This annual boat rare WAS rowed on Saturday, and for
the first time since 1.41 victory fell to the lot of the Dark
Blum. Cambridge started with a stroke of 38 to the
minute. and Oxford with one of 35, the space at one period
of the contest having been quickened to :eland 36 respect-
tray. The Light Ilium led for some little distance, but
gradually the lung shady pull of the Oxonians told in
their favour, and they shot the centre span of Hammers
smithliridge with a lead ,of three-quarters of • length.
The most gallant efforta on the part of the Cambridge
crew failed to overtake their opponents, who at Chiswick
Eyot led by four lengths, at Barnes by six, and at
Mortlake by ten, the Light Blues being there described as
hopelessly beaten awl distr....Q. The defeat of the
Cam' widge men by such a distance may be partly accounted
for by the statement that Craven Cottage No. 3 in the
mat broke hi. slide, which prevented his being of any use
;or the remainder of the race.
