...anniversary banquet was held in the Corn Exchange, Oxford, and so great was the number of guests that special trains were run from London for their accommodation. Lord Selborne, Lord High Chancellor, presided, and among the company, which comprised many of England's most distinguished men, were the Bishop of Oxford, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Archbishop Manning, Mr. Cardwell, of the Cabinet, and Matthew Arnold.

Norwich, with several large hotels, is nearer in point of time to New London than Springfield was last year from the finish of the course. Besides, as the race finishes close to the city, the crowds can go away that evening to Boston, New York, etc., either by boat or by rail...
