The same compliment was paid at the end of the 50's, only on the reverse way, when Fletcher came over from Oxford and taught Cambridge the art which they acemed to have lost, with very satisfactory results. This was in the days when the Hon. Dudley Ward was president of the C.U.B.C., following a period of very un happy dissensions in the rowing world] at Cambridge.

Outside of horse-racing, there is r athletic event in the year which attracts so much attention as the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, and as a rule the prophets and betting on the race are very seldom fout to be inaccurate, This; actually happened last year, however, when Oxford entered the race as favouri- tes, but were beaten fairly easily by-Cami bridge.
