OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.
We regret that we cannot record a more decisive and
satisfactory result for one of the best races which the mem-
bsn of the two Universities have untested ever sisal the
&mous seven oar match at Henley. The event, which
excited the greatest interest from the known character of
' the crews, arid from the tact that three or four of the men
in each bust had rowed in former races, was also regarded
with anxiety by aquatic amateurs, because of the con-
te.iding statements mule by some of the beat judges who
saw the tend pulls 'act week. The p:culiar jerk of the
Oxonians, which tells so well on their own river and on
smooth water, was said to be exaggerated by the present
crew, while many were of opinion that the stroke of the
Cambridge men, :hough marked by is usual easy 'cog
sweep, was deficient in the power and muscular energy
which had so often made them victors on the Thames.
The Cambridge men have been training since last Tbur.dey
over the course, under the guidance of Robert Coombe.,
who had been up for some time previously giving them his
assistance in getting over the water of the Cam. On Thurs.
day both crews had a good turn for practice, and afforded
an opportunity to the connoissturs to see what stuff they
were made of, On that occasion but little difference was
visible except in the style of pulling, and in a slight pre-
ponderance i.f weight, well backed by condition, in the Ox-
ford men. The betting was even—Cambridge for choice if
anything ; but a taw ardent men on each side were prepared
to lay d to 4 or 4 to 3 is favour of their own pets, and were

charged with rain, which vented itself continually in a stal-
ing drizzle. The tide, running up strongly, was met by the
wand so heavily, as to r.se a tisty muddy little sea in a:l :he
" reaches," and to cause some uneasy anubts for the sects
city of eight eared out-riggers. But, notwithstanding these
digeouragemente, a stream of cabs of all sorts, carriage',
'busses, horsemen, and pedestrians, set in steadily to.
