TILE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

Resuming the work from yesterday both crews
were out early this morning. The Oxford
crew went out first, and paddled to Mort-
lake, easing several times on the road, and
coached from the bank by Messrs. Morrison
and Risley. After a rest at Mortlake, they
rowed the entire course on the ebb, accomplish-
ing it at somewhat over in 21 min. 8 secs. If this
be true it is one of the finest trials ever rowed at
the state of tide. The Cautabs went out after-
wards, and, with Mr. T. S. Egan, their
trainer, at the coxswain's thwart, and
coached from the bank by Mr. W. R.
Griffiths, the stroke of last year, went as far as
Chiswick; rowing a trial between the bridges in very
fast time, doing 36 and 37 strokes per minute.
At 5.30 the Cantabs were to row the London
Rowing Club twelve oar.

should therefore move that the following new standing
order be added to the roll of standing orders :—" That the
practice

A great number of petitions were presented both for and

PUBLIC BUSINESS.

Mr. BOUVERIE complained that the orders of the
day should have been appointed to take precedence of
notice of motions on Tuesday. The Marine Mutiny Bill
was fixed for a third reading chat day as the first order, an
arrangement altogether irregular and unprecedented. If
the arrangement was drawn into a precedent the right
of independent members would be seriously interfered
with, and the opportunities that now offered themselves
for bringing forward motion&
The SPEAKER said there was nothing irregular in the
proceeding, and there were many precedents for such an
arrangement.

MUTINY BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed.
MARINE MUTINY BILL.

This bill as amended having been considered was
agreed to, and read a third time.
QUEEN ANNE'S BOUNTY.

Mr. BOUVERIE postponed the moving for a select
committee to consider the matter until a future day.
IRRIGATION (INDIA).
Mr. KINNAIRD postponed moving for a select com-
mittee on this subject. Ile did so with great reluctance,
because 100,000 persons perished by famine a short time
ago, the calamity being no doubt accelerated by the want
of irrigation.
