LONDON, Eng, March 21.-The forty
eighth of the famous boat-races between
the crews of Oxford and Cambridge UNI
versities was decided this morning, 1t
was won by quarter-length by OXFORD IN
TWENTY-FIVE minutes. The race was over
the usual course. The distance is about
four land one-quarter miles over course
shaped somewhat like the letter BE"
TIE COURSE CROWDED.
The Thames Conservancy Board policed
the course and assigned the proper posi-
tions TO many hundreds of steamers and
barges loaded with oarsmen and their ad-
mirers, which were anchored or moored
along the river. In addition. the house
tops, tow-paths. streets, and other points
of vantage near the Thames about Putney
itself and az Hammersmith, Barnes, Mort
lake, and other places were crowded with
spectators.
THE RACE IN DETAIL.
Oxford won the toss and chose the Mid
dlesex or north shore. Hail and snow were
falling az the race was started, and strong
northeast wind across the course was
raising a very lumpy sea. Cambridge got
smarter, more catching stroke than Oxford,
which used that .University's old. long,
dragging. powerful stroke. Oxford gradu-
ally went forward. and mile and three
furlongs from the start had length the
best of it.
NOSE AND NOSE.
The sun then came out, and Cambridge,
squirting with vim, the two boats were
soon nose and nose, Cambridge, amid
great enthusiasm. then getting trifiing
lead. Oxford pulled doggedly away, how
ever. and at two miles had again taken
slight lead.
A DEAD-HEAT PREDICTED.
The race was q grand one, and many
were predicting dead-heat, as the boats
kept almost on even terms until three and
half miles were passed, when Oxford got
half length the advantage.
THE FINAL sPURTs AND TIE IND.
The race then depended on the squirting
powers of tho rivals. Oxford had better
water toward the finish. and after a mag
nificent struggle came in the winner by
quarter length of the best race in years.

and fought the officers like demon. He
taxed the officers combined strength, but
thew at last bound him hand and foot with
ropes brought by the servants. His
screams brought the President aud some
of the members of his household to the
