The annual Oxford-Cambridge eight oared boat race took place on the Thames four mile course on March 21st. Both crews broke the record of 19m. 24s. made by Oxford last spring. The race was won by Oxford in 18m. 47s, while at the finish Cambridge was but 4 ft. in the rear. The pace was fast from start to finish, Oxford leading Cambridge but a few feet during the entire race. This makes the 49th Oxford-Cambridge race, Oxford having won 26 and Cambridge 22 of the races, while in 1877 the race was a tie. It is quite evident that Englishmen are ahead of us in oarsmanship, as the American four-mile record held by Yale-'88 is 20m. 10s.
The indications are favorable for much competition and a big success on Intercollegiate Field Day. Our Athletic Association is receiving communications from other colleges outside of the Triangular League colleges and no doubt the majority of colleges of note in the state will send representatives to take part in at least some one event. The colleges of Kansas have made great strides in the advancement of athletics in the past few years and in the near future we hope to see Kansas men take part in the Interstate Field Day exercises held at Mott Haven.
The senior class at Cornell is to build an athletic club house as a memorial. The Red and Blue.

Of course that is nothing new; everybody is onto that and when they want to make an eastern connection sure, or take a through train to Chicago without a change they go to J. P. Ross, or J. T. SHANKLIN for their tickets.
