THE ENGLISH BOAT RACE.

London, April 5.-The thirty-sixth race
between the Cambridge and Oxford univer-
city crews took place shortly after loon TO-
day, on the Thames river over the usual
course, Putney to Marlake, about four miles
and two furlongs. Cambridge, as was ex.
pected, won BY v lengths. This is the
seventeenth victory for them, Oxford win
ming eighteen times. Two years ago both
crews crossed the line on even terms. There
was little betting to-day. Five to one on
Cambridge was offered, but six to one want
ed.
The morning opened warm with q heavy
fog and west wind, rain threatening, bot
about 10 o'clock the weather became bright
er, though the wind was still from an un.
favorable quarter.
The time of the race was 81 minutes and
Is seconds. Cambridge led from the start,
and the result was never doubtful. Oxford
won the choice Of positions and took the
Surrey side. At Hammersmith bridge, a
mile and three-quarters from the starting
point, Cambridge was three lengths ahead,
going a. they pleased, thirty six strokes to
the minute. The race was virtually over at
the top of Chiswick Eyot, about six furlongs
further on, where Cambridge was five
lengths ahead. There was some surf in
Corey reach which shckened the pace, and
Oxford. steering better, might have came
up, but the crew appeared exhausted. Cam
bridge, rowing steadily, maintained the adj
vantage, and quickening the stroke in the
last quarter, won BY six or eeven lengths.
