SOUTHAMPTON, June 5. - The steamer Paris, from New York, arrived here this evening, after a splendid passage. Among the passengers were the representatives of Cornell University, who are to take part in the Henley rowing regatta. The college oarsmen were never in more fit condition and they are very sanguine of success. Several of the party were seasick during the first days of the voyage, but they soon recovered and suffered no bad effects. Rope-jumping was indulged in on the passage to give the men exercise and keep them to weight. Their meals, which were selected for them, were served in their own cabins, and, under the direction of Mr. Courtney, the coach of the crew, every precaution was taken to have them land in England in first-class shape. At breakfast this morning the crew were presented with an address from 175 of the American passengers wishing them success in their undertaking.

Owing to the lateness of the arrival of the crew Commodore Hastings of the Cornell Navy decided not to take them to Henley tonight as he had intended. The oarsmen will therefore remain at the Western Hotel over night and go to Henley in the morning.
