LONDON , March 21. Thn forty-eighth of
ho famous races between the crews of Ox-
ord and Cambridge university was rowed
his mornlnpr. It was won by Oxford by a
quarter of a lencth. The time of tbe winning
crew was 22 minutes.
Tbo race was over the usual course , a dis-
unco of about four and one-quarter miles ,
lundreds of boats and barges loaded down
vith spectators were anchored along the
Ivor. In addition the house tops , tow paths ,
streets and otbcr points of vantage near the
Thames were crowded with sightseers. Thou
sands of cnrrinffes of every description lined
ho banks , The attendance , however , did
not cqualthatof former years , owlnn lo tbo
curly hour nt which the race was rowed and
.o tbo prevalence of a sleet storm in the
'orenoon and the bitter cold vrcnthcr.
Oxford won the toss ami chose the Middle- ,
iox or north shore side , Cambridge liad to
: > c content with the Surrey or southern
shoro.
The rival eights were started at 11:09 : a. in.
sharp. As the crews bent to their work hail
ntid snow was falling upon them and a north-
cast winil was r.nsing a very lumpy sea.
Cambridge at first pit away with a load and
at Clasner's boat house the Cambridge boat
wasaheuil. Then Oxford bent to her worn ,
leading bllgutlr at Craven cottage , six fur
longs Ironi the Mart. At Crabtree , a inllo
and three furlongs from the start , Oxford had
the lead by a IciiRth , but the Cambridnocrow
spurted , pulling ahead again.At thu soap
works , one mile and three fuilon s

miles from the starts-Oxford led slightly ,
Thn chccriiiRand excitement was intense
and a dead beat was loiiked upon as n possi
bility. At the oil mills , two miles and ono

boats were again even.mnd It scorned as If
tbo sculls wore almost lifted out of the water
