THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

The crows representing the rival universities hare at
length been finally arranged, and their practice will now
be watched with groat interest. There has been no change
in the Oxford boat since our last report, and the crew,
having been practising daily over the long course to
Abingdon, aro again in advance of their opponents. The
new " eight," built for them by Salter, is finished, and
will bo launched at the latter end of the present week.
The floods having somewhat subsided, Mr. Morrison and
several old university hands coach them from the towing
path. Several alterations have been made in the Cam-
bridge crew, and it being now finally settled that Mr.
Marsden will not row, Messrs. Steavonson and Kinglake
who have been alternately rowing No. 6, have taken their
places in the boat, Mr. Underhill leaving the crow. These
changes have made vast improvement in the style and pace
of the crew. On Monday they rowed over the long course
in the new boat built by Mat Taylor, of Newcastle, and
were coached by Mr. Chambers.

The following 'is a correct return of the names and
weights of tho gentlemen forming the crew :
