Summary
This Race came off upon Friday the 3rd of April, and was rowed from Mortlake to Putney, the day being very fine. The Race was one of the closest upon record, and with the exception of the 1868 and 1869 Matches, was rowed in a shorter space of time than any other, namely 21 minutes 5 seconds. The Crews were in capital condition, and unusual interest was aroused by the fact thaton this occasion outriggers were used for the first time in a University Race. The lead was gallantly contested for many minutes, but Cambridge at last distanced her rival, and succeeded in passing the winning flag some two lengths ahead—wind and tide were favourable, and the water calm.
The names of the Crews were as follows :
Cambridge.
George Francis Murdoch, St John's.
G. F. Holroyd, 1st Trin.
Stephen T. Clissold, 3rd Trin.
W.P. Cloves, 1st Trin.
Edmond Wilder, Magd.
Robert Harkness, St John's.
Edwd. P. Wolstenholme, 1st Trin.
C G. Hill, 2nd Trin.
Coxswain, T. B. Lloyd, Lady Margaret.
Oxford.
H. S. Polehampton, Pembroke.
E. C. Burton, Ch. Ch.
W. U. Heygate, Merton.
E. H. Penfold, St John's.
J. William Conant, St John's.
R C. Royds, Brasenose.
W. Chetwynd Stapylton, Merton.
W. H. Milman, Ch. Ch.
Coxswain, C. J. Soanes, St John's.
Life-rate of the Crews.
The aggregate longevity of these 16 men is materially lowered by the early deaths of three of their number, one of whom perished in the Indian mutiny. Collectively their allowance of life will not exceed 613 years instead of 640, while their individual lives may be estimated at 38·3 instead of 40 years after the Race.
