YOUNG NEW ZEALAND MEN AT CAMBRIDGE.
We are indebted to a Correspondent (a Canterbury born man), now at Home for the following information by the Suez mail :—“ It seems that a New Zealander is likely to row in the University B jat Race this year. On Feb. 11 some important changes were made in the Light-blue crew, and Barton, of St John’s College, rowed at No. S. Mr Barton does not hail from Canterbury, but from the sister Province of Wellington. Still, we may all take a pride in knowing that New Zealand thews and sinews are not made of such weak stuff as some crotchety doctors would have us imagine. The gentleman whose name we have given nhove has also been successful in academical strife at Cambridge. If we are not mistaken, his name-will be found, too, amongst the winners of New Zealand University scholarships some years ago.”
