AQUATICS.

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHT-OARED

MATCH.

PUTNEY, THURSDAY.

As the Oxford and Cambridge boat race will
be rowed at so early an hour on Saturday morning
next, few out of thousands will be able to witness it.
Tho, who saw the gallant race of this morning be-
tween the Oxonians and the London Watermen
may, in many cases, probably be content to take it
as a substitute. This race, whish ordinarily pre-
cedes the University match, generally attracts a vast
number of spectators, and did so this morning—the
weather, from its peculiar fineness, being very in-
viting. Amongst the number assembled through
the whole course were many ladies, who watched the
proceedings with much interest.
The Cantabs were out first, at about 10 o'clock,
and, after paddling up to Hammersmith, rowed
briskly down through Putney. They were doing
36 strokes at first, slightly increased it, and then
spurting towards the finish got up to 41.
The London Watermen, at 11 o'clock, stepped
into their boat, and, under the direction of Harry
Kelley, the champion, who was their captain, rowed
up the river to Mortlake, it having been determined
that the " spin " between them and the Oxonians
should be rowed down with the tide, which was run-
ning very slack.
They started at Barnes Bridge. The watermen
had the best station, and they started evenly. The
watermen drew a slight lead at the first, but soon
the gentlemen were level. The watermen rowed
very gallantly, and were gradually overhauled bit
by bit until below the bathing-place, where the Ox-
ford finished, with a lead of half a length. In the
middle of Corney-reach another start was effected,
and the watermen, as before, drew a slight lead, but
were again gradually outrowed off Chiswick Eyot.
There was a very fine spurt after that.
