TILE UNIPERSITT BOAT RACE.

PU'TNEY, Wednesday.
A trial rowed by the Cantabs this morning has
raised the hopes of their partisans, and that justly
so, that the odds of 7 to 4 which are freely laid, are
as freely accepted. Cambridge backers, however,
will not accept less odds.

The Cambridge boat was rowed up by William
Asplin, the University waterman, and IV. W. East,
foreman at Style's boat-yard, where she is housed
in the Leander Club shed. The Cantabs got in her
at the Ship at Mortlake, paddled up, drifted
down to the Ship, and started on a moderate
ebb with no wind ; the time to Barnes at 37 strokes
per minute was 3 min. 25 secs. ; and sustaining
the pace, the crew indifferently steered, did good
time to Hammersmith, but fell off slightly after-
wards ; their time thence to Putney Aqueduct
being 8 min. 55 secs., and the whole course in 21
mins. 20 secs. The coxswain's voice was raise 1 to
the middle men all the way from Hammer-
smith, and those of whom the call-boy ex-
pecte 1 most rowed decidedly bad. It must
be borne in mind, however, that the crew do not
require hard work, and that the weather was hot
this morning.

The Oxonians left the boat yard to row a scratch
eight of University men, but nothing of note had
transpired when our report left.
