ETON AND WES TM7NSTER EIGHT-
OARED .RACE-(THIS .DAY).

From the long interval which has elapsed since the last
contest, no aquatic event has caused such intense interest
among the higher classes as the race which was rowed this
afternoon between the colleges of Eton and Westminster
from Piitney to Chiswick, Mr. Chitty, of Exeter College,
Oxford, acted as umpire. Owing to the unfavourable state
of the weather, the attendance was not very large. Tile
following were the crews :

ETON.—H. Garnet, 9st 131 b; Lord Borington, 9st 101 b;
R. Kinglake, lOst 31b; E. H. Wynne, lOst 81b; R. K. L.
Burton, list 61b ; H. B. Rhodes, lOst 101 b ; C. B. Limes,
9st 71b ; R. H. B. Humfrey, lOst 51b. F. Hopwood (cox).
WESTMINSTER.—W. Wynne, Bst llb ; A. R. Tomlinson,
9st 131 b ; A. C. Onslow, lOst 91b ; J. C. Hawkshaw, lOst
61b; E. M. Tomlinson, lOst 91b; B. Thorns, lOst 131 b; W.
S. Wright, lOst 21b; J. Forster, 9st; J. 0. Yates (cox),
6st 81b.

A good start having been effected, the Eton crew soon
began to go ahead, and the race from the commencement
never was in doubt, as the Etonian kept the lead, and
won easily by eight or nine boat lengths.
Mr. Searle, as usual, provided accommodation on board
his steamer for the representatives of the press.
