MANSION-HOUSE STREET.

Upon the motion that Mr. Tito M.P., do take the chair
during the temporary absence of Sir John Thwaites, he
(the chairman) said he would just say, before he left the
chair, that the board would remember that he had reported
certain engagements which had been entered into, and the
number of houses which had been dealt with, and thoan
that still remain under negotiation. Because there had been
some misapprehension in the public mind that the Board
were doing nothing, he would state that the new street t?
tho Mansion House from Cannon-street would be opened
up at once.
Mr. TITE, M.P., then took the chair, and after the usual
formal business had been transacted, the Board adjourned•

OXFORD UNIVERSITY AQUATICS.

THE FOUR•OAR OPEN RACES FOR THE SILV

CUP.
This, the greatest event for four years in connection with
the University of Oxford, was rowed onWednesday, T Lure"
day, and Friday, the 7th, Bth, and 9th inst., the prize being
a handsome and valuable large silver cup and silver medal°.
On the present occasion there were three entries only--
viz., Exeter, Wadham and Worcester, and University, the
holders of the cup. The first heat was between Exeter and
Worcester. The race was a time one, the latter having the
first station. Exeter, although 80 yards behind at starting'
could easily have passed Worcester, but to have the er
pearance of something like a race they took it very WY'
and won by 15 seconds. The respective crews were
Exeter, W. T. Pownall (bow), Wills, G. H. Morrell, U. 0.
S winney (stroke), E. G. Wyldo (coxswain). Worcester--
C. B. Lowe (bow), E. Banks, E. Carter, J. Fish (stroke),
and S. S winbourn (coxswain).
Second Heat.—Exeter and Wadham—The former had
first position. Wadham at the Gut had lessened their
distance behind, but were somewhat retarded by one of the
crew catching a crab. This allowed Exeter time to recover
their lost ground, and rather more, but Wadham rowed 0°
pluckily and with such determination that when tbel
reached the Cherwell the race was about even. From this
point to tbo winning post the struggle was a desperate one,
and Wadham had the pleasure of hearing their pistol fired
first, probably a second before they heard the Exeter re"
port. Exeter were greatly the favourities. Every one We°
surprised at the result, and probably none more so than
the winning crew.
The Final Heat was between Wadham and University'
the holders of the cup. From the fine style of Wadham
on Thursday, whereby they defeated Exeter, their friend°
were sanguine that they would have the satisfaction Of,
defeating their opponents yesterday ; but the result prove'
the great superiority of the University crew, who, al-
though being 80 yards in the roar, could have passed thelli
with ease. Wadham had not the slightest chance--the
winner's pistol-shot was heard 15 seconds before the other'
University has now won the cup and medals three year° 11l
succession.
