AQUATICS.
THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.
As the day fixed for this great national equatic event (the
19th March) approaches the interest of the public increases,
and everything connected with the encounter is watched
with the utmost degree of anxiety. On Friday and Satur-
day last the rowing of the Oxonians was eagerly scanned
by hundreds of Cantabs, who took the opportunity affirded
them by the Oxford and Cambridge pastimes, and visited the
banks of the Isis. 'rho impression formed by the Cambridge
gentlemen seemed very unfavourable to their own. colours,
and many of them backed the dark blue at odds, a circum-
stance which has given Oxford more confidence, and induced
them to lay freely the odds of 6 to 4, which can be had at
Oxford for the asking. As we before stated, the Oxford
crew will be in London about the middle of the week, as
orders have been given to forward the beat by road to Pul-
ney on Wednesday evening next. The crow, it is cxpectod,
will make their debut on the London waters on the following
Thursday, when the London talent will have an opportunity
of judging of their merits.
On Monday afternoon (yesterday) a picked crow was got
up to give them a turn, in accordance with the usual custom
at Oxford, end a race of exceeding interest took place below
Nuneham. The scratch crew comprised, besides the Presi-
dent of the 0.U.8.C., Mr. Carr, and several Oxford oars of
great experience, including the Messrs. Morrison. The
names, however, as given helm, will speak for themselves.

The river being swollen to a great extent, owing to the
recent heavy rains, and the wind blowing very strongly from
the west, caused an unusual roughness on the surface, re-
sembling as near as possible the swell of the Thames near
London. :Mr. Carr lay under the Berkshire shore at the
Mile Bush until the " Varsiry Eight," which has rowed
from Sandford, came within a few lengths, when he put on
a quick stroke and led them through the Railway Bridge,
at which point the gap had been somewhat lessened, as:the
powerful stroke of Mr. Pocklington told more effectively in
the rough water than the dash of Mr. Carr. Upon reaching
the Corner the " eight" put on a spurt and caught up to
their opponents, whose want of condition telling upon
them, enabled the former to Ulm the lead, which
,they
maintained to the finish.

The rowing of the "eight" afforded great satisfaction to
those who were present, although it was observed tho
stroke oar lacked the dash which has been the distinguish-
ing feature of the Oxtord stroke for the past three seasons.
Mr. lloare, the gentleman referred to, who expected to row
in the scratch crew, was unable to do so thrcugh slight
indisposition.
