University Oars Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 August 2010
The last Race which I have to record, namely, that of the 17th of March, 1869, was also the swiftest upon record, being rowed in the short space of 20 minutes 5 seconds. It must, however, be remembered that the wind and tide were highly favourable, and the waters calm.
The Cambridge men rowed with great pluck, but fortune once more smiled upon the Dark Blue; and Oxford, winning the Race by three clear lengths, was enabled to add a sixteenth victory to her already long list of aquatic achievements.
It is satisfactory to be able to state that Cambridge has again succeeded in holding her own against her sister University, and that her victories of 1870, 1871, and 1872 have raised her score to 13, as against the 16 of Oxford.
