day on which the regular hard training COM

unavoidable circumstances. SO many shtings and
changes in the oxford crew that until they put in
an appearance at Putney and got regularly to
work on the London water their chances of sue
cess were looked upon as very slight indeed.
Layers or odds went IN to pepper the unhappy
Oxonians and it was Lombard street to China
orange' against them. IL certainly was not the
iaut but rather the misfortune or the Oxford
stroke that his father died and that ne was con-
sequently Obliged to absent himself for some
days from training and practice. 1t was not the
fault of Mr.. Darbshire, the excellent coach that
after he had settled upon his crew he found better
and bigger men, who mad hitherto hung back, ex-
press their Willingness to join. Putney practice
showed shortcomings, which had not been OBJ
served on the Isis, and all things seemed to COM
bine against the chances OF the dark blue. Never

SO well and so hard, both on land and water,

true sportsman, unconnected with either uniyer-
sity, thought well as hoped that Mr. Darhishires
pupils would reverse the fate which Tor the last
Jour years has been in store for them, more espe-
ciaily when 1t was known that the CaDtabs were
undecided as TO which OF the boats specially built
Tor them they would choose TO row IN. Last night
there was usual, the greatest excitement at the

the lobbies resound with the latest news OF the
condition OF Jones OF Magdalen, or Thomas OF
Trinity while at the various sporting taverns the
talk was more busincssEe, and the latest intel-
gence brought by the scouts who haunt the tow
