Cambridge boat wac pulled few feet
ahead. In this second stage the race w6s
exciting. The Cambridge men made sev'
eral spurts to get away from their compel
itors, but the latter responded instantly
and successfully to each, and when Ham,
mersmith bridge was reached the Cam
bridge boat was but quarter Of length
ahead. A mile and halt had now been
rowed and the contest continued stubborn,
fairly even and exciting up to the two and
half mile point opposite Cheswlck
Church. Here Oxford sFurted. The boat
responded Dy fairly shooting along until lie
prov got even with that OF Cambridge and
then passed it by q few feet.
The contestants were urged on By cheer
ing that was loud and inspiring. The Cam
bridge men gradually sent their boat up
even with that Of Oxford, and the boats
we're kept even until barnes bndge was
