The course will be, as usual upon the London River,
between Barker's-rails, Mortlake, and Putney, and the
event creates considerable interest in aquatic circles and
various clubs. The Oxonians are slightly the favourites,
it being understood that they were earlier at work, and
possess some trifling advantage in size over their oppo-
nents. It is thought that the race will be rowed down-
wards on the ebb tide.
