London, April 4. Cambridge, winning the toss, chose the Surrey side of the river, and at Harrod’s soap works had established a lead of half a-length. Oxford then come on again, the boats shooting Hammersmith Bridge on level terms. A neck-and**neck struggle for five minutes followed, ending in Oxford establishing a lead of half-a-length. C. B iurne (Oxford) stroked a gr
;rand spurt at Barnes’ Bridge, and demonstrated that his crew were the better stayers, Cambridge being rowed out.
