Sporting activities at Oxford and Cambridge are numerous. The most popular sport is rowing (гребля). Rowing a boat with eight oars (весла) or with four oars was first started in England in the 18^th century. At that time the boats took part in festivals on the river Thames.

In the 19^th century people started to use the boats for racing not only in London on the Thames but also in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The first Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge was held in 1829.

 

Nearly every year since then there has been a Boat Race between these two Universities. It is held in London on the Thames during the Easter (пасхальный) vacation at the end of March or the beginning of April.

On Boat Race Saturday the banks and bridges of the Thames are full of people. Some of them wear dark-blue ribbons (ленты) for Oxford and some wear pale-blue ones for Cambridge.

Questions:

1. When was the first Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge held? 2. Where and when is the Boat Race between the two Universities usually held? 3. What is the Boat Race like?
