Eton College Boat Club . 0
The Oxford Crew—Messrs. G. Robertson, J. E. Parker,

W. R. Griffiths, and A. Brassey ; H. C.' Needham, cox-
swain.

The winners were the favourites. Eton were on the Bergs
side. They started evenly, and maintained a very capital
race for half a mile, in the beginning of which Eton had a
very trifling momentary lead, and thus held their opponents
up to Fawley Court. After that the Oxford gradually drew
their length clear, and so finished.

The Oxford Crew—Messrs. H. C. Harris, R. Sheppard,
W. Champneys, and W. B. Woodgate ; C. J. Parkins, cox-
swain.

The Cambridge Crew—Messrs. C. Orme, W. H. Wright,
J. E. Hawkshaw, and J. G, Chambers ; T. K. Gaskell,
coxswain. _ _ _

Oxford had the Berks shore, and up to starting before the
rowing, were the favourites, but owing to Mr. Woodgate's
exertions in the scullers' races, there were many disposed to
back the Cambridge crew, who were certainly fresh. It was
good race, the winners not having more at first than a very
slight lead, and so tightly did the Cambridge men hold them
that the Oxford men had gone half a mile before they had
pulled their boat away. They continued to lead, their oppo-
nents rowing with much spirit, and the race was won by
two lengths.

The crews are above given, but Mr. Parry steered the
Oxford, in lieu of Mr. Parkins. It was a repetition of the
Stewards' Challenge Cup. They started together, and
shortly afterwards the winners drew gradually in advance,
and won by two clear lengths. The Cambridge men had a
fresh boat in this race.
THE WAYFOLD CHALLENGE CUP.

London Club Crew.—Messrs. H. Hood, P. Grubb, F.
Former, and W. Stout; E. Weston, coxswain.
West London Ciew.—Messrs. E. Nash, F. J. Tyler,
F. W. Bryant, and J. Niblett; R. Niblett, coxswain.
The West London had the Berks side, but there were
very few who speculated upon them, although large odds
were offered. They went away together, and for a couple
of minutes the West London held their opponents, but
after that, although they deserve great credit for their
efforts, their opponents were too much for them, and won
easily.

THE SILVER GOBLETS.
Pair Oars.
Oxford, Champneys and Woodgate
Cambridge, Hawkshaw and Chambers .. 0
It was a dashing race all through. The Cambridge men
had the Berks place, and when they went away the pace
was even and good. They pulled evenly for a minute or
two, and then the Oxford pair made a dash in front well
clear; but their opponents put on a fine spurt, and at half-
way overlapped them, and right to the finish it was a most
determined race, only won by a length.
There were a great many patrons of acquatic sports
to be
Pre'
sent, and amongst them Earl Kilmorey. It is ouch
regretted that the races this time have been rowed
that so lathite s
,
it is prejudicial to the regatta ; but we understand
will be avoided for the future.
Lord Camoys presented the prizes.
