Queen's, 0. Darbyshire was tho favourite, from having
won the Oxford University and Oxford and Cambridge
Hundred Yards Race in 1864. Mr. Cobmore will be re-
membered as winning his heat in the Oxford sports last
year, but did not got off in the final, and was not in the
first flight. Won, by two yards, in 10 sec. and 4-sths.

Second Heat.—E. Nolan, St. John's, 1; D. Morgan,
Magdalen Hall, 2,; Knight, Magdalen, 3 ; Kettlewell, Oriel,
0 ; Murray, Wadham, 0. Mr. Morgan, who was second in
the Oxford 100 yard race last year, was the favourite ; but
Mr. Nolan, although he got a ba.d'start, won by three yards
in 10 seconds and one-fifth.

Third Heat.---R. W. Vidal, St. John's, 1; Towel],
Oriel, 2 ; Wight, Wadham, 0. Mr. Vidal got off badly,
but won an exciting race by half a yard. Time, 10 sec.
and three-fifths.

Throwing the Crieketßall.—Croker, Trinity, 1, 109 yards
4 foot ; Michell, Balliol, 2, 104 yards 2 feet 8 inches ; Mat-
thews, Brasenose College, 3, 102 yards 10 inches ; Carter,
Worcester, 4, 101 yards 2 feet 10 inches. This event has

programme.

Flat Race, Quarter of a Mile Heats.—First Heat.—B.
Darbyshire, Wadham, 1; C. Y. Fell, St. John's, 2 ; Bow-
man, University, 3 ; Everest, Merton, 0. Darbyshire, who
also won the quarter of a mile race in the Oxford and Cam-
brigs and Oxford University contests in 1864, was in-
stalled the favourite, not only for the heat, but for the
final result, and Fell, who had recently run so well in Lon-
don, was somewhat fancied. The favourite made the run-
ning half the way round, when Bowman passed him, but
Darbyshire shook him off at the top of the hill, and ran in
an easy winner by seven yards, Fell gaining second
honours by a yard. Time, 56 2-3 seconds..
Second Heat.—E. Nolan, St. John's, 1; Knight, Mag-
dalen, 2 ; Fellowes, Brasenose, 3 ; Sewell, New, 0 ; Thomas,
Christ Church, 0. Nolan, who has won nearly everything
ho has gone for, was the favourite against the field.
Knight made a gallant effort to overhaul Nolan, who con-
tinued his lead into the straight, and eventually won by
four yards. Time, 55 3-5 seconds.
The final heat will take place to-day.
Graduates' Race, 300 Yards.—E. B. Michell, Magdalen,
1 ; Hall, Pembroke, 2 ; Stanhope, Merton, 0 ; Martin,
Exeter, 0. Mr. Martin was the favourite. Mr. Michell
had the race all the way, and won by several yards in 391
seconds.

Hurdle Race, 120 Yards, 10 Flights.—First Heat—King,
Merton, 1; Hilliard, Pembroke, 2 ; Corderoy, Lincoln, 0 ;
Jackson, Magdalen Hall, 0; Fell, St. John's, 0. Jackson,
the favourite, fell, and King took the lead, and won very
easily in 19 seconds.

Second Heat.—Morgan, Magdalen Hall, 1 ; Phillpott,
Magdalen, 2 ; Powell, Brasenoso, 0 : Mr. Maitland, Christ
Church, entered, but did not come to the post. Morgan
landed this heat very easily, in accordance with anticipa-
tion. Time, 18 2-5 sec.

Third Heat.:--E. W. Vidal, St. John's 1; Price, Oriel, 2 ;
Wight, Wadha.m, 0; Wilmot, University, 0. Vidal was
the favourite, and won a good race by half a yard. Time,
Hi secs.

Final Heat—Morgan, 1; Price, 2 ; King, 3 ; Vidal, 0;
Hilliard, 0 ; Phillpott, 0. Morgan was the favourite, but
Vidal was also backed freely. Morgan held the lead for
the greater portion of the distance, when Vidal wrested it
from him, and got over the last hurdle half a yard in ad-
vance. The race seemed completely at his mercy, as he
was increasing his had on the flat run in when he slipped
and sprawled in before any of his opponents, but not hav-
ing breasted the tape he was disqualified, with the above
result. It is hoped he will be allowed to represent the
"dark blue" next week, as Oxford can hardly afford to
lose so good a man, and Mr. Pricy has on previous occa-
sions succumbed to him.

High Jump—Stuart, Merton, 1,5 feet 3 inches ; Parsons,
Magdalen, 2, 5 feet 21 inches; De Montmorency, Wad-
ham, 0 ; Haggard, Magdalen, 0 ; Kennedy, Brasenoso, 0 ;
Walton, Magdalen, 0. The first and second will have the
honour offrepresenting Oxford against Cambrilge, unless
Mr. Maitland, of Christ Church, who has gone down,
should put in an appearance.
Flat Race (One Mile)—J. W. Laing, Christ Church, 1;
Bowman, University, 2. Also ran, Butter, Balliol ; Cox,
Magdalen ; Fletcher, Pembroke ; Hilton, St. Alban Hall ;
Kemble, New; Moore, Wadham Rawnsley, Corpus ;
Sandbach, S. Alban Hall ; Smith, Worcester ; and Wight,
Wadham. The Earl of Jersey and Mr. Darbyshire, who
had entered, were absentees.

Laing, from his Now College and Christ Church mile
performances, was the favourite at 6 to 4 on him.' Moore,
who was second to Lord Jersey last year, was also backed ;
and Mr. Bowman, the winner of the University College
mile, was backed to get a place. Wight went off with the
lead, which he kept for the first lap, but by the second
Rawnsley went to the fore, Wight second, Butter third.
Rawnsley kept his position until the third quarter, when the
favourite gained the front, Fletcher being next. Laing
increased his lead considerably in the last lap, and ran in
an easy winner by 20 yards. A good race for second place,
Bowman defeating Fletcher and Moore, who were third
and fourth respectively. Time 4 min. 55 sec. The time,
considering the ground, must be regarded in a favourable
light, as it is short of that of Mr. Lewes in 1864, which
was 4 min. 56 sec. The winner had plenty left in him at
the finish, and can no doubt improve his time several
seconds. Tie is in for the two mile race this day, and
will doubtless make a good struggle with Mr. Johnson, of
Exeter, who ran second to Mr. Webster at Cambridge last
year.

Throwing the Hammer.—D. Morgan, Magdalen Hall,
1,91 ft. 24iin. ; Croker, Trinity, 2,78 ft. Bin. ; Moffat, Christ
Church, 3,78 ft. 4iin.
Mr. Morgan won last year, when he only threw 86ft.
Tin. We hear he has in practice thrown over 100 ft.
