AQUATICS.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.
This annual and exciting event is now fixed to take place
on Wednesday, April 1. It having been found by experi-
ence that good light crews cannot compete successfully
with good heavy ones over the London course, the Cantabs
have profited by it, and this year their crew, barring the
coxswain—who is a stone lighter than the Oxford cockswain
—average just over 11 stone, being a few pounds heavier
han the Oxford crew The Oxonians are already in active
training, and on Friday took a long pull to Wallingford,
upwards of 20 miles. Their style and pace were first-rate,
and sufficient of themselves to inspire confidence.
The Cambridge crew has been selected with great care
and judgment, and report speaks highly of their qualities of
skill, power, aid stamina. The Oxonians, however, are
the favourites, and at the present time bets of 6 to 4 and 2
to 1 have been freely laid in their favour. The following
is a correct list of the names and weights of the crews :

There have already been 19 contests on the river Thames
between the two universities, and in 9 of these Oxford has
been victorious, Cambridge winning 10 of them. Oxford
was victorious in 1820, 1842, 1849, 1852, 1854, 1857, 1859,
1851, and 1862 ; and Cambridge in 1836, 1839, 1840, 1841,
1845, 1846, 1349, 1856, 1858, and 1860. Should the
Oxonians win this year, 10 races will hare been won by

each.
In addition to the boat race, arrangements are pending
for the continuation of the annual Oxford and Cambridge
double and single billiard and raquet matches, to take place
the same week in London. Athletic sports are becoming
more popular at the Universities, and during the present
term the Oxford athletes will meet those of Cambridge at
the latter place. The annual cricket and tennis matches
will take place as usual in London later in the summer,
and a grand review of the Oxford and Cambridge rifle corps
is Used to take place at Oxford 131 thQ Bth 4-14110
