AQUATICS.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY EIGHT-OAR BOAT

RACES.

These annual races, which always excite so much interest
among the members of the University, commenced on Wed-
nesday evening, and attracted, as usual, an immense num-
ber of spectators on both banks of the Isis. These races
have been looked forward to with more than ordinary in-
terest, in consequence of the recent victory of the Oxonians
in the Oxford and Cambridge boat race which took place on
the Thames in April last, and because these races afford
some indication of the probable strength of the crews which
will be called upon to sustain the honour of the University
in the ensuing year. The weather was beautifully fine, and
a larger company was probably never assembled to witness
one of these exciting contests. The following was the
position of the boats at starting :

1. Exeter. 9. Brazenose.
2. Balliol. 10. St. John's.
3. Oriel. 11. Christ Church, second.
4. Pembroke. 12. Worcester.
5. University. 13. Corpus.
6. Trinity. 14. Jesus.
7. Christ Church, first. 15. Queen's.
8. Wadham. 16. Magdalen.
Brazenose bumped Wadham at Harvey's barge ; Corpus
bumped Worcester, whose boat got out of the course, and
enabled Jesus to bump the second Christ Church, whereby
Jesus gained three places in one night,—a circumstance
which has not occurred since 1847. Magdalen bumped
Queen's soon after starting. The race, however, which
most absorbed attention was that between the first two
erews. On passing the junction of the Cherwell the dis-
tance between the two boats was not more than three yards,
but after a gallant struggle Exeter succeeded in maintain-
ing its position at the head of the river, which position it
has held since the commencement of the races in 1857.
