OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE MATCH.
Saturday next is the day fixed for the race, which will,
no doubt, attract an immense number of spectators.
We cannot hear that any definite time for the start has
been named, but presume it will be about a
quarter past ono, as it will be high water at Putney
at half-past two o'clock. Both crews have been
in active training in their respective rivers, and speak
in high terms of approbation of their new outriggers,
both of which were built by the Messrs. Searle. The
Cambridge boat is 62 feet in length, and the Oxford one
63 feet, both being about 2ft. Sin. in breadth. They are,
we understand, beautiful specimens of the art; and the
Oxonians are particularly delighted with their boat; they,
having been heard to say that it is the best ever con-
structed for them. Both crews are expected in town on
Monday, and during the week they will _continue their
training over the course, which will be, as before stated,
from Patti. y- bridge to Mortlake.
The names of the crews are as follow :
OXFORD-1, Prescott; 2, Grcenball; 3, King; 4,
Buller; 5, Deane; 6, Houghton; 7, Nynd; 8, Chitty;
--- (coxswain).
CAMBRIDGE-1, 11. E. Tuckey; 2, IL Brandt; :1, J.
Shaw; 4, H. B. Foord; 5, E. Hawley; 6, W. S. Long-
more; 7, J. W. Sirron; 8, P. B. Corker; C. Crosse
(coxswain).

THE PREMIERSHIP.
A disputed bet between two Noble Lords on the fol-
lowirg subject has been decided as follows by Captain

the d.-:a:h of either party before the ma•ch or bet is d:

the
rules which apply to men and to hoes: 13 ; for instance,

not lose it.
" It is very obvious that it is necessary to aisle a
wide distinction between the animals, man and horse, to
prevent constant frauds, because if Rule 36 extended o
horses, nothing would be so simple as to destroy a horse
broked for a largo sum cf money which might be lame,
coughing, or good for nothing when the race Was about
to occur, but it would not be quite so simple a process
to destroy the nominator.
" I therefore demur to the propriety of metamorpho-
lag Sir R. P. and Lord D. into horses, merely to take
the bent& of the act, which prescribes a forfeit from
dead horses on p.p. races. I cannot admit the justice cf
the argument. In all disputed beta we must take a com-
mon tense view of the subject, in unison with the esta-
blished rules and customs of betting on ordinary events.
"As there was no specification in the nature of play
or pay attached to the bet, I atit of opinion that from
