AQUATICS.—(This Day,)

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHT.

OARED MATCH.

PUTNEY.
The favourable impression created yesterday by the ca-
pital performance of the Cambridge crew against the water-
men has not died away, and although it can hardly be said
that the betting is level, still the followers of Oxford are
very " coy" at laying the odds, and the Cantabs are looked
upon as a splendid crew. This morning they started from
Putney at half-past 11, and after paddling up to Mortlake,
started down from the Ship at a very fine pace upon the
ebb tide, which was, however, weak. They broke away
very gallantly and regularly, the pace being at 37, 38, and
39 pulls per minute, taken without any irregularity or
change in the style of work.
At a quarter to twelve the crew of picked London water-
men, who made so admirable a race yesterday against the
Cantabs, were put into requisition this morning to row the
Oxonians, and they started away from the London boat-
house and wended their way up the river to Barker's Rail,
where they had to stop some time for the Oxonians, who
did not leave Putney until some time after them. It was
arranged that the gentlemen should take their spurts with
the watermen down, and not continue the whole distance—
taking the first turn from the Earl's down through Carney-
reach to Cheswick Church, and then to Hammersmith and
Putney. The pace of the gentlemen at the start was fully
equal to that of the watermen, and they were rowing down
when our report left.

THE YACHT wQUADRON.—It has been calculated
from recent returns that there are no fewer than 817 English
yachts, manned by nearly 4,000 sailors. A splendid nucleus
for a nation to draw its resources from,

COMFORT FOR RAILWAY TRAVELLERS.—Daring
the 40 years prior to the establishment of railways the
average annual deaths by accidents was 96, and 220 hurt.
Since the establishment of railways the average of deaths
and hurts to railway travellers is not one-fourth of the
former number.
