CANB.RIDGE and OXFORD .BOAT-RACE.

THIS DAY.

This great aquatic tournament, which is looked to year
after year with such all-absorbing interest, came off at a
very early hour this morning—the course, as usual, being
from Putney to Mortlake. It will be recollected that last
year the race terminated, to the utter astonishment of the
knowing ones, who had laid large sums of money on the
Cambridge boat, by the sinking of their favourite's boat
soon after passing, the Barnes railway bridge, thus allowing
the Oxford crew to row in winners. But at the same time
it must be observed that from the commencement of that
contest the Oxford crew had it all their own way,, and such
was the certainty of the result that the "professionals"
declared the state of the betting to be a guinea
to a gooseberry on Oxford. With a determination, if pos-
sible, of regaining their lost laurels, the Cantabs crew this
year have been in very severe training, and previous to
starting the betting was 5 'to 4 on Oxford. The Oxford
crew embraced, wo believe, four of the gentlemen who last
year competed for the honours of the day, and this fact
was looked upon by many as greatly in their favour. As
early as six o'clock the greatest bustle prevailed at Putney.
The early trains brought down crowds of persons anxious
to witness the start, and, as that interesting event drew
nigh, large numbers of the Citizen and other steamers
arrived, and from their crowded state appeared anything
but safe or comfortable.

Both banks of the river were crowded with spectators,
and the towing path was coxered with horsemen, nearly
all of whom sported either dark blue (Oxford) or light blue
(Cambridge) favours. The riser swarmed with craft of all
kinds, from outriggers up to the overloaded steamers ;
and the scone, although the weather was not the most pro-
pitious, was one of great animation. The following were
the respective crews :

The Cantabs showed about a quarter past 8, and as they
emerged from Messrs. Searle's they wore loudly cheered,
but in a very short time the Oxford boat followed, and the
appearance of both crews sailed forth universal admiration.
After the usual preliminary "spell" the toss for stations
took place, which, as usual, was won by the Oxford crew,
who of course chose the Middlesex side of the river. They
took up their position nearly in front of the second buttress
of the bridge, the Cantabs being as: close by their side as
the rules of the race allowed.

A most beautiful start was effected, each crew taking
the water at the same instant, the Oxford stroke
being the most rapid, but the Cambridge the longer,
and to all appearance , the stronger. After a few
tremendous pulls the Cambridge crew began to show a few
feet in advance, but they were overhauled by the Oxonians
at the Star and Garter, and a most ekciting struggle en-
sued. The shouts from the occupants of the rolling and
overcrowded steamers were tremendous. For a short dis-
tance both boats kept well together, straining every nerve
to the utmost, but the Oxford steadily drew ahead. At
Finch's they were fully 12 feet in advance. At this point
the race with all its fierce excitement commenced in earnest
The Cantabs here "put on the steam," and the immense
power with which their boat was propelled through the
water was wonderful. After a few more powerful strokes
the Cantabs began seriously to gain on their opponents.
The cheers of their supporters encouraged them to further
effort, andthe boat seemed to fly through the water like an
arrow. The Oxonians, at the advantage they had already
obtained, made immense efforts to maintain it, but stroke
by stroke the powerful crew of the Cambridge boat dimi-
nished the distance. Until beyond Craven Cottage the
Oxonians maintained their lead ; but amongst the specta-
tors the more experienced and cautious were of opinion that
the stroke, which was a very rapid one, could not last for the
rest of the distance. This opinion was in some measure
realised, for in a very short time after, when nearing the
Crab Tree, one of the Oxonians " caught a crab," which
turned out most unfortunately for, them. The Cantabs,
Who up to this moment had made it a very sharp contest,
immediately took advantage of the circumstance, and in
an instant shot forward nearly half a length,
and at Hammersmith-bridge they led by that distance.
The Oxonians then made the most desperate efforts to
overtake their adversaries, but the Cambridge boat having
got the lead deteraained to hold the post of honour to the
last. The shouts of the friends of the Oxford men wore
terrific, but all seemed to no purpose, the lead once lost it
seemed, as it turned out, an impossibility to regain it.
The Oxonians made several final spurts, but, despite every-
thing, the Cantabs arrived at the winning post, the Ship
at Mortlake, six seconds in advance of their opponents.
The cheering with which the triumph of the Cantabs
was received was tremendous.

The distance from Putney to Mortlake was rowed in
under 26 minutes.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

Of the many aquatic • contests which have taken
place between the two universities, never, w-
imps, was there a better contested race ; not that
the result was doubtful to the initiated after the
boats passed Hammersmith bridge, for then it was
evident that the Oxford men were fagged ; their
sharp, quick stroke, advantageous as it is in
a short race or a spurt, being very distressing,
and a crew require to be in better training than
the Oxonians were this day to stay the pace through
a four and a quarter mile race. In going to the
starting-point the style of the Oxsnians was decidedly
superior to that of the Cantabs. There was more dash and
life in their stroke, and it was the remark of old Cambridge
men on the bank, " Oxford looks three to one the best,"
and at the start the decided lead which they took seemed
to favour this opinion, but the Cambridge men evidently
did not mean to push too much at first, but maintained the
long, steady stroke which, of old, in the heavier class of
boats then rowed in, ensured success, and although the
short clipping stroke answers in the new light out-
riggers, nevertheless, as the result of the race
this day proved, for a long distance it still
has the advantage. 'When nearing Hammersmith
bridge, the boats were oar and oar, the Cambridge having a
slight advantage, but the Oxford men were straining while
the Cantabs were doing steady work only. Off Hammersmith-
bridge, number one of Oxford had had enough of it, and his
oar only kept time from this to the end ; although they
struggled manfu,lly their chance was gone, and Cambridge
won easy by a length and a half.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(Tms DAy.)
Their lordships assembled to .day, in order that the
Stamp Duties Bill and the Income-tax Bill, after being read a
third time in the Commons, might be brought up to their
lordships' house and read a first timb.
This having been done, their lordships adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS Day.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock.
SCOTCH FISHERIES BILL.

Mr. B. COCHRANE gave notice that on Monday next
he would move for leave to bring in this bill.

THE LAND TRANSPORT CORPS

Mr. J. LOCKE gave notice that on going into com-
mittee on the army estimates he would call the attention of
the house to the claims of the Land Transport Corps.
INCOME TAX BILL —PUBLIC BUSINESS.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in mov-
ing the third reading of this bill, stated the course which
Government proposed to pursue with respect to public
business during next week. On Monday he intended to
bring forward what were called the Customs' duties
charges, and the Wine Licensing Bill on the same day.
On Tuesday he would report the remaining resolutions.
When the house met after Easter he would put these re-
solutions into one bill, which would then be sub-
mitted to the house, but he would not require hon.
members to consider the same until some time
after the holidays. In the Committee of Ways and Means
it would be his duty to ask the house to vote the charges of
licensing, as a necessary and supplemental measure to the
Wine Licensing Bill.
Mr. HENLEY objected to the introduction of a clause
in the bill on Wednesday, which was not printed, of which
nobody previously knew anything. He did oppose the
clause, but he considered in a bill of such importance as the
present, such a course should not have been pursued.
After some explanation by the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, the bill was read a third time and passed.
STAMP DUTIES BILL.

After some discussion on a technical paint, the order for
the third reading of the bill was discharged, and the bill
was recommitted.

The clause relating to contract notes was then struck out,
and the house resumed.

The bill was then read a third time and passed.
BANKRUPT LAW (SCOTLAND) AMENDMENT

' BILL.
This bill was considered and ordered for third reading on
Monday.

SIR JOIIN BARNARD'S ACT AMENDMENT
BILL.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved
for leave to bring in this bill, which, after some discussion,
was agreed to.
The bill was then read a first time.
The house adjourned at 20 minutes after one o'clock.
