The Oxford crew glided out of the London boat house at 'l q . tertofour. 'l'lieir appear- ance was the ital for an immense clierr. which was car ied tip and down both banks of the river for miles.

The oars of the sturdy Englishmen rose and fell like the steady sweep ofan eagle's wing. Their bodies were bare and their skins wcll tanned. Turning otl'at the Star and Garter they swept down to the starting post at I’ulncy bridge, where another cliccr inountcd the air and was wiit'ted up the river. Thcir stroke was moderate, and‘ their faces bore the calm, inipcrtuvbcd look peculiar to English sporting men. ‘ Five minutes elapsed. The Ilarvnrds spurtv ,(‘d nut in the stream. Another cheer tlcw over the vast iiiiiltiiude, but it lacked the vol- ume ufits predecessor. Naked to the Waist and bronzcd, the shoulder blades of lhc liar- viirds rolled in their sockets. and their oars took the water with marvelous precision. .])own toward the stake-boat they sped with the grace of a water fowl.
