READY FOR THE
BIG BOAT RACE
ANNUAL BOAT RACE BETWEEN
CREWS OF OXFORD AND CAM
BRIDGE TOMORROW.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
London, April 6.-The annual boat
race between the crews of Oxford and
Cambridge Universities. the greatest
aquatic event of the year in England,
takes place tomorrow over the his
toric Thames course from Putney to
Mortlake. There appears to be
general feeling that the race this
year will be a close contest, and as
consequence great public interest is
manifested in the event. Both crews
took their final practice spin today,
several thousand people, a goodly
number belonging to the betting fra
ternity, turning out to form their
final judgments on the performances
of the two crews. Cambridge is a
slight favorite, though the oxonians
have had the benefit of the supervis-
ion of Fletcher White, the celebrated
coach, and appear to be in splendid
form. This will be the sixty-second
boat race between the two universe
ties. Oxford has been the winner in
thirty-two contests and Cambridge in
twenty-eight, while the one of 1887
was dead heat. The start tomor-
row will be made between / and 2
o'clock, London time. the Thames
being at high tide at 1:40.
The members of the two crews,
their weights and the colleges they
represent are as follows:
