An Immense Crowd Witnesses
the Struggle Between the
Varsity Crews.
CAMBRIDGE AGAIN DEFEATED.
This Is the Seventh Consecutive Be at.
ing Administered by the Cham.
pion Oarsmen.

LONDON, Eng. March 2s.-The annual
rowing contest between the Oxford and
Cam bridge eights took place over the
course from Putney to Mortlake to-day in
the presence of the usual crowd of Lon
doners and provinciais and was won by
Oxford by quarter of a length. The
weather was extremely disagreeable. At
10 o'clock the wind was blowing hard and
the rain was falling i'll torrents. This con-
dition was followed by glimpses of sun
shine, but several times later there were
heavy hailstorms of short duration.
The length of the course was four and a
quarter miles. The boats got off at :03
P NJ Cambridge was pulling forty-eight
strokes the first minute and at the soap
works led by half length. At Hammer
smith bridge Cam bridge still held her lead
of half length and at ChiswicK she was
nearly length ahead.
From this point, however, Oxford be-
gan to gain and, nearing the bridge, drew
rapidly up on tae leaders, who had lost
more than half of their advantage and
were only three-quarters of length ahead.
In shooting the bridge Cambridge was
hampered by the rough water and failed
to maintain her lead. Oxford gradually
crept up on the Cambridge boat.
The Oxford boat from this point drew
ahead and reached the Ship Hotel at Mort
lake, the finishing point, winner by a
quarter of length, adding one more to
Oxford's list of six consecutive victories,
while Cam bridge has won a varsity race.
The usual cheers and screeching of whis-
ties greeted the victorious crew, and the
usual scenes in other respects were en-
acted. Only for slight differences made
by the weights, one years show along the
Thames championship course from Put
ney to Mortlake is exactly like another.
Following are the crews and the last
weights posted, but the men were each
about a pound and half lighter at the
start than these indicated.
Oxford-J. J. Deknoops new, bow, 159
pounds; c. K. Phillips (new), 172; e. G..

This is the seventh consecutive defeat
administered by Oxford to the rival uni
versity of Cambridge, and not since 1891
has the latter club given the winners so
close race. In 1891 Oxford won by a
quarter of a length, as it did to-day, the
intervening races having been won by
from one and half to three and half
lengths. In the last twenty years the
time made to-day, 20:0l. has only been
beaten twice. In the race of 1892 Oxford
won by two and quarter lengths in 10 81,
and in 1893 she won by two and half
lengths in 18:47.
