01701 W LTD CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.

PUTNEY, Tam BAT.
As the time draws new for the decision of this acia
interesting event, which is to come off next Se- g j
turday morning at 8 o'clock, and be cowed up, 1111
as just determined upon, the excitement Wfrite•eS,
and the publics are ma the qui Mee to reseive is- It
formation upon the subject of their doings. Although tot*
the water was very low, both crews were this morniag afloat. es.
The Oantabe were first oat, and rowed up part of the amuse
from Putneylegalnat the tide. Their style was improved, but
yet is sot anything like petters/on. They area hardy active
mew, whose oars clip the water and who will do better with
a strong than a slack tide under them. In their rowing they MA I
timed well, but there was not that uniformity 100
of 'Mimi which is the essential attribute of excellenne. In.
They went up as far as Barnes-bridge at an even and some-
what leisurely peeps, and thee had a bustling ram down to

Haramersinith-bridge, commencing at about 35 and finish- 14e
leg at about 38 strokes per minute, elesoly rowed.
Shortly after this they returned ke their hotel the Star and 5

minutes after the Calash@ started up the Oxonians were also 116

certainly not calculated to do them much good, before they tee
started up. There tea precision and power coupled with 111
their swing which induces one irmaistibly to come to the IN
coaclasion that if the surface is heavy oo the day of the
race they will have the best chance of smear. The ;Li''
Utopians rowed the coarse down an hour before low-water.lCt
Their work was very fine, and they reached at some pp
pert of the course 40 rtrolroo per rolouto. 'They tee
were amorop..ir4 by several gentlemen on horseback. Bet- ift.

morning we should not be surprised to hear of the odds ro
being greater.
