HOW CAMBRIDGE WON ANNUAL BOAT RACE

Surprise Victory For Light Blues: Home First

By 4 Lengths

Putney, Apr. 1.

Cambridge won, a surprise victory in the Boat Race, but it may be added at once that the success was thorough ly well deserved. The victors came out at the top of their form and rowed with an excellence of style that has not been revealed in the whole course of the training. Those who set themselves up as judges in this matter were proved all wrong.
