THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.

The rowing of the Cambridge crew on Monday
hes bad the effect of making them nearly as great favourites
as the others, anything over even money being taken freely.
Yesterday morning both crews underwent the usual amount
of pedestrian exercir, and at about noon the Oxonians
peddled their boat up against the tide and rowed
the course down In excellent style at the rate of 37 strokes
per minute, et time accomplishing 38. A great im-
provement is now perceptible in their form sumo their
arrival at Putney, and although their style is not r fieished
as last year's crew, they are quite as fast Yesterday after-
Memo', there was again a large muster of gentlemen present
on the towing-path who were anxious to witness the trial of
the Light Blues with a picked mew of the London Rowing
Club in their 12-oared boat, bat in consequence of the low
state of the tide the boats could not be launched until after
6 o'clock. The trial of the Oxford crew with eight picked
Thames watermen is fixed to come off to-day at 12 o'clock.
The following is a corrected return of the weights of the
two crews:
