Summary
The University Race of 1858 was rowed on the 27th of March. The day was cold and inclement, the wind almost dead against the competitors, and the water somewhat lumpy and troubled. Though Oxford made a gallant struggle for the victory, her opponents gradually drew ahead, and succeeded in reaching Mortlake twenty-two seconds before their rivals; the Race being rowed in 21 minutes 23 seconds.
The names of the Crews were as follows:
Cambridge.
H. H. Lubbock, Caius.
A. L. Smith, 1st Trin.
W. J. Havart, St John's.
Duncan Darroch, 1st Trin.
Hugh Williams, St John's.
R. Lewis Lloyd, Magd.
A. H. Fairbairn, 2nd Trin.
J. Hall, Magd.
Coxswain, R. Wharton, Magd.
Oxford.
Robert W. Risley, Exeter.
John Arkell, Pembroke.
Charlton G. Lane, Ch. Ch.
W. G. G. Austin, Magd.
Ernald Lane, Balliol.
W. Hardy Wood, Univ.
Edmond Warre, Balliol.
J. T. Thorley, Wadham.
Coxswain, H. Walpole, Balliol.
Life-rate of the Crews.
Two early deaths among these 16 Oarsmen materially lessen their collective life-rate, which may be estimated at 636 instead of 640 years after the Race. Each man may however be credited with a fair average allowance of life, as, by the law of life chances, he will only enjoy some few months' less of existence than his 40 anticipated years.
