holiday crowd, but the fifteen mile breeze made tho Thames rather choppy. The crowd was unprecedented, both banks of the river being lined. Cambridge was a decided favourite in the betting, but as soon as the men took the water it was seen that Oxford's swing was better than that of Cambridge, and the eliding wa3 almost as good. Oxford was the first away. Cambridge pulled tho faster stroke, overtook Oxford, passed and led at Clnsper's ; but by tho time Cmven Steps (six furlongs from the start) was reached Oxford had gone to the front again. At Hammersmith Bridge (one mile further on) Cambridge had tho lead of half a length. When tho Devonshire Meadows (three miles from the starting point) were reached the crews were pulling on even terms. Oxford led at Same's Bridge (four furlongs further ou) by half a length.

Both horses arc half-brothers to Tho Joker, who nas performed successfully this season. Two accidents occurred at the Circus this morning during practice, Mr Gus St. Leon getting his shoulder dislocated, but he succeeded in putting it back again. The other was more serious, and will necessitate a stay of two weeks here by one of tho men. Ho was holding a hurdle while one of tho horses was being trained, and tho horse jumped on him, giving him n nasty scalp wound, and knocking him senseless to tho ground, Whilo in this condition tho lioree again jumped on vim, and broke bis shoulder blade. Mr McElwain was present shortly after, and with that compassion which is characteristic of him, had the man removed to his hotel, and there attended by a doctor. Later on ho met Mr Wirth, and received an assurance from him that he would pay expenses if the man has to stay after the circus leaves.
