AQUA TICS.

711 E OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE ROWING

MATCH.

The Oxford crew have had a trial with eight of the
140IIdon watermen from Mortlake to Putney.

The Watermen crew consisted of the following :—H.
Phelps, G. Driver, F. Kelly, T. Mackinney, J. Mackinney.
T. Pocock, G. Hammertoe, H. Kelly (stroke), and John
Phelps, coxswain.
The Watermen were given a start of a boat's length and
a half, but before Hammersmith Bridge was reached the
Oxford overhauled them, and, after a spirited contest, they
reached Putney aqueduct a length in advance of the
Watermen.
In the event of fine calm weather to-morrow, a splendid
race is anticipated.
We have jest heard that the umpire's boat will leave
London•bridge tomorrow morning at eight, instead of ten
o'clock, as hitherto fixed.
