OXFORD WINS RACE.
Perfect Weather for this Biz Boating
 Event To-Day.

London, April 1.-Oxford today won the annual boat race with Cam bridge by three to four lengths.
 The race was rOwed in beautiful weather. There was not a ripple on the water and the wind was very light. Consequently there was not much advantage in the choice of sta tions. This """+"st. always attractive. drew an unusually big crowd to-day as the waterside experts had all pro phesied the best race in years owing to the evenness of the crews. The prophecy, however. was not fulfilled, Oxford speedily taking the lead and heading the procession to the finish.
 Cambridge won the toss and select ed the Surrey side of the river The boats got away to a splendid start at n :A a. m.. but Buckhall set the dark blues (Oxfortl). a slashing stroke of 3,; to the minute and almost immediately established a lead which was never lost.
 When Craven steps were reached the OXOnians were q full length to the front and the cheering of their sup pOrters on the river banks was some thing to he long renembered. Both crews were still rowing strong. but the dark blues continued to come away and soon had two lengths ad- vantage.
 Passing the Saccharine works Fay Tor Oambridge) called on the light blues Uambridge). who made a gal iant response and closed the gap by half length. But the dark blues stroke soon shook off their rivals. OK ford quickly regained the lost advan- tage and added to their lead.
 Off Chiswick it was evident that the race had already been decided. Some of the Cambridge crew showed signs that they were weakening. but Taylor made another effort with stroke somewhat faster than that of Oxford. It was not well pulled through. however. and a lack of rhythm was manifest. Thereafter the leaders were never pressed and passed the ship at Mortlake the easiest of winners by three lengths. Time. 20 minutes B seconds.

APRIL FOOL DAY.
Ushsssd in With March Winds and
 Clouds of Dust.

The April fool joker was not so much in evidence about town to-day as on former occasions, but he did some clever work just the same. and as a re- suit of his pranks more than one per son had to fall back upon his stock of good nature to save himself from los ing his temper. In many instances jokers were ungallant enough to amuse themselves by making April fools of the fair sex, and one or two of them had such success at the business they came near getting themselves into trouble, and they may have to ex- plain yet when they meet with the best ''fellers" of the girls whom they fooled. The wind was the principal poker of fun at everybody about the public streets and those who were out and escaped it's antics were few and far between. If it failed to knock your hat off and send you hustling after it, to the great delight of spectators, it threw dust in your eyes and affected your vision so that it was quite diff cult to steer clear of Instructions. It was a day mingled with wind, dust, sport, tears, laughter and cuss words, with a liberal share of kicking at somebody for not having the sprinkling carts out to give battle to the dirt of the streets which the wind seemed to take delight in tossing in all directions to the great confusion of pedestrians, storekeepers and private families, near ly all of whom would extend cordial welcome to the invigorating breeze provided it came unaccompanied by clouds of filth of every description. But if we didn't have these things to rail at probably there might have been elements of disturbance which would have caused more trouble. The other day everybody was finding fault about the ice and snow; now it is something else, so that in general way we are a restless lot of human beings and if we had nothing to make fuss over we would be put to the additional trouble of thinking out something to talk about. With all its objections. it was a good, healthy day, and if a man didn't have too bad an attack of the blues he could get around and be very happy.
