THE VARSITY RACE.
The Cambridge Crew Beats oxford
on the Thames.

LONDON, April 3.-The annual university boat
race between the Oxford and Cambridge crews
was rowed this afternoon over the usual course on
the Thames River from Putney to Mortlake, and
resulted, as was expected, in victory for Cam
bridge time 22m. 291a Sec, the poorest time
made since 1877. The sky was cloudy, the
weather mild and the wind pretty strong at the
start and during the race. The water was suffi-
ciently "lumpy" to put to a thorough test the
stamina of the men engaged in the contest. The
betting was in favor Of the Cambridge crew. The
river banks were crowded. Yankee enterprise
entertained the sightseers almost as much as the
contest between the university athletes. An
American manufacturing company sent up several
hundred small balloons from Putney containing
advertisements of their wares and offering some
of them free to finders of the balloons There
was consequently great rushing among the i'm
mense crowds to secure balloons as they came to
to the ground. The sport occasioned by the
whole affair was great and indescribable. Amid
all this jollity large gang of rough and illclad
men appeared on the scene, as If to remind the
holiday-Inakers that there were some Englishmen
who were incapable of enjoying themselves.
These marched in procession along the race
course, headed by band and bearing banner
calling attention to the distress prevailing among
the unemployed workmen of England, and con-
tanning the inscription; ''You live; we starve"
