Summary
The Race of Saturday, March 24, 1866, took place at an unusually early hour in consequence of the state of the tide. The start was successfully accomplished shortly before 8 A.M., and a most exciting race ensued. The water was somewhat lumpy, and the wind foul, but the rival Crews rowed in good form, while the chances of Cambridge were watched with breathless interest by her numerous adherents. The issue of the Race was still uncertain, when within a short distance of its termination the untimely appearance of a large barge right across the Cambridge course somewhat interfered with the even tenor of her way, and Oxford, drawing slowly but surely ahead, completed her 13th victory over the light blues, passing the flag-boat some 15 seconds before her adversary; the time being unusually slow, owing to the commencement of the ebb tide, 25 mins. 35 secs.
