Summary
This year the Race took place on the 15th of April. The contest was of a most exciting nature, as for some distance Oxford kept the lead, both Crews rowing most gallantly. At length, however, the Cambridge men drew their boat slowly ahead, and after a severe struggle succeeded in leaving their opponents two-thirds of a length astern at the winning-post—time 29 minutes, 30 seconds. Course from Westminster to Putney.
The names of the Crews were as follows:
Cambridge.
Alfred H. Shadwell, St John's.
W. Massey, 1st Trin.
S. B. Taylor, 1st Trin.
John M. Ridley, Jesus.
G. C. Uppleby, Magd.
F. C. Penrose, Magd.
Heighway Jones, Magd.
Charles M. Vialls, 3rd Trin.
Coxswain, Thos. Selby Egan, Caius.
Oxford.
J. G. Mountain, Merton.
I. J. J. Pocock, Merton.
S. E. Maberly, Ch. Ch.
William Rogers, Balliol.
R. G. Walls, Brasenose.
E. Royds, Brasenose.
G. Meynelly, Brasenose.
John Somers Cocks, Brasenose.
Coxswain, W. B. Garnett, Brasenose.
Life-rate of the Crews.
These two boats were manned by a very healthy set of men, who may be expected to enjoy 692 instead of 640 years of life after the Race; the lives of the individual Oarsmen extending on an average over 43 and a half instead of over 40 years. Those who died before 1869 all belonged to the Oxford Boat, they lived on an average 14 years after they rowed in this Race.
