The dark blues finished six lengths ahead of their rivals, their time for the entire course of four miles and a quar ter being 22 minutes 6 seconds. Weather which compared unfavor ably even with that of Saturday, when both of the boats were swamped and the contest was declared to be "no race," prevailed through., the morning, and until the last moment It was not believed the rrews would be able to re-row the race at noon. However, the umpire decided that a start should be made as arranged. Oxford again won the toss and chose the Middlesex or northern side, which gave them a slight advantage. It- was a procession more than a race. The dark blues pushed the nose of their shell to the front on the first stroke and were never threatened at any point. By the time a quarter of the distance had been covered the Oxonians were two lengths ahead, and soon after shooting Hammersmith bridge, which Is about half the distance, they crossed Into the light blue's water. From that point the Oxford stroke did not press his men, but the dark blue boat con tinued widening Its lead until It passed Barnes bridge six lengths ahead, and thl advantage It maintained to the end. Considering the unfavorable weather conditions the form of both crews was good. The official times for the Oxford crew at the various points were: One mile, 4 minutes 47 seconds; Ham mersmith bridge, 9 minutes ?0 seconds; Chiswlck Eyot, It minutes 6 seconds; Barnes bridge, IS minutes 30 seconds. Finish at Mortlake, 22 minutes 5 sec onds. VANCOUVER BOUTS BARRED Exhibition Proposed for Tonight Is Forced to Be Canceled. VANCOUVER. Wash., April 1. (Spe cial.)

McLaren to choose from. the last named with Johnson, Jtronn and Bovette showing best form In the broad jump. Martin will figure with the others In the nign. Krohn and Bovette are best wlelders of the pole, a remark which applies to Hedges and Johnson m tne weignis.

"can do the mile in 4:30 and Wilson will run him pretty close at that. Mcl son should hit the two-minute mark for the half, and both he and L. McLaren should get the quarter course some where around 52 seconds. "Grant has done the "220" In 21 3-5 while the picking is good. Aside from the perfect fit that a Steinway guarantees you, we offer you a choice of ma terial and color combinations that is all one could desire in variety, stylo and beauty. WE SPECIALIZE IN FINE MADE - TO - ORDER SHIRTS and the hundred in ' 10 2-5 seconds. In fact he should prove one of the hottest members of the team.
