UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

Compared with the dashing work in both the University
boats at Putney yesterday, the previous performance of the
crews might be considered insignificant ; both evidently
were on their mettle, and their exertions gained for them
the unqualified approbation of their friends, and augur well
for a fine race on Saturday. Still there are some trifling
defects which ere then will probably disappear. Ihe Cam-
bridge crew went out shortly after eleven o'clock from
Symonds's yard with new oars supplied from his store, and
not yet painted, their own sets, which they brought
from Cambridge, being disapproved of. They rowed up
against the tide to the Ship at Mortlake, where they
made a fine start, and rowed the course down on the
ebb. The whole distance was rowed at a bursting pace,
commencing at 36 and reaching 37 or 38 strokes per minute,
when they were well into their work, and they were well
together in the pull, although close critics were of opinion
that some of the crew still threw themselves a little too
much back at the end of the stroke, by which they lose
time, to say nothing of expending strength, without a com-
mensurate effect. Their pace was certainly very fast, the
distance being accomplished in little more than 201 minutes.
The Oxonians went out from the London Rowing Club
boat-house, at about 12 o'clock, and rowed a little above the
Ship before they turned to go off, and were then nearly on a
level with Barker's rails. They went off at a fine pace, and
getting into the celebrated Oxford swing almost immedi-
ately, came down at a fine pace, rowing at the rate of from
38 to 39 or 391 strokes per minute. Their pace was acce-
lerated towards the finish, and the time occupied was about
201 minutes and some five or six seconds less than the Can-
tabs, with a little more distance but a trifle more tide. Bet-
ting was 5 to 4 on Oxford, but neither freely laid nor taken•
The Stork steamer has been engaged by Henry Kelly, the
ex-champion of the Thames, to convey spectators from
Woolwich to accompany the race.
