They went away at a good pace ' • Oxford took a slight
lead at first, closely waited upon by blue. The Oxford,
as they passed the committee barge, had increased their
advantage, and the Wandsworth crew were quickly over-
lapping the Brocas, who in the next twenty strokes fell
right astern. Wandsworth challenged the Oxford boat,
and a very spirited race followed up to Hammersmith-
bridge. Oxford got away by dint of very severe rowing,
and ultimately only won by a length.

in downright earnest. Black then took a slight lead,
followed by purple and yellow, and yellow and white.
As they approached Hammersmith Bridge the Shields
crew fell astern, Black went on leading and WOE by half
a length only; the Oxford watermen having pressed

EIGHT-OARED RACE, FOR THE GRAND CHALLENGE Cur.

The Thames were the favourites at 6 to 4,
but there
was very little done in the way of betting. All parties
rowed extremely well; it was anything but a close con-
test. The Thames took the lead, closely followed by
the Leander; the style of rowing in both boats being
extremely fine, but on their arrival at the committee
boat the Thames had drawn their length clear, and were
going away from them in good style. The Leander
rowed a very plucky- stern wager, and made some
powerful efforts to get the first place, but were unsuc-
cessful. The Thames won by three lengths or so.

second place; red and white dropped astern, and then

Yellow took the lead, and kept it the whole way. Pink
and blue were close together in the rear, the latter having
made a bad start, from his boat being athwart at the
