 Of the balance 10 per cent sub scrihed. $2 per cent reported having given elsev here and five per cent re- ported that others gave for thcm This totals 47 per cent, or less than half the number of prospects.

CAMBRIDGE CREW IS WINNER OVER OXFORD Victorious Oarsmen Are Popped Up by Sugar
 as Stimulant

Putney, England, March 27 LP- The Cambridge varsity crew, with n substitute rowing at No. 4, defeated their old rivals of Oxford by five lengths today in one of the finest races seen on the Thames in year.
 At the start there was little to choose between the two eights, al- though Oxford was slightly the favorite. It was a gruelling race, from the beginning at Putney over the four and one-quarter mile course to Mortlake, but when Cam bridge flashed over the line, hardly a man in her boat seemed in dis tress, while several of the Oxford crew were in a state Of collapse.
 The official time was 19 minutes. % seconds, which is just minute slower than the record established by Oxford in 1911.
 Oxford won the toss for position and choose the south side of the river, Tn" Dark Blues led slightly for most Of the first two miles, but did not seem to have much in reserve. Then Cambridge, although rowing a somewhat longer course around tho big horseshoe bend at Hommersmith. took the lead and kept it to the end.
 It Is reported that Cambridge tried out q new stimulant, each member of the crew taking two tea spoonsful of brown sugar just before the start, but the Cambridge trainer was not inclined to talk about the report after the race.
 Tho efficacy of sugar as a stinu- lant is well known. but English crews have not tried 1t heretofore. so fare as is known.
 Great crowds took advantage of the beautiful sunshiny weather to witness the race.
 The victory was the S7tb for Cambridge in the long series and the third in successive years. Oxford has won forty time. The race in 1877 was a dead heat,
 Last years race ended sensation- ally when the Oxford crew was forced 10 abandon the contest owing 10 the waterlogged condition of their shell.
