THE TORPID RACES.

These races were resumed on Saturday, when four more
bumps were made. The boats started in the order be-

low :

Brasenose Balliol t Wadham Exeter 2d
Exeter Pembroke f Trinity / Magdalen
University Queen's Worcester f New Col-
Corpus Lincoln St. John's logo
Christ Church
University failed to catch Exeter, though at one time they
pressed them close. Trinity again lost their place to Wor-
cester. They had been bumped by the latter boat on the
first day, but on Friday at the start Worcester were un-
lucky enough to drift across the stream, and before they
could recover from the mishap Trinity wore into them.
Magdalen were bumped by New College, and having lost
the three places they had to lose, took off.
On Monday, though there was no bump, some of the
racing was very exciting, and the bank being at last dry
more interest ;was exhibited. Christ! Church were very
close upon University, but could not quite succeed in
making their fourth bump. St. John's gained upon Tri-
nity, but, making " a shot" in the Gut, fell away again,
and could not recover what they had lost. New College
were close upon Second Exeter, and at the Cherwell over-
lapped them by some feet, but could not touch, and were
again loft behind.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BOAT CLUB.
On Saturday it was currently reported that Mr. Mars-
den, of St. John's, had, definitely announced he would not
be able to row in the Putney eight. This rumour, unfor-
tunately, proved too true, and naturally created a general
feeling of disappointment throughout the University, as
great hopes had been entertained that he would have taken
his place in the boat yesterday. The greatest credit is due
to the officers of the club for the trouble they have taken
to select a good crew, and if the boat should be ultimately
unsuccessful it will not be the fault of the president and
secretary, who have certainly been most indefatigable in
the interests of the Light Blue. On Saturday the follow-
ing crew went over the course, " easying" once during
the row :

1. Mr. Underhill, Caius 5. Mr. Bourke, First Trinity
2. Mr. Cadman, Peterhouse 6. Mr. Steavenson, Trinity
3. M. Still, Coins 119.11
4. Mr. Fortescue, Magdalen I 7. Mr. Watney, Lady Marg.
Mr. Kinglake, Third Trin. (str.)
