AQUATICS.

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHT-OARED

MATCH.

Putney was the scene of considerable bustle and
animation on Saturday afternoon, a great number
of persons having assembled to take part in the pro-
ceedings of the day, and by far a greater number to
look on. The London Rowing Club, the time-
honoured Leander, the West London, and the Ilex
were all there, the first-named having a twelve and
three eights manned, while the West London had
two eights and fours, and the others furnished their
quota to the fleet. We need hardly say that although
this was very interesting, the principal source of
attraction was the University men and the Univer-
sity men's doings, which are being daily watched
with increased interest and enxiety, and form a
wide scope of speculation at prices ranging from 6
to 4t02 to 1 on Oxford. The Cantabs went up
to Mortlake about an hour before high water, on a
very good tide, with a stiff breeze,
mainly from the
southward. They commenced their ro in, at 37
w
ll
strokes per minute, their oars beink;t wet

their
he
orir
through the water, but setting, as s r us,

the belowtheirwat
er early work
enough,and ha rdl y catchingbesides in one
two instances feathering hardly clear of the water.
In other respects there was marked
improvement in
their rowing. The wind was foul for them in Cox%
ney Reach, and the water rough, owing to which
their number of strokes was abated to 34 per
minute for a time, but afterwards increased by de-
grees to 40, at which they finished, doing the course
in 21 min. 40 sec. They rowed back steadily and
well. As one of the rival crew had had occasion to
go to Oxford and the remainder were awaiting his
return, which was not until the afternoon was far
advanced, the Oxonians did not go over the whole
course, but having paddled against the tide up to
within a mile of Barnes-bridge had a smart pull
down on the ebb to Putney. Their rowing indi-
cated improvement, and they rowed very strongly.
There is very little doubt that ere the day of the
