Both Oxford and Cambridge are in strong training, --A
going on favourably without any change. The day Ito
for the race, April 1, over the usual course, from Putnei
Mortlake, presents so favourable a tide that the contest Wit
take place at mid day. By a communication received leg
night from Cambridge we find it is not likely there Will be
any further change in that crew, unless, indeed, any 011%f
men " shut up" in the severe practice necessary to clutlq•
them for so great a race. They have now commenced he'
long row, i.e., from Cambridge t 3 Clay Hive, and are i,l) ;
plying themselves with much energy to compensate for t'o
loss of time spent in selecting their crew; but Oxford are
still the favourites at 6 and G to 4, although the Carnbri"
gentlemen exhibit a gradual improvement in their rov/Pg'
