UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

Universities for the above great race :

C. E. W. Tottenham, Christ Church (cox.)
CAMBRIDGE.
1. Mr. H. Watney, St. John's

3. Mr. E. V. Piggott, Corpus

5. Mr. D. F. Steavenson, Trinity Hall
6. Mr. W. R. Griffiths, Trinity
7. Mr. G. H. Borthwick, Trinity
8. Mr. C. B. Lawes, Trinity
Mr. C. Cox, Trinity (cox).
We believe that Mr. Coxe, in the Oxford boat, has been
changed, but our latest advice does not give us the substi-
tute; the crew are very fine, and ink* improving. From
Cambridge we learn that Mr. Beebee resumed his place last
Saturday, Mr. Marshall retiring, and there has been no
alteration in the crew since. They have not yet commenced
their trips to Clay Hive, but will probably do so in a few
days. It is generally admitted that there is a gradual im-
provement in the rowing, the stroke being longer than
formerly, and the time and swing characterised by a greater
precision. It is intended that they shall try their skill in
an outrigger in a few days, and they will probably then
take their rows over the broad reach at Ely. Betting is
5 and 6 to 4 on Oxford, but the ,Cantabs' friends are very
sanguine.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY BOAT RACES.

OXFORD, Friday.

The first of the annual eight-oar torpid races took place
on the Isis this afternoon,when, notwithstanding the banks
were under water, the votaries of aquatics mustered in groat
force, and accompanied their respective college boats from
Miley. The following colleges were represented in the order
given.

1, Exeter ; 2, Brasenosc ; 3, Christ Church ; 4, University;
5, Corpus Christi ; 6, Daniel ; 7, Queen's ; 8, Magdalen ;
9, Trinity ; 10, Pembroke ; 11, Oriel ; 12, Wadham ; 13,
Worcester; 14, Lincoln; 15, St. John's.

Exeter rowed proudly on at the head of the river, and from
the distance Brasenose were behind them there seems little
chance of their being bumped. University caught Christ
Church at the Willows, Pembroke ran into Trinity at
Harvey's Barge, Wadham secured Oriel at the same spot,
and Lincoln bumped Worcester near the Gut.
The second race will take.place this afternoon, and as the
floods were going down fast it is hoped the banks will be
sufficiently dry to enable the general public to witness the
interesting racing.

Capture of a Royal Stag in Windsor.

NOVEL TERMINATION OF A HUNT WITH THE

QUEEN'S HOUNDS.

Yesterday afternoon the chase with her Majesty's stag-
hounds terminated in a very novel and singular manner.
The Royal pack had met at the Warren House, Binfield, at
half-past 11 o'clock in the morning, the field, which was
one of the largest that has assembled at the meets for some
time past, including the Earl of Bessborough, the noble
master of the buck-hounds; a number of ladies, and several
of the officers belonging to the Windsor garrison. The deer
" Doctor," well known for its excellent runs, was uncarted
about a quarter to 12 o'clock, and immediately made way
through the village of Bracknell to New Lodge, the resi-
dence of M. Van de Weyer, the Belgian Minister, and thence
to Clewer. Although the ground was rather heavy owing
to the late rains, the scent was good, and the pace great,
the run giving some rather sharp travelling to the horse-
men and dogs. Leaving the little village of Clewer, on the
west of the Royal borough, the deer rattled away towards
the town of Windsor, which it speedily entered, and rush-
ing up Peascod-street, one of the principal thoroughfares,
as if making for the Castle, suddenly darted into the shop
of Mr Linnell, butcher to his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales, and thence into the kitchen, where several persons
were at dinner, and of course greatly to their consterna-
tion. A scene of confusion immediately ensued upon the
entrance of the unexpected and unbidden visitor, who was
at length secured by a number of men and removed from
Mr. Linnell's kitchen to one of the cattle-pens at the rear
of the house.

This occurred about half-past 1 o'clock, and a few minutes
afterwards the dogs, followed by Sing, several huntsmen
in their scarlet livery, and many of the horsemen, reached
the upper part of Peascod-street, where Mr. Linnell's pre-
mises aro situated, while the unwonted occurrence soon
attracted a large crowd of spectators, who thronged eagerly
about the shop and horsemen. The gates leading to Mr.
Linnell's yard were then thrown open, to allow the hounds
to pass in to where the deer was confined, after which the
pack was withdrawn and taken home to the kennels, the
run hating lasted about an hour and forty minutes. It is
some time since a stag has been talon in such a singular posi-
tion in the vicinity, and the deer- ivas accordingly visited by
many ladies and gentlemen while held captive in the town.

THE STARTING NUISANCE.--" The last thing at
night, and the first thing in the morning !"—the
last race at Shrewsbury, and the first at Lincoln—the
" irrepressible boy" is at it again.. Everybody that likes to
see a race run to time, and a horse get a fair chance, had
hoped that something would be done in the winter ; perhaps
the boys would cool down, perhaps the exuberance at
Shrewsbury was theletting off before the holidays, and, be-
sides, horses get fretful after 10 months' racing. Now the
spring arrives, brings its races with it, and lo ! the starting at
Lincoln for the principal races is recorded to have been
among the very worst ever made. But habits grow apace,
and unless this is rapidly looked to, we shall have the whole
of this year's sport spoilt, as, in a great degree, that of last
season's was. We cannot but see that hitherto it has been
playing at stewards and starters ; and we do hope that both
will soon make their duties stern reality. To the former,
we can only repeat what we said last week, that no ono
who does not mean to do his work should accept the re-
sponsibility ; for the latter, it is not a pleasant thing to
know, that there is but one starter in England—the Jockey
Club official—who has practically the courage to report a
jockey.—Sporting Gazette.
INDO-EUROPEAN TELEGRAPH.—A large number of
messages aro now being received daily from all parts of
India by the newly-opened route via' Constantinople and the
Persian Gulf. A message received in London to-day from
Kurrachee only occupied six hours in transmission.
THE CONVICT POLIONI.—It is stated that Sir G.
Grey was yesterday morning engaged in investigat-
ing the circumstances connected with the case of Peliz-
zioni, or Polioni, now under sentence of death for what has
been called the Saffron-hill murder, and a statement has
been presented to Baron Martin, who is now at Warwick,
with a request that he will at once communicate to the
Home Secretary his views upon the altered state of the
case. Polioni is now at Newgate, but up to yesterday even-
ing the Sheriffs had not received any official communica-
tion with regard to a further staying of the execution. It
is expected that the Sheriffs will receive an intimation
that they are not to carry out The sentence of execution,
but that the prisoner must be detained in Newgate until
her Majesty's pleasure ;with regard to bim shall become
known.
