OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHT OARED MATCH-(THIS DAY.) This great annual aquatic event, which always commands great attention in sporting circles ex ceeded only by the Derby Day, excited additional interest this year from the supposed near equality of the contesting crews, and an announcement which had obtained currency that this was the last occasion u pou which the two great Universi,ine would compete upon the Thames. The betting had been for some days previous to the race in favour of the Oxford crew, but the trial which took place on Thursday rather told in favour of the Cambridge, and the weather this morning tended to equalise the odds. The un usually early hour for which the contest was fixed, owing to the state of the tide, namely, half past eight a.m., would, it might have been anticipated, have considerably thinned the throng of spectators, and at that hour the numbers assembled upon the banks confirmed the supposi tion, but the delay occasiondl the change of tide sooner than was cal culated upon enabled thousands to roach the spot in time for the great attraction of the day. The morning broke with a threatening cloudy sky and a brisk breeze from the west, and this, no doubt, had also some influence in discouraging sightseers, as was appa rent from the extraordinary room and ease in every one of the steamboats chartered to accompany the race. The tide reached its height shortly before 8 o'clock, but the power of the wind made it advisable that a change should be made in the usual course ; it was accordingly determined to delay the start, and to row f rom Mortlake to Putney, making the third time in the history of these contests in which the course has been "down" the river. Shortly after 9 o'clock a bright warm sunlight broke upon the scene, which at this time was one of the liveliest. Both banks of the river were crowded with spectators, amongst whom were imany ladies, the great majority decorated with the colours of one or other of the contesting crews. Hammersmith-bridge presented a. appearance of extraordinary animation, the dark figures of multitudes of men forming a favourable ground for the exhibition of the dark blue or light dresses, bonnet ribbons, and parasols by which the fair sex showed their sympathy with Oxford or Cambridge. Along the towing paths between Putney and Mortlake, numbers of equestrians, most of them evidently mounted • from the re- I sources of the locality, and under circumstances of extreme pressure, were galloping to and fro, to the terror of - the pedestrians, and in not a few cases to the discomfiture of the riders themselves ; nigger melodists were blocking the way, and making a rich harvest from the impatient crowd, ready generally to reward any efforts to relieve the weariness of waiting ; and " knock-ern-down" proprietors took possession of every place where a few feet of grass were to be found. The boats took their places at half-peat 10, Ox ford winning the toss, and selecting the Middlesex side of the river ; a good start was immediately afterwards effected. For a few stroke° they kept well together, bat the Oxford crew soon took the lead, and continued to improve their advantage to the end of the course. In rounding the point opposite Hammersmith mall, Oxford appeared some three or four seconds before their opponents, and at the bridge the lead had been so far increased as to place the result beyond a doubt. There was an finites/on that Cambridge was lessening the distance between the boats shortly before the Star and Garter at Putney was reached, but Oxford was still 22 seconds ahead at the winning-post, The time occupied in the race was 23 min. 6 secs. by the winners, and 23 min. 27 sec. by the Cambridge meu. Both crews were vociferously cheered throughout the whole of the course, and the Oxford men, on leaving their boat, were received with shouts of congratulation. The boats were manned as follows : Oxman. at. It 1. B. Shepherd, Brannan) 2. F. R. Reny, University 3. W. B. R. Jaceheon. Chriat Chwah 4. W. R. Woods's* Braastiom 6. A. Merriam, Ballioi 6. W.

Great credit is due to those who had the arrange ments for the manner iu which they succeeded in keeping the accompanying steamboats, no less than 16 in number, from interference with the race ; but notwithstanding the precautions taken in this respect, both of the match boats suffered some damage after the contest was decided. The race wad over, and the crews were returning lei surely to the shore, when the steamers passed all abreast, throwing up a swell which rolled the match boats upon the shore, filling both with water, injuring one of the row locks of the Oxford boat, and knocking a bole in the bottom of the Cambridge. Moen • Second Edition of Bell's Life.) Oxford having won the toss took the Middles shore,with Cambridge on the outside. The steamboat,' caused much daisy at the start, owing to the great difficulty which the 'uptake had in keepisg them up above the starting buoys at Barker's Rails, and indeed it would have been very much better had they been left to themselves, and allowed to take up their positioas along the shore. At length, however, a tolerably fair opportunity presented itself. and Ir.Searle pro nounced the word "off "at precisely 20 minutes post ten o'clock. They took the water almost simultaneously, Cam bridge being, perhaps, a trifle quicker than their opponents. This gave them a slight lead, which, however, Oxford imme distally =deep, and they were timed to be doing Cambridge 40 and Oxford 39 strokes per minute. In 100 yardsafter the start the Cantabs forged a leadegain, bat Swam weeded from them is 200 yards at the furthest ; and Oxford were here to fast that before they reached the Ship they led by a dear length, both crews having been somewhat wild up to this point. Here the Cambridge crew, whose cox swain had kept them much too far over on the Surrey shore, increased the rapidity of their stroke, and were row ing uncommonly well, bat soon afterwards both boat. dropped to 37 strokes per minute, which was not varied much afterwards. At the point below Fronk Godfrey's Oxford had added half a length to their lead, and they rsaahed Barnes-bridge—Oxford is sm. 35a., with Cambridge 15s. behind. These positions were maintained to the Bathing place, when a soe spurt in the Cambridge boat lessened the gap, but at the botto Chiswick Eyott the °goatees bad settled down into th m ei o r f very best form, and rapidly im proved their advantage. From here the pace of the con tending crews so entirely beat the steamboats, locked together as they were, that nothing more was seen of the race until they reached the Star and Garter, at Putney. where Oxford woo by 22 seconds, their time being 23 min. 6 sec., and that of Cambridge 23 mia. 27 sac. When the shouts which greeted the victors bad subsided, both crews proceeded to partake of the hospitality of Mr. Phillips, at The Cedars, Mortlake. (From a Second Edition of the Field.) At as early hour large numbers of persons arra eneseed to easemble on the towing-path and on the river, and the steamers one by one made their through Fulham -bridge. We counted fourteen o them including the River Queen, with members of the Thames Bukeeriptioa Club; the Warrior, with the Loudon Rowing Club ; the Victoria, with the Lowder Club ; the Mil& Harold (private) ; the Waverley, with Cambridge meal the Rifleman, with members of the Orford Usiveerity Boat Mb ; Citizens L (umpire's boat). D. J, K., Y, P, the Veins, arid the Jupiter, which latter afterwards got aground on the Middlesex shore, just oppo site the starting place. A small private steamer called the Rifle also attended. The tide wooed to flow at Putney at eight o'clock, the wind Mein it out very mesa In oonsequesee of the early oommenormeet of ebb on Friday morning, the presidents of the Oxford and Cambridge University Bast Clubs decided on that day that the nee should be rowed down, instead of up with the flood. se lead latterly bees iatended. The two eight-oared boats THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 28, 1888. LAW INTELLIGENCE , 1 8111123 iiii&-alus DAY.) (THIS DAY.) were consequently sant up to Mortlake on the last of the flood, and the crews proceeded to cross to the starting point by road. Shortly before nine o'clock • move was made ashore and afloat for Mortlake, the steamers going up in Indian file ; and it was curiae to see the stream of pedestrians who had taken up their position at Mortlake—in anticipation of the race being rowed up—wending their way downwards. The Oxford boat, rowed by two WSitl9loo, was passed by most of the steamers just off Barnes, the Cambridge boat having been sent up earlier, and not having had so much ebb to con tend against. Several barges running down were passed off Mortlake, and also • raft of timber right athwart the river, the mans looking anything but clear. it had been arranged that the start should take place at 9.30, but, as might have been anticipated, considerable delay was mused by the difficulty in getting all the steamers astern of the opposing crews. Shortly after half-past nine the Cambridge men commenced getting into their beat on the towpath shore, • little below Barker's Rails, and they put off into mid-stream about a quarter to ten. The Camino, were a little later in embark ing, and put off about five minutes &Bement', and having woo the toss, took the Middlesex—the best—station, two buoys having been laid down just above the large bridge on the towpath off the Kew meadows. Three quarters of an hour were wasted in fruitless en deavours to get the steamers to go back, though it struck us that the starter, Mr. Fa Searle, allowed one splendid opportunity of dismissing the crews to slip by. The Venus, the Child. Harold, Citizen J., and another Citizen brat of whose letter we could not catch sight, were the most unruly; and although it might be necessary for the umpire's boat to steam about and clear the course, still she favoured the crews with • most unlimited supply of wash. Again sod again just as the eights; were getting ready • barge would urns driving down with the tide, dead upon the Confabs. It was not until nearly half-put ten that everything was in final readiness, the patience of the spectators being almost exhausted. A nice clear bit of water presenting itself, Mr. Searle gave the word at 10.29. The Os fool crew made • rapital start : the Can tab., on the other hand, going off in a scrambling manner, saddler • stroke or two hadbeen rowed the former began to show a decided lead, which they increased most rapidly, being clearof their opponents off the Ship, rowing splendidly, with • steady, even, regular stroke. The race from this I point was, in fact, a repetition of the last two university mantas, for Oxford, haring once got • good lead, increased it all the [way down, wising under Barnes-bridge three lengths ahead; •od having still farther added to th e distance between the boat at Hamenenmith, they reached the winning flag off the Star and Carter, Putney, easy winners by at least • dozen lengths, hoeing completed the distance in 23 min. 6 sec., with a strong ebb and a very favourable breeze. In consequence of the rapid pace at which the tide was making down, the eights completely distanced the steam boats, who saw little or nothing of the race beyond the start, so that we are unable to speak positively ea to the finish. Mr. J. W. Chitty, of Oxford, was, as usual, rip. pointed umpire. The form of the Oxford crew was so decidedly trawler, that it really looked any odds on them, and 6 sad 7 to 4 were, we believe, betted against the Cambridge at the start. Our correspondent"Argeneuee prediction is therefore veri fied, though from the f•otel the Cambridge losing the choice of position, they were decidedly at a disadvantage. Had they been fortunate enough to have obtained the Middle sex shore they might have made • race for • short distance, but without any ultimata prospect of success. Among the men who rowed beat in the Oxford boat we may mention Shepherd, Woodgate, Morrison, and Hoare; and in the unsuccessful mew, Hewksh•w, Smyly, Kinglake, Chambers, and Sunning. The two Universities have now won an equal number of matches, and as next year excitement will ran high as to the probable winner, we do must sincerely trust that great case ad judgmeet will be exercised in the choice of the Cambridge crew for 1864. COURT OF PROBST& AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) SONS V. STUNS ASO APPLITON. mu. This morning Mr. Kerslake, Q.C. (with biro Dr. Sploks and Mr. Searle) summed up the cam for the respondent. The learned gentleman oontended that the charge against Mrs. Stone had utterly failed. The evi dews of the prostitute Harris was wholly unworthy of credence, even if it had not been flatly contradicted by her respectable fellow servant, Susan Marks. It was preposterous to suppose that if Mrs. Stone bad been guilty of the coeduct imputed to her the would have consulted • woman like Harris am to the mode of procuring an abortion when she wild have had the scientific advice of her pars moor. If she had taken thedrug deposed to, there could nano doubt it would have had, not the effect suggested, but that of killing her, for it was a visuleot poison. There was no question that Mrs. Stone had required coocteot medical care, sad pot the slightest evidence had been given, emu by Harris, to show that she had suffered the smallest improper familiarity front Mr. Appleton. If there had been the smallest ground for the accusation, could anyone doubt that in a small village like Budleigh &Merton, where every body of course knew everybody else's business, the place ej, would have rung with gossip about her mu- 10 doings ; but until Captain Stone thought proper Si.i• to announce iu an off-band manner that " Matt, to had gone to the bad," nobody ever seemed jo to have dreamt of such an imputation being cast 10 upon her. After that confident statement of the husband, 10 however, hie friends turned against the unfortunate wife, a and ransacked their memory for the moat trivial facts and 11 innocent remarks which could be tortured into evidence of her guilt.
