finish line by one and a half
lengths while q crowd of more
than 100000 persons cheered
wildly.

the historic course of almost 4 "
miles from Putney to Mortlake in

20 seconds slower than the
record.

mark had been reached that the

Previously, the Cambridge eight
had made one bid for the lead
just before the two mile mark,
forging to the front for a short
time. but soon dropping back.
For three and two-thirdS miles
onward to the finish, however,
the Cambridge crew went forward
in sensational driving squirt, pass
ing oxford and quickly leaving
them behind. ..
It was the forty-first victory
for Cambridge. Before the race,
each university had won forty
victories and one contest in 1877
had ended in a dead heat.
