OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE.
The boat race was announced as victory
for the Oxford by less than half length
and the extras of the afternoon papers 90
declared, but the two coxswlins, the Judge
and umpire will meet at two o'clock to de-
eide whether Oxford won or the race was
dead heat. The reason for this is the am
biguous form of the judges decision,
namely, dead heat by two yards"
SECOND DISPATCH.
The thirty-fourth university boat race re-
suited for the first time in dead heat. Tho
course was the usual one on the Thames
from Putney to Mortlake, four mile, ami
two furlongs. The number of spectators
was small, with not half as many steam
vessels and launches as usual. The start
was made at 1927 o'clock, the Oxford oars
taking water first, aud they vera eight feet
ahead in half dozen strokes. This lead
they held TO Dukes head, where Cambridge
drdw up and became level half way be-
tween Dukes head and simmons. A yard
off the latter place they went ahead about
four feet. At the London boathouse the
crews occupied about the same relative po-
sitions, though Cambridge rowed some
what the better. AT Craven cottage, six
furloDSs from the start, the boats were
about level. Oxford forged ahead, and
when about mile had been traversed, led
by about one-third of length. At Crab
tree, Oxford led by few feet. At the
distillery, somewhat over a mile and four
furlongs from the start Cambridge once
more showed in front two or three feet. AT
the oil mills, two miles and slightly over a
furlong from the start Oxford drew up
alongside. At the bottom of Chiswick
Eyot Oxford was again in front, being bet
ter together than Cambridge, who seemed
much troubled by rough water. At CHS.

ed, Oxford had increased its advantage to
two-thirds of length, and the race was ap-
parently no longer in doubt. Rounding the
bend into Horseshoe reach the water be-
came smoother and Cambridge gained, but
Oxford drew away and was nearly length
ahead. Off the bathing place, nine fun
longs from the winning point, Cambridge
made another effort, but Only reduced Ok
ford's lead to two-thlrds length. No fur
Their change occurred up 10 BsTnes's bridge,
five furlongs further on, through which
Oxford passed nearly length ahead, and
off the White Hart, four furlongs from the
winning goal, was over length in ad
vance. Off the Lines, but slightly further
on, Cambridge reduced the lead of Oxford,
which momentarily got all aboard, as their
bowman was seen to be In difficulties and
unable to use his oar properly. Cam
bridge drew up within a third of length,
and terrific race then ensued to finish,
Oxford striving to retain the lead and
Cambridge to head them from the ship to
the winning post, which was stationed
some distance above the ship. Cambridge
drew up and gun was fred as the two
crews raced past the judges level amid

never wavered from his decision that the
race was dead heat.
