Proves Very Exciting.

LoSDoS, March 2l.-Oxford, "a was
expected, was the victor IN the varsity
boat race today. crossing the line u
Il quarter OF length ahead of the

most unfavorabie, but the start was ef-
fected IN a burst OF brilliant sunshine.
Cambridge shortly took the lead and
AT Hammersmith bridge was quarter
of length ahead. Then oxford over
hauled them, got the lead, and kept lt
10 the end. But the race was an extra

ahead winch oxford steadily main
tancd 10 the last. The enthusiasm
among the spectators was most extra
ordinary, even at these races. Thou
sands ran along the banks shouting and
cheering TO encourage their favorlte

The race is generally conceded to
have been = most interesting and ex-
citing one, and the Twenty fifth victory
for oxford Is looked upon IS beng
among the most brilliant of the univer-
sity's trlumphs.
