Details of the Race.
LONDON, April 1.-The great boat race for the
championship of the Universities came off this
forenoon on the Thames. The course was the
usual one from Putney to Mortlake. Both
crews were on the water promptly at the call of
time, and the choice of position was won by the
Oxfords who took the Mddlesex side of the
river.
Both crews got splendid start, but Cam
bridge took slight lead upon the instant, and
maintained it throughout the race. The tide
was slack and the water lumpy.
The race was well contested from the start to
the finish, but the result was never in doubt, as
it was early apparent that the Cambridge men
were the better crew. Cambridge took her
opponents water at Barnesbridge, and shot
under the arch several lengths ahead After
passing the bridge, the Oxford started and
slightly decreased the lead of the Cambridge,
which quickly after passed the stake-boat thee
lengths ahead.
The Time of the Winning Crew
lined the river banks and filled the bridges.

witnessed the race. The widest excitement pre-
vailed among the spectators, who were all en-
thusiastic supporters of one or the other of the
contestants.

of people and vehicles.
