PREFACE
THIS Record of Oxford Rowing is a work which we
have been contemplating for some years, and towards
which we have been slowly collecting materials, in
the hope that some one with more leisure than
ourselves might be induced to undertake the task of
preparing them for the press. That the idea of pub-
lishing the records did not remain a mere pious wish
is due to the initiative of Mr. Falconer Madan, who
first roused us to active interest in the matter, and then
kindly put us in the way of working in the Bodleian
Library, besides placing his own valuable collection of
boating records at our disposal. When, in addition to
this, Sir Courtenay Knollys gave us leave to make full
use of his Oxford University Boat Races, and sent the
records of most of the missing years before 1837, we felt
ourselves definitely committed to the task.
Besides these two gentlemen, we are especially in-
debted to Mr. H. T. Steward, President of the Henley
Regatta Committee, who has allowed us to compare
our records of Henley crews with those which he
has collected ; to Messrs. Ryman for kind help with
the illustrations, and for permission to reproduce several
pictures; to Messrs. Hills and Saunders for like help
Vlll
PREFACE
with regard to photographs ; to Mr. F. Williams for
the interesting etching of the Eights in 1817; and to
the Rev. G. J. Davie for much valuable information with
regard to the period just preceding 1839. We have also
to thank the Secretary of the Thames Conservancy, the
Treasurer of Christ Church, Messrs. Salter Brothers,
and the Keeper of the Archives for fixing various
dates ; whilst, amongst the watermen, we have gained
much information from Messrs. T. Tims, M. Blagrove,
and David Talboys.
To our friends the Rev. C. R. Carter and Mr. R. B.
Townshend we are indebted for the trouble they have
taken in kindly revising our manuscript and proofs re-
spectively.
Besides these, we have to thank many correspondents,
too numerous to mention individually, to whose kind-
ness in answering letters it is due that there are so
few gaps in our records.
We are, above all, indebted to the officers of the
various boat clubs, who have placed their books so un-
reservedly at our disposal. We are happy to have been
able to some extent to return this kindness, by having
been the means of restoring the long-lost records of
one boat club to its college, and we hope that the
publication of other losses may lead to yet further
restorations. With regard to these records we would
urge most strongly that in every case they should be
duplicated, and that one copy should be kept in the
college library. They pass through so many hands,
and, sooner or later, they are sure to come into the
custody of the careless or casual, and when lost it is
impossible that they should be replaced.

x PREFACE
The books of Lincoln and Jesus are lost, as also are
the first volume of the New College records and the
earlier books of Merton. The college boat clubs would
be very grateful for any information with regard to
these missing books.
These books vary greatly in completeness and in plan.
Some, such as Exeter, confine themselves entirely to the
rowing of members of the college ; others, like Brasenose
and Pembroke, notice everything in the Oxford boating
world. University look on life and on rowing as a huge
joke, or rather did so regard it until they had laughed
themselves from the top to the bottom of the river, but
of late years they have become more serious, though
with occasional flashes of the old spirit. Another club
is most solemn in its records, and president after presi-
dent has written a treatise on the whole art of rowing.
There is a great advantage in this variety, and we
cannot but lament a tendency of late years in almost all
the books to become more terse and business-like. It
is the obvious to one generation which is of intense
interest to another, and there is some fear that the
obvious will soon cease to be recorded.
One thing that has made all these records most
delightful reading is the spirit of true sport which per-
vades them. Defeats are recorded, but only that the
causes may be discovered, and with the determination
to set them right next year. Disasters are felt not so
much for the individual's sake as for that of the
college, and triumphs are rejoiced over as those of the
crew and whole society, the personal element being
entirely absent. Equally impersonal are the accounts of
disputes, which must arise in the racing from time to
PREFACE xi
time. This is a fact which has very much surprised us,
knowing how deeply adverse decisions are always felt,
and how incapable men are, from esprit de corps, of
appreciating these decisions at the time they are made.
We expected in consequence to find many bitter com-
ments on rival crews and Boat Club committee, but they
are almost entirely absent, or where entered have been
subsequently erased with the greatest care. There is
but one exception to this rule of impersonality — one
unpardonable sin, and this is breach of training.
Another characteristic is the readiness at all times of
the various clubs to help their rivals, should accident
of any kind befall them, and their unwillingness to profit
by such accidents. They will strain every nerve to secure
a bump by fair rowing, but should the bump come to
them by other means it is unwillingly accepted or possibly
not claimed at all, whilst should a boat be broken, one
of the other crews at once comes forward with the offer
of another to take its place. We saw last year the
third boat on the river lying off the Boat-house, whilst
the second boat was having some repairs done at the
last moment, and refusing to go down to the start lest
the races should begin without their opponents ; and this
incident is typical of the spirit which pervades the whole
atmosphere of boating as revealed in the records.
Perhaps a word should be said as to the dedication
of this book. During thirty years' connexion with the
club we have served with so many good men and true,
that we felt it would be invidious to single out any one
of the officers of the O. U. B. C. before the rest. We
have therefore followed our natural instinct, and put
down the initials of the man with whom more than with
Xll
PREFACE
any one else our own boating days were spent, and to
whom our heart has especially gone out as we read
the various records of that time. To those who remem-
ber those ancient days, his initials will recall one of
the keenest and heartiest boating men of our time; to
others of later date they may stand as representing first
the lifelong friendships we form on the river, and,
secondly, the men who, after all, are the backbone of
Oxford rowing— the keen college captains. It is these
men who by their cheery enthusiasm attract men to the
river, and by their untiring devotion to duty keep them
there. Their task has never been an easy one, and it
is getting more difficult as other forms of exercise are
multiplying, and as the fashion increases of men con-
tenting themselves with watching others toil and doing
nothing themselves. There are signs, from diminished
entries for the Torpids, and from rumours which one
hears from time to time of difficulties in making up
crews, that the high-water mark of boating enthusiasm,
which was reached some five or six years ago, is, for
a time at any rate, passed. As long, however, as we
keep up the race of boating captains, such as the records
reveal to us, and such as we have known in the -.flesh,
there is no fear that any serious check will come to the
art we love so well.
It is impossible that, in dealing with entries involving
so many facts and collected from so many sources, we
should have avoided mistakes. The earlier records are
incomplete, and, where we have lists of crews, the names
are often without initials. These have been supplied
from the Alumni Oxonienses, and from back numbers of
the Oxford Calendar, care being taken that no names are
PREFACE xiii
entered which we cannot find in these books. In the
few cases where it is impossible to identify the entry
with some approach to certainty we have marked the
name as doubtful.
If mistakes are found either with regard to names or
facts, we shall be very grateful to any one who will
kindly point them out to us. It is in the earlier records
that the greatest uncertainty exists, and the number of
those who can give information about these years is
steadily diminishing, and it is for this reason that we
have thought it best to publish the records at once, and
not wait for the chance of possibly making them more
complete.

HISTORY
CHAPTER I
BOATING BEFORE THE RACES
OXFORD must always have held out an irresistible attraction
to the lovers of boating. It stands at the meeting-place of two
rivers, the Cherwell and the Thames, or Isis, as the latter
is classically styled ; and either stream winds through the
meadows in many branches and dallies on its way in enticing
back-waters. The main river was made navigable below
Oxford as early as the reign of James I, when Dean King
of Christ Church was Vice-Chancellor, so that from that time
the longer expeditions to Nuneham or Sandford must have
been easy of accomplishment. Of the precise date when
boating became a common amusement in the University we
have no record, but we find T. F. Dibden, who came up in
1793, and took his degree in 1801, writing of the recreations
at Oxford as follows : ' Boating, hunting, shooting, and fishing—
these formed in times of yore the chief amusements of the
Oxford scholar. They form them now, and will ever form
them, being good and true and lawful amusements in their
several ways, when partaken of in moderation'; and again:
' The lecture is over, and half the college is abroad, some few to
bend their solitary steps " where harebells and violets blow,"
and to return upon the bosom of Isis beneath the trembling
radiance of the moon, after having visited the ruins of Godstow,
or entered the sacred antiquity of Iffley.' In another place he
says : ' I joined in the more manly and cheap exercises of the
^. day, but studiously avoided those amusements which entailed
OXFORD ROWING
a heavy expense, or tore up the constitution by the roots.
If I could sometimes rise with the lark for a day's disporting
upon the glassy surface of Isis, I could at others shut myself up
in my " den " for a week's consecutive hard reading, diversified
by drawing and an evening's ramble to Headington.'
Of the same date (1793) are some letters, written in verse,
by Skinner of Trinity, in which he speaks of sailing, rowing,
or towing the Hobby Horse by Foley's Bridge to Iffley or
Sandford, where
Beckly provides accustomed fare
Of eels, and perch, and Brown Beefsteak,
Dainties we oft taste twice a week.
A game at quoits will oft our stay
A while at Sandford Inn delay,
Or rustic ninepins ; — then once more
We hoist the sail and ply the oar
To Newnham bound.
In another letter he tells us something of the boating dress of
this early period, which seems to have been supplied with the
boat. Again it is 'the gay yacht the Hobby Horse' which he
hires at the river —
Where a Dame,
Hooper yclept, at station waits
For gownsmen, whom she aptly freights
In various vessels moored in view,
Skiff, gig, and cutter, or canoe.
Election made, each in a trice
Becomes transformed with trousers nice,
Jacket and catskin cap supplied,
Black gowns and trenchers laid aside.
However, it does not appear to have been at all the rule thus to
' change ' before boating, for Southey, writing in 1807, describes
the scene on the river as follows : ' A number of pleasure boats
were gliding in all directions upon this clear and rapid stream ;
some with spread sails, in others the caps and tassels of the
students formed a curious contrast with their employment
at the oar. Many of the smaller boats had only a single person
in each, and in some of these he sat face forward, leaning back
BOATING BEFORE THE RACES
as in a chair, and plying with both hands a double-bladed oar in
alternate strokes, so that his motion was like the path of a
serpent. One of these canoes is, I am assured, so exceedingly
light that a man can carry it, but few persons are skilful or
venturous enough to use it.'
In later life Southey declared that he learnt but two things
at Oxford, to row and to swim, and he looks back longingly,
as so many of us have done since, to the time he spent upon
the river.
So on thy banks, too, Isis, have I strayed
A tasseled student, witness you who shared
My morning walk, my ramble at high noon,
My evening voyage, an unskilful sail
To Godstow bound, or some inferior port,
For strawberries and cream. What have we found
In life's austerer hours delectable
As the long day so loitered ?
So far, it will be noticed, we have records of nothing but
what the watermen call ' pleasure boating,' to distinguish it from
the more serious business of ' rowing,' but to the negative evi-
dence thus supplied, that there were as yet no organized races
on the river at Oxford, we have added the positive evidence of
Mr. G. V. Cox, born in Oxford in the last century, and writing
his recollections here in 1860. Under date 1805 ne says :
' Boating had not yet become a systematic pursuit in Oxford.
Men went down indeed to Nuneham for occasional parties in
six-oared boats (eight-oared boats were then unknown),
but these boats (such as would now be laughed at for tubs)
belonged to the boat people ; the crew was a mixed crew got
up for the day, and the dresses worn anything but uniform.
I belonged to a crew of five, the first, I think, distinguished
by a peculiar (and what would now be thought a ridiculous)
dress, viz. a green leather cap, with a jacket and trousers of
nankeen ! '
The only other record of this time is a picture of the river
from the towing-path opposite where the barges now stand.
The foreground is shortened to enable the artist to throw up
B 2
.
OXFORD ROWING
the buildings of Christ Church, but it is with the river itself that
we are interested. It will be seen that there are no barges,
no boats, even, in sight, except the primitive one to the right,
no wall on the meadow side, and of course no railings. Such
boats as there were, were kept at Folly Bridge, at the Boat
House Tavern near the lock.
And here, just where our interest begins, the records fail us.
We can find no memoirs of men up at Oxford from 1810 to 1830
which give us any facts with regard to the early racing, and we
have searched the back files of the Oxford University Herald
and Jackson's Oxford Journal in vain from the beginning of the
century onwards. At first our hopes ran high, for a consider-
able portion of the small space in these papers devoted to news
was to be found under the heading 'Sport,' but we soon
discovered that nothing was chronicled under this heading
unless a money wager depended on the result. A man might
walk fifty miles backwards for ten pounds, or a porter might
carry sacks of corn through the streets of London against time
for half that sum, and the whole exploit would be chronicled at
great length ; but the early races which took place in the city
itself are passed over in silence, because there was no money
staked upon the result. Here and there we get a glimpse of
the races — at an inquest, or when a concert is badly attended
owing to a clashing of dates, or because a bargee is ducked
for getting in the way of the race— but beyond this we find
nothing. We may be sure that when six-oared boats were
introduced into Oxford, racing of some sort must have speedily
begun, and when eights appeared and were the property
of different colleges, that college racing must have followed
soon after. It is probable that it grew up gradually and
naturally without any premeditation or definite plan, that it was
evolved in short out of its surroundings, and it is to this fact
as much as to any other that it is due that no record has been
preserved of its institution. These early rowing men little
thought they were making history and revolutionizing sport :
probably, on the contrary, they merely thought they were
BOATING BEFORE THE RACES
having a pleasant picnic, and larking home from Iffley Lock,
and others thought so too, and so these early expeditions
passed gradually from the stage of mere pleasure parties,
ending in a burst between the different crews at the end of the
day, into the organized races which we find them later on.
unnoticed and unrecorded.
Fortunately though the Oxford records are incomplete, the
Cambridge racing, which began some twelve years later, has
been chronicled from the beginning, and in it we probably
see something of the process by which our own races were
evolved.
They started then in 1826 with but two eights, Lady Margaret
and Trinity. The boats were commodious, and used largely
for picnics and excursions. The former boat had as part of
its properties a tin ' Panthermaticon ' containing two kettles,
nine cups and saucers, nine tea-spoons, nine plates, four dishes,
four basins, one box, one salt do., one mustard-pot, two grates,
nine egg-holders, nine egg-spoons ; and a separate case with
one dozen knives and forks, one phosphorus box and blowpipe,
one charcoal bag, one canvas bag marked ' Lady Margaret,'
four irons and screws for legs of ditto, two tablecloths, six
napkins. Other benefactors presented eight sheepskin seats,
a horn, and a trumpet.
There were no regular races, but one of the two boats would
go down the river and lie in wait, sounding a bugle to intimate
its whereabouts and to bid defiance to the other, which, if it
accepted the challenge, would come up and give chase.
A race could not take place without the unanimous consent of
the crew, for we find that if there was even one dissentient and
the coxswain allowed the race to take place, he was fined one
guinea.
In some such way must the races have grown up at Oxford.
Probably the crews went down to Nuncham or Sandford to
picnic or dine, and entered Iffley Lock together on the way
back. We can then imagine how they would scramble out
of the lock as quickly as possible, the later ones giving chase to
OXFORD ROWING
those in front, and attempting to pass them, or run into them
and turn them round, and gradually rules would grow up,
and what was mere larking would settle down in time into
serious racing.
A curious survival, showing also the extreme conservatism of
all our boating institutions, goes far to confirm this picnic origin
of our races. It was not until after 1839 that the boats ceased
to go to Sandford, and to pass up through the lock at Iffley
before racing. We shall have more to say on this point later
on, but the fact that the crews for so many years took this long
unnecessary row before their races shows how ancient and
ingrained the habit must have been. We can imagine how the
races gradually grew up out of the river expedition, but we
cannot imagine the long preliminary row being deliberately
adopted in planning races to be rowed from Iffley.

CHAPTER II
EARLY RACING
THUS far we have given extracts from various sources
describing Oxford boating before racing began, now we have
to trace as far as we can the gradual development of the 'races'
until the formation of the O. U. B. C.
These races are now so much a part of the natural order ot
things that it will doubtless come as a surprise to many to find
that not only are they the creation of the present century, but
that for some time at least it was uncertain whether the highest
class of racing boat would be the six, eight, or ten-oar. Even
as late as the middle seventies the Inter-University races in
America were rowed in six-oared boats, and we have already
seen that these boats were in use in Oxford before eight-oars
were thought of. But things pass into the category of ancient
history more quickly perhaps at the Universities than else-
where, and even fifty years ago the Eights seem to have been
regarded as things which always had been, for we find in
Vanity Fair that the Reverend Bute Crawley is described as
stroking the Christ Church boat in his undergraduate days,
taking ten years to pay off his college debts, and accomplishing
this in 179-. Thus Thackeray antedates the races by at least
thirty years.
As far as can be ascertained it was at Eton that eight-oared
rowing had its beginning. At any rate in 1811 we find the
school possessed of a ten-oared boat, three eights, and two six-
8 OXFORD ROWING
oars ; and it was probably from Eton that eights found their
way to Oxford.
We depend in these early years almost entirely upon in-
formation obtained from old diaries, for most of which we are
indebted to Mr. W. B. Woodgate and Sir Courtenay Knollys.
The first record of eight-oared racing in Oxford is in 1815,
when Brasenose was head, and Jesus possibly its only com-
petitor. In 1817 it was displaced by Christ Church, which,
drawing from the two boating schools of Eton and Westminster,
retained its place, with few exceptions, for many years. Brase-
nose and Jesus about this time raced each other in fours as
well as eights, whilst a third four was owned privately by
De Ros of Christ Church. In this boat its owner as stroke,
with Randolph (3), Daniel (2), and King (bow), raced a pair in
which were H. B. Bulteel, Brasenose College, and Stephen
Davis the waterman, and beat it after a severe race.
Our earliest picture (frontispiece) is one of an eight in 1817,
drawn by G. M. Musgrave of Brasenose ; as it is probable that
the boat drawn by him would be that of his own college, we
have most likely in this etching a representation of one of the
first two eights launched on the Oxford waters.
It was the custom with these early eights to row down to
Sandford, and then return together to Iffley Lock. The boats
were large ones, with a ' gang-plank ' running across the seats
down the middle of the boat. When the lock gates opened, the
stroke of the head boat, who was standing in the bows with
a boat-hook, ran down the boat, either along the plank or along
the side, and pushed her out of the lock as quickly as possible,
immediately taking his seat and rowing. The first boat was
followed as quickly as possible by the second, and that by the
third, and thus the race was started.
The flags indicating the position of the boats were hoisted
on King's (now Salter's) Barge, which was built about the
time the racing first began. As this barge was also the winning
post it was customary to ' cheer the colours ' as the new order
was run up.
EARLY RACING
There were no college barges in those days ; the men
changed in King's Barge, or in a room in the Boat House
Tavern.
There has always been a tradition that the early races were
rowed in high hats. Fortunately that tradition has been con-
firmed by a lady who is still alive, the sister of J. Swainson,
who came up to St. John's in 1815, and rowed in his college
boat soon after. We hoped to get more information from this
lady, and travelled some 500 miles to see her, but she was
afraid of being carried away by her ' girlish enthusiasm,' and
would commit herself to no definite statement beyond the high
hat. It is most interesting to find a living link with the early
races, and to learn that they excited so much interest amongst
the families of those who rowed in them.
Somewhat later the hat seems to have been discarded, for
in a letter written by W. K. R. Bedford we find that Christ
Church, having many Scotsmen in their crew, had adopted
in 1819 the blue bonnet or Tarn o' Shanter, with a checkered
band, as worn in those days by the Scottish peasantry. This
band is possibly the origin of the peculiar ribbon, somewhat
resembling in design a Scotch plaid, which is still worn in ' the
House,' and although the cap was rejected by Christ Church
at some time after 1833, it was still worn by Balliol, Jesus, and
New College as late as 1847, as can be seen in the plate of
colours of the various crews in the O. U. B. C. Barge. The high
hat was retained by some of the coxswains up to the time of
the formation of the Boat Club.
Gresley, who took his degree in 1823, and had himself
rowed in the Westminster boat before coming to Oxford,
in his Portrait of an English Churchman thus describes the
start of the races. His hero and his friend had taken refuge in
Iffley Churchyard, to which they had crossed that they might
avoid the groups which were assembling to witness the boat-
race. ' Here the well-known sound of oars arrested their
attention, not
The 'splash so clear and chill
Of yon old fisher's solitary oar
io OXFORD ROWING
which is described by the poets, but that quick, regular, busi-
ness-like stroke, which is caused by the rapid turning of man}'
oars at the same moment of time. Presently a gallant eight-oar
appeared in the bend of the river, and then another boat
succeeded, and another. They entered the lock together, and
for a short time all was hushed in silence. Soon the creaking
of the opening gate was heard, and the boats sprang forth one
by one ; the sky was rent by the mingled shouts of the friends
of each party, as the}' followed them along the bank, cheering
them on in the race, until as they approached towards Oxford
the sound died upon the breeze.'
In 1822 a dispute arose between Brasenose and Jesus. It
appears that the former caught a crab and were bumped, but
rowing on came in first and claimed to remain ' head.' It must
be remembered that the rules were so far only in process of
formation, for, of course, now such a claim would be quite in-
admissible. This led to a 'confusion of opinion,' the Jesus men
hoisting their flag as head and the Brasenose men hauling
it down again. The dispute was finally stopped by one of the
Brasenose crew remarking: ' Quot homines tot sententiae, different
men have different opinions, some like leeks and some like
onions ' ; the point of the latter part of the remark being that
the Jesus boat had leeks painted on their oars. It was finally
agreed that the race should be rowed again, when Brasenose
retained their place. This somewhat comic incident had how-
ever a tragic ending, for the rival crews celebrated their recon-
ciliation by a picnic at Nuneham, when one of their number,
T. Musgrave of University, was drowned.
It is probably due to the excitement caused by this race that
we have our earliest print of the Eights at Oxford, which we
here reproduce. It was published on March i, which shows
that the race must have been rowed early in the Lent Term.
It will be seen by the flags that there were only two eights on.
Musgrave was drowned in June, so the picnic did not take
place until the next term.
In consequence of the disaster just related, and probably also
EARLY RACING n
because of disputes about watermen rowing in the races, there
were no ' Eights ' in 1823. At the same time several eights
were manned, Christ Church refusing to put on because
Stephen Davis the boat-builder rowed for Brasenose and Isaac
King in the Jesus boat. Woodgate records that when Brase-
nose came up the river the Christ Church men used to run
alongside shouting, ' No hired watermen.' As there were no
races this year there could be no Procession of Boats, but we get
our first notice of the river in an Oxford paper in the following
paragraph: 'On the evening of Monday' (in Commemora-
tion week) 'they had an opportunity of enjoying the aquatic
diversions on the Isis, and the boat match between the rowers
of Balliol and Christ Church, which was won by the former
after a well-contested race.'
After this year watermen ceased to row in the races, though
men of other colleges were allowed to row for two years
more.
In the next year, 1824, the Exeter White Boat was built at
Plymouth Dockyard and brought by sea to Portsmouth, whence
she was fetched by Stephen Davis by land. As she was too
high out of water she was cut down one, or, as some accounts
say, three streaks, and fitted with river, instead of sea oars.
In her Exeter went head.
There was a great four-oared race this year between Jesus
and Brasenose, the crew of the latter consisting of F. Slade,
Stephen Davis (a waterman), T. Morres, and a Worcester man.
Mr. Morres gives this account in a letter : ' We went down in
the evening to Sandford : on our return to Iffley Lock the Jesus
refused to go up first, so we pushed ourselves out of the lock,
and were sharply followed by the Jesus, who nearly sent us
down the lasher, but I cautioned the steerer to keep his hand
upon the rudder. When we came to the third willow in the
reach I asked Slade to quicken the stroke. We soon left them,
and reached Davis' Barge seventy yards ahead, and met them
returning, to the no small delight of Isaac King, who had made
the match.' Mr. Morres had but one arm and rowed with
i2 OXFORD ROWING
a strap. He walked up thirty miles on the morning of the race
to row, and walked back the next morning.
From this date our records may be said to begin, as with one
or two exceptions we have both the chart of the races and the
names of the head boat for all subsequent years.
In the next year, 1825, the races started above, not in, the
lock. As the reason given for this change was that there were
too many boats now racing for them all to get into the lock
together, either our records, which give only four boats, must
be incomplete, or three boats must have been the limit of the
lock's capacity. The method of starting was now changed. The
boats were arranged at intervals of fifty feet apart. A stick,
afterwards painted in the college colours, marked the position
of each boat, and an umpire, or in later days three umpires,
was appointed to see that each was in its place. Wyatt, the
lock-keeper, stood in the middle and asked, ' Are you ready ? '
and it was only on getting ' Yes ' from all the umpires that he
fired his pistol. The term 'Torpid,' as applied to second boats,
seems to have arisen about this time, but it was not until
a later date that the Torpids had races separate from the
Eights. In 1826 we learn from Woodgate that a meeting of
strokes drew up the following rules to regulate the racing:^
Resolved :
(1) That the racing do commence on Monday, May i.
(2) That the days for racing be Monday and Friday in each week, and
that if any boat does not come out on those days its flag do go to the
bottom.
(3") That no out-college men be allowed to row in any boat, except in
the case of illness or other unavoidable absence, and then that the cause
of such absence be signified to the strokes of the other boats.
(4) That all boats below the one that bumps stop racing, and those
above continue it.
(5) That there be a distance of fifty feet between each boat at starting.
(6) That the boats be started by pistol shots.
(.7) That umpires be appointed by each college to see each boat in its
proper position before starting, and to decide any accidental dispute.
From an interesting letter written this year by Mr. R. J. Spiers1,
1 Oxford Magaaine, May 22, 1890.
EARLY RACING 13
describing the races, we learn that Christ Church remained
head all the season, and that Brasenose became second, whilst
Exeter and Balliol were also on. Besides confirming much
that has already been recorded, the writer tells us that some
two hundred boats of various kinds were on the river during
the races waiting the event. On other nights there were
generally private matches of two and four-oars and skiffs.
There were also sailing boats, but they were seldom used in
the evening on account of the danger, as so many small boats
were out.
From the Literary Lounger we learn that at this time there
were many six-oars on the river.
One more fact which especially marks this year is that it
is the beginning of Cambridge eight-oared rowing.
In 1827 a rule was made ' that no out-college man be allowed
to row in any boat.'
Queen's launched their first eight this year.
1828 saw a new departure in Oxford rowing. For the first
time a crew, Christ Church, left the home waters and challenged
Leander, the leading amateur club, to row them on the tideway.
An account of the race, in which they were badly defeated, will
be found in Chapter IX.
In 1829 was held the first Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race,
in which we were victorious; and Oxford also beat the club
of the Guardsmen in an aquatic excursion from Oxford to
London. In consequence of the race with Cambridge there
were no Eights this year, but at the Procession of Boats
a scratch race was arranged between three crews, stroked
respectively by T. Gamier, Worcester; T. S. Birley, Brasenose;
and T. Staniforth, Christ Church, in which the last-named won.
After this Christ Church was saluted as head of the river.
In 1831 the Wingfield Sculls were instituted.
For 1833 we have a picture of the finish of the Eights. Christ
Church, the head boat, seem to have shipped their oars, and
' bow ' will be seen standing up with a boat-hook in his hand.
In 18363 race was arranged with Cambridge. In consequence
i4 OXFORD ROWING
of this it was agreed to shorten the number of nights for the
Eights, so as to give a clear week's practice for that race. How-
ever, as Oriel went up from bottom to second, it was determined
to give them an extra night, so that they might attempt to
go head.
In 1837, the race with Cambridge falling through, it was
agreed that the two head boats on the river should race at
Henfey; as Christ Church were forbidden to row, they took
oif to allow Queen's to go head and represent Oxford in
the race.
In 1838 we find the following notice in Bell's Life : ' The
Exeter, in consequence of remaining head of the river for three
nights, is off until the last night, unless Merton should chance
to bump Balliol, in which case they are bound by the laws
of racing to put on and give Merton a chance of getting to the
head of the river.'
Balliol this year rowed for the first time without a gang-board.
Besides the Eights, there would seem to have been organized
four-oared races in these early days. The Rev. G. Hext, of
Corpus, gives the following information about them * : ' Peard,
so well known a generation later as Garibaldi's Englishman,
lived at Plymouth, and there he superintended, in the Water-
man's Yard, the building of a new boat for his college. She
was a vast improvement on anything known before, and I have
often taken an oar in her after she ceased to be a racer.
Successful in this, Peard kindly built a four-oar for Corpus.
This was the beginning of our college boating career. In
1834-5 sne was head of the river. In those days I think
four-oared races attracted more attention than the Eights.'
The writer adds that gang-boards were used in the Fours
up to 1842, and that in those days boats which came out of
the lock together raced each other as a matter of course. In
confirmation of this notice of the Fours, we have the fact that
in the earlier days Eights, Torpids, and Fours formed part
1 Pelican Record, June, 1896.
EARLY RACING 15
of the Procession of Boats ; and we have also an entry in
the president's book in June, 1840, the term before the
Challenge Fours were instituted, to the effect that Merton
being the only boat entered, the four-oared races were not
held. David Talboys, the oldest surviving waterman, says
he can remember these races, and that they started from
Iffley Lock. At the same time, Mr. Davie is quite sure that
from 1837 onwards, during the time he was up at Oxford,
no such races were held, so that the entries seem to have
fallen off after about 1836. This was possibly due to the fact
that at this time the number of colleges putting on eights
was increasing, the Fours being rowed probably by those
colleges which could not muster enough men to put on an
eight.

CHAPTER III
AN EARLY COLLEGE BOAT CLUB
UP to this point we have depended upon reminiscences of
old boating men and upon the more reliable evidence of extracts
from their diaries. We now reach the more solid ground of
college boat club records, and entries in Bell's Life and local
papers.
When college boat clubs were first formed is unknown.
The date hitherto received of 1837 is certainly wrong, for
besides the Exeter book we have the Queen's College
treasurer's book from 1834, an<^ again in the Brasenose book
we find in 1837 : ' The captain, finding the keeping of books
hindered reading, speedily got rid of them by appointing the
first treasurer.' Balliol, on the contrary, though they started
a book in 1837, which was originally the private log of
E. Hobhouse, and was bequeathed by him to the college and
kept up carefully from that time, did not have a boat club until
1850. However, when we consider the cost of these early boats,
which was about ^70, we may be sure that there must have
been, almost from the very beginning of the races, some
organization by which funds could be collected, and their
expenditure and the use of the boat controlled. Perhaps it is
safest to say that from the time the first eight was bought by
a college a boat club existed in fact, though often not in name,
the main points of difference being that in the one stroke was
autocratic, in the other he was controlled by a committee : in
a,
AN EARLY COLLEGE BOAT CLUB 17
the one subscriptions were collected as need arose, in the
other at fixed intervals and fixed in amount.
The earliest record existing is the treasurer's book of the
Exeter College Boat Club, which begins in 1831. This contains
(i) a list of the rules of the club at that date, which are so full,
and required so little alteration afterwards, that we can only
assume that they were the result of experience gathered
through some years, and not the raw attempts at law-making
of a brand-new society ; (2) the ' private regulations ' of the
committee — rules drawn up from time to time to meet special
difficulties — and also an account of the proceedings of the com-
mittee generally ; (3) several pages showing the positions of
the flags of the various college boats during the races. Some
of these are beautifully coloured, others are merely in outline,
but they have enabled us to check the chart of the races from
1831 onwards ; (4) an account of the expenditure of the club
from 1831.
We have taken very full notes of the contents of this most
interesting book, a portion of which, with the kind permission
of the boat club authorities, we reproduce : —

CHAPTER IV
THE MAKING OF THE O.U.B.C.
ROWING had now, in 1839, become firmly established in
Oxford, college boat clubs had been formed, and the Eights had
been rowed for five and twenty years, and for the third time we
had rowed a race with Cambridge. As yet, however, there
was no central authority. In the Eights the stroke of the head
boat was ' omnipotent.' It was he who called together a meeting
of strokes at the beginning of the season to settle the dates
of the races, and the rules under which they should be held ;
he also heard appeals as to the interpretation of rules, and if the
boats settled into place before the end of the time agreed upon
for the races to end, he called the strokes together again to
settle whether they should continue or no. In the race with
Cambridge it was the stroke again in whom all the power was
vested, though how he was chosen in the first place is not
recorded ; possibly he was the stroke of the head of the river.
Of the three races with Cambridge, Oxford had won the first
and lost the next two, the one in 1839 being an exceedingly
hollow beating. This set people thinking whether we could not
improve our organization, and as the C. U. B. C. had existed
for many years, it naturally suggested itself that we might with
advantage take a hint from our rival's system.
We have two accounts of the first meeting of the O. U. B. C.,
both of which, from their great interest, we reproduce. The
first is from the secretary's book, and runs as follows : —
' On Tuesday, April 23, 1839, a meeting of the strokes of racing
boats, and of the representatives of such colleges as have not
THE MAKING OF THE O. U. B. C. 21
a boat on the river, was held at King's Boat House, for the
purpose of forming a club to be called " The Oxford University
Boat Club," the objects of which should be : ist, to have an
organized system by which a crew might be kept in constant
practice, and might with the greater ease be got up for the
defence of the University, in order to avoid a repetition of
the defeats which it has suffered within the last few years ;
and 2nd, to have funds always ready to defray the expenses
of a contest with a foreign naval power. The meeting was
called and presided over by Calverley Bewicke, of University
College, as being stroke of the University boat. There were
also present —
C. Goodden, Exeter. R. A. Lea, Brasenose. J. Welch, Queen's.
R. Hobhouse, Balliol. S. E. Maberly, Ch. Ch. D. W. Griffith, Jesus.
E. J.G. Hornby, Merton. T. Meyrick, Corpus. H. W. Fox, Wadham.
J. Scotland, St. John's. R. M. Howard, Oriel. J. K. Hawkins, Wore.
R. Hickson, New Inn Hall.
' It was unanimously agreed that a club should be formed
THE BUTTON
having the above objects ; that a button and a barge should be
provided for the use of its members, and that a committee
should be appointed to draw up rules and carry on its affairs.
After having agreed to the substance of a few rules, and
elected by ballot the committee, the meeting then separated.
' The committee met in the president's room the same evening
and drafted the rules. The president then laid before the
committee a communication he had received from Henley (the
inhabitants of which town had agreed to offer a challenge cup
22 OXFORD ROWING
to be pulled for by all England). It was resolved that he should
write to Henley to ask for an explanation of two rules, one
of which appeared to exclude an University crew from com-
peting, and the other to' preclude the possibility of our being
there by fixing the time of the contest in July.
' This first meeting of the O. U. B. C. committee lasted from
8.30 till 11.15.'
The president's account is as follows : —
'At a meeting of the strokes and representatives of the
colleges, held in the committee room, King's Yard, on Tuesday,
April 23, 1839, it was resolved unanimously that a boat club
should be formed for the purpose of encouraging rowing in
Oxford, to be called " The Oxford University Boat Club." It
was also resolved that a barge should be hired for the use
of the club, and that members should be entitled to wear
a club button, which was then chosen.
' The following were selected to form a committee : —
C. Bewicke, University (president of the club).
S. E. Maberly, Christ Church.
J. Scotland, St. John's.
R. Hobhouse, Balliol.
W. B. Garnett, Brasenose.
' Fifteen rules were then agreed to, which were afterwards
revised by the committee, and again laid before a meeting
of strokes and representatives of colleges, and having been
amended, so as to meet the views of all parties, were unani-
mously agreed to in the following order : —
1. That the club be open to all members of the University on the
payment of IDS. entrance, and los annual subscription.
2. That any member of the University, by paying 305. entrance, or
having been a subscriber for three years, becomes a member for life ;
and that any member who has entered the club as an annual subscriber
may at any time become a member for life by paying in advance the
remainder of his annual subscriptions.
3. That the affairs of the club be managed by a committee of five
members (no two being of the same college), of whom the stroke of the
University boat be one. •
THE MAKING OF THE O. U. B. C. 23
4. That the four others be chosen by ballot by the strokes and repre-
sentatives of the colleges, who are members of the club, and that each
one shall be strictly resident in the University, and, at the same time
he is chosen, either stroke or steerer of a bona-fide racing boat.
5. That if a member of the committee ceases to be stroke or steerer of
a racing boat before he leaves residence in Oxford, he is not thereby
disqualified from acting on the committee.
6. That the stroke of the Oxford University boat be ex qfficio president
and treasurer of the club and committee, and that the committee do
appoint one of their body secretary, whose duty it is to keep an account
of their proceedings.
7. That three members of the committee form a quorum, and that
in the absence of the president the secretary act as such.
8. That if (in the case of the unavoidable absence of one of its
members) the committee should be equally divided on any point, then,
if the business should be urgent, the acting president has a casting vote ;
but that should the business not be urgent, it be deferred until all the
committee are able to attend.
9. That any important decision of the committee be placed for in-
spection in some conspicuous part of the club barge forty-eight hours
previous to its being carried into effect.
ro. That if any of the proceedings of the committee be unsatisfactory,
any three strokes, or any one stroke with nine members of the club,
by stating their cause of complaint in writing, with their names affixed
thereto, and placing it in a conspicuous place in the club barge, may
appeal to a meeting of strokes and representatives of colleges, on
giving twenty-four hours' notice.
1 1. That a majority of strokes and representatives duly called together
may at any time depose the stroke of the Oxford University boat.
12. That on the stroke resigning his office the secretary do become
temporary president of the club, and that the first boat on the river
which has no member on the committee do send either its stroke or
steerer as a temporary member thereof (provided he be a member of
the club) ; and that the committee so constituted proceed as soon as
possible, certainly within one term, to appoint a new stroke.
13. That the appointment of stroke be subject to the approval of
a general meeting of strokes and representatives of colleges.
14. That on such approval being given, the secretary do immediately
resign the office of president to the stroke so appointed ; that the last-
mentioned member of the committee do immediately cease to be a
member thereof; and, if the new stroke was previously on the com-
mittee, a new member of the committee be elected as soon as convenient,
according to Rule 3.
15. That an alphabetical list of not more than twenty-four members
24 OXFORD ROWING
chosen by the committee for their superior pulling, be always kept in
a conspicuous place in the club barge, and that two or three boats belong-
ing to the club be kept on the river during the winter terms, under the
management of the committee.
1 6. That the entrance money be paid before the admission of a
member to the club ; that all annual subscriptions become due at Easter ;
that notice be given to all who have not paid their subscriptions a
fortnight before Whitsunday, and that if they have not paid them before
Whitsunday they be considered as having retired from the club, and
their names struck off the list accordingly ; and that if any gentleman
become a member between Whitsunday and Christmas, he must pay his
annual subscription for the previous year.
17. That the treasurer be required to show his accounts to the
committee once in each term, and to have them signed by at least two
members of the committee.
18. That the president, or a majority of the committee, have the
power to call a meeting of strokes and representatives of the colleges
at any time, but that he be bound to do so previous to every public
race.'
It will be seen that the change thus made in the establishment
of the O. U. B. C., though a most important one in its conse-
quences, was nominally a very slight one. The strokes of the
racing boats remained as before the legislators with regard to
boating matters, whilst the stroke of the University boat became
the president, his hitherto ' omnipotent ' power being controlled
by a committee.
It is perhaps characteristic of the way in which the O. U. B. C.
grew naturally out of its surroundings, that we are able to find
no notice of its formation outside the club books. Even the
local papers, though they had for the last three or four years
awakened to the fact that the Eights were worth recording,
and had begun to designate them as 'those manly and noble
sports,' make no mention of any change. It is not till later on
in the year, when the prospects of the first Henley Regatta
are being discussed, that, without comment, they notice the
O. U. B. C. as one of the possible competitors.

CHAPTER V
GENERAL HISTORY OF THE BOAT CLUB
THE club being now fairly launched, it speedily began to
outgrow the moderate designs of its founders. Almost at once
the Pairs were instituted, and in the next year the Fours ;
at the same time the design for medals was chosen, ' several
designs being produced by the members present, and the best
ideas amalgamated.' Absolute power was given to the com-
mittee to make new rules for the college races, in consequence
of which many changes were made, which were declared to be
a great success.
In 1841 the Sculls were started, and a list of ' Rules of
C.ourtesy ' drawn up, ' which crews of racing boats and others
are particularly requested to observe.' All these early rules
were printed on separate sheets of large size, for the purpose,
it would seem, of being fastened to the side of the barge.
No entry was made this year in the president's book, and
from a letter in Bell's Life it would seem that the president
was also correspondent for that paper, and neglected to send
any news. The consequence is that our Torpid chart is missing
this year.
We find, from the treasurer's accounts, that the first Univer-
sity Barge was hired from a man named Heather for ^10 a term,
and that the same man received ,£2 55. a term ' salary.'
1843 was the year of the great ' seven-oared ' race, which
gave a tremendous impetus to Oxford rowing.
In 1844, owing to several accidents, the O. U. B. C. had to
take in hand the regulation of the puntsmen plying during the
26 OXFORD ROWING
races from the meadow to the towing-path. An account of this
will be found in Chapter XL Oriel introduced the first out-
rigger this year in their four.
1845 saw the general introduction into Oxford of outrigged
boats, an innovation viewed with much alarm by the University
authorities, who issued the following notice, signed by the Vice-
Chancellor : —
REGULATIONS FOR BOATS INTENDED FOR THE USE OF MEMBERS
OF THE UNIVERSITY.
i. All skiffs or boats constructed for less than four oars, of which the
rowlocks are projected from the sides by means of outriggers (commonly
called ' Clasper-built boats '), and all skiffs or boats constructed for one
or for two pairs of sculls, or for two oars only, of which the stern-post
shall be less than eight inches in depth measured perpendicularly, are
to be fitted, both forward and aft, with a sufficient deck or covering
made of wood or of waterproof canvas, and terminated within board by
water-tight bulkheads.
a. All Clasper-built skiffs, or boats constructed for less than four oars,
are to have the gunwale between the before-named bulkheads three
inches at least higher than the parts of the gunwale before and abaft
such bulkheads.
These rules, or possibly some others issued earlier, were not
altogether acceptable to the boating men, and we find an entry
in which, after relating how a foul had been brought about
purposely by one of the competitors backing water with one
scull, the writer continues : ' This will excite no surprise in those
acquainted with his conduct in going to Mr. Harris, Magdalen
College, the Senior Proctor, to get him to interfere to prevent
Mr. X from rowing in his boat, on the plea of its being under
the regulation width specified as constituting a safe boat by
that learned council of old women, yclept the Hebdomadal
Board.' As Mr. Harris was an old Blue, we are not surprised
to find that the application failed to produce any interference.
Another interesting note this year is taken from the Worcester
book : ' The stroke of the boat having absented himself from
the river, a vote of censure was passed by the committee for
his absence, which appeared unnecessary, and a captain was
GENERAL HISTORY OF THE BOAT CLUB 27
unanimously elected to do his work. Note, no similar appoint-
ment has ever previously been made.' After this we find the
officers of the Worcester Boat Club to be captain, secretary,
stroke, and coxswain.
1846. A barge was bought from the Merchant Taylors'
Company.
This year also saw the abolition of watermen as coaches.
Mr. Shadwell, in proposing the change, said, ' A coxswain
ought to be a thinking, reasoning being, in a higher degree
than any waterman has yet shown himself to be.'
The O. U. B. C. Scratch Fours were started ' in consequence
of the lack of interest in the Pairs."
1852. A radical change was made this year in the Torpids.
Hitherto they had been held after the Eights, and were merely
second crews ; now they are transferred, ' at the request of the
crews,' to the Lent Term, and become henceforth feeders to
the Eights.
This change enabled the Sculls to be held in the Summer
Term, after the Eights.
1855. The present barge was built, the hull being built at
Pangbourne, and the upper part in Oxford.
A rule was made this year that all men rowing in the Torpids
must be members of the O. U. B. C.
1856 saw the introduction of keel-less boats. Exeter bought
one of Mat Taylor, and went head in her next year.
In 1857, by the removal of the Pairs to the Act Term, the
present arrangement of the various races was completed.
1858 was the year of the establishment of the Trial Eights.
Cambridge for many years had held an annual race between the
captains and the University, whilst we had organized no means
of picking and training the best men for the University race.
This want was now supplied.
The whole question of the finances of the club was also
carefully considered, and some rules were drawn up by Mr. E.
Warre, the president, who had formerly filled the office of
treasurer, for the better management of the club's finances.
28 OXFORD ROWING
In this year Isaac King gave up his boat-building business,
and was succeeded by Messrs. John and Stephen Salter.
Mr. King's last bill against the Boat Club is a curiosity; it is
pretty closely written and measures 5 ft. 2 in. in length.
About this time, fears of an invasion of England by Napo-
leon III led to the formation of Rifle Volunteer Corps all over
England, which were taken up very enthusiastically in the
University. In 1859 we find the president complaining that
' the spirit of the whole body of the rowing men seems to
have been transferred to the Rifle Corps, so that the river
is almost deserted ' ; and a little later, in 1862, we find the Boat
Club devoting four Friday afternoons each Lent Term to the
Rifle Corps, on which days no boats were to be taken out.
Like most arrangements of this sort, it was soon evaded, and
eventually was abandoned.
1862. A curious resolution was passed by the captains1
meeting : ' That in the opinion of this club it is inexpedient
that any race be rowed at Henley Regatta before 4 o'clock, and
that the president communicate with Cambridge and London
on the subject.'
Land was bought, and a boat-house erected for the club this
year above Folly Bridge, in Isis Street.
1863 was marked by a visit to Oxford of the Prince and
Princess of Wales. The O. U. B. C. learning that they wished
to see some rowing, deferred the usual Procession of Boats
to suit their convenience. The barge was given up to the
royal party, and a stand built in the meadow opposite, for
the usual visitors. The Prince and Princess were rowed from
Folly Bridge to the University Barge by the committee of the
O. U. B. C., in a boat specially built for the purpose by Salter,
whilst two pilot fours went ahead to clear the way, and the
Trinity eight, ' as Queen of the Isis,' formed an escort. Pro-
ceedings began with a race between two scratch eights, the
crews being drawn from men of various colleges, after which was
the usual Procession of Boats, when ' the Balliol crew afforded
considerable sport by upsetting opposite the University Barge.'
GENERAL HISTORY OF THE BOAT CLUB 29
1865. The president, this year, seems to have made no
entries in his book after the boat races. It would appear from
the writing that our clerk, finding several undated slips from
Bell's Life in the book, imagined that these contained the missing
accounts, and determined to supply the omissions. He accord-
ingly wrote the headings for the accounts, and then handed
over the slips to some lady to insert. The result is that instead
of the accounts for 1865 we have the Sculls and Pairs for 1864,
and the Fours and Trial Eights for 1863—3 warning to all
captains to date their newspaper slips, unless they paste them
into their right places at once.
A vote of thanks was passed to the outgoing president,
Mr. A. Morrison, for his services to the club, and for the
magnificent donation of .£200 to our funds.
1866. This year the University presented a first-class life-
boat to the Royal Lifeboat Institution. It was brought down
to the river on a cart, and manned by the University Eight and
Messrs. J. J. Hornby and W. F. Short, Old Blues. Archdeacon
Clarke read a few Collects, and then Mrs. Lightfoot, wife of
the Vice-Chancellor, dashed a bottle of wine against the bows
and named it the Isis. A rope was then cut, and the boat
with its crew dropped five feet into the water, and was rowed
past the barges. After this it was taken to the wharf near
Folly Bridge, and, the crew having left it, was upset to show
its self-righting powers. It is now stationed at Hayle, in
Cornwall.
In 1867 we had a lawsuit with the Oxford Local Board, which
had assessed all the barges for rates. We appealed against the
assessment, the colleges and the boat-builders joining together
with the club to fight the question. Mr. J. W. Chitty, Q.C.,
was counsel for the club. The decision turned upon the fact
that the barges are not connected in any way with the bank,
and are mere movable chattels, the judge declaring that it
would be a strong thing to hold a chattel ratable.
Christ Church put up the railings alongside the barges, and
began to charge rent for the gates.
3o OXFORD ROWING
There was an International Regatta at Paris, attended by
several Oxford crews. The vases now in the barge were won
here, and presented next year by the winners to the boat club.
1868. Mr. E. G. Banks, of Worcester College, published a small
book on ' Oxford and Cambridge Aquatics,' criticizing severely
the management of the O. U. B. C, and attacking especially its
expenditure. The most important result of this publication was
that next year Mr. Banks was elected treasurer of the club, and
put the finances on such a healthy footing, that shortly after his
time the debt, which had hung upon the club for years, was
finally cleared off.
A suggestion having been made this year of putting on a crew
at Henley under 'University qualification,' a resolution was
passed strongly disapproving of any crew competing at Henley
which did not represent a recognized boat club.
The bathing-place was made at the Long Bridges by the club,
subsidized by a grant from the University; but the finances
were kept entirely separate from those of the Boat Club, being
managed by the president, and a separate capitation fee was
levied for it on the college boat clubs.
1869 was memorable for the Harvard race. The proposal to
accept the challenge was carried, after a long discussion, by one
vote only. The expenses of the race were defrayed by a special
subscription,
A committee was appointed to inquire into the finances of
the club. On their recommendation the barge was mortgaged,
the old mortgage was paid off, and various small economies
were suggested. Previous to this a suggestion had been made
that the colleges should pay thrice their usual capitation fees,
and clear off the debt at one sweep. To this they naturally
replied, ' We will pay off our own debts first.'
This is the last year that the rules of the Boat Club were
issued in sheets, the rules being at the same time now first
issued in book form.
1870 saw the first of the aquatic sports, held annually for
some years in the reach below the Green Barge. The events
were running headers, fifty yards, a hundred yards, three
hundred and fifty yards, distance dive, half-mile, and hurdle
race.
The rule as to watermen not coaching boats was rescinded,
on account of the difficulty the smaller colleges had in finding
coaches. It was re-enacted three years later.
In 1871 Keble appears on the river for the first time.
1872. Sliding seats were first used this year at Henley
Regatta, and in the Fours. The river wall, which up to this
time only reached as far as the Cherwell, was continued to
Saunders' Bridge, and a scheme was started for taking off the
Gut corners, dredging the river to a uniform depth of six feet
all over, and raising the towing-path down to Iffley. The
captains undertook to get subscriptions towards this, but only
two of them made any real effort to do so, and finally the
captains' meeting passed a resolution, in the teeth of the opposi-
tion of the committee, to borrow the money and raise the
capitation fees to pay it off'. At a later meeting this resolution
was rescinded, and the scheme was finally abandoned in 1876.
A change was made in the challenge races this year, by
which the holders had to draw for heats with the rest, and not
wait in as heretofore till the final heat, and no boat was to be
allowed to draw more than one bye.
In 1874 the Eights and Torpids were each rowed for the first
time in two divisions.
1876. The accounts of the club were first published this
year. Up to this time the treasurer had each term made a
'statement of accounts' at the captains' meeting at the begin-
ning of term. This statement invariably showed a balance
in bank, which was greeted with applause, and was as invari-
ably followed by a statement of outstanding debts, which put
the balance more or less seriously the wrong side, but which
was always received as an excellent jest.
The second issue of the rules of the club in book form was
made this year.
A coffer-dam, which had been built half across the river
32 OXFORD ROWING
from the Oxfordshire shore, because of the drainage works,
was in the Long Vacation shifted to the Berkshire shore, and
caused considerable inconvenience during the Fours.
An attempt was made this year to make every man wear-
ing a college badge on his boating coat, or using note paper
with his college crest on it, take out a licence for armorial
bearings. After considerable discussion with the Inland
Revenue authorities, it was settled that if each club and col-
lege took out the licence, the members would be exempt.
1879. 'The Sculls were the only redeeming feature at
Oxford during this summer.'
1880. The new boat-house, which had been proposed two
years before, was begun. It was almost completed by the
end of the year, and several boats were already housed in it,
when, on Jan. 9 of the next year, it was destroyed by fire.
A subscription was at once started to rebuild it, and was well
taken up. Amongst other donations may be especially men-
tioned one of TOO guineas generously sent by the C. U. B. C.,
and another of ^100 from the University Chest.
There are no records in the president's book from Decem-
ber, 1884, to May, 1886.
1886. At a captains' meeting held in May, the rule with
regard to the president's election was altered. It was now
to take place in the Summer Term, ' in order that the president
should have an opportunity of noticing the best oarsmen in
the Eights, with a view to the Trials in the Summer Term.'
The University bathing-place at the Long Bridges was sold
to the city authorities, whilst this same year saw the last of
the old Folly Bridge Lock. We give a picture of this from
a painting of about 1830.
1887. There are no records in the president's book from
Putney, 1887, to Putney, 1888.
Clinker Fours were established in November this year, to
be rowed after the Torpids.
Rules were made for the regulation of the course of boats
in the New Cut, and on coming out of it.

GENERAL HISTORY OF THE BOAT CLUB 33
1888. Owing to a fatal accident at Cambridge, a rule was
passed obliging all racing boats to have an indiarubber ball
fixed on the end of their bows.
In 1889 a punt upset during the Torpids, and a member of
St. John's College was unfortunately drowned. This led to
several rules being passed by the O. U. B. C, with a view
to avoiding such disasters for the future. Each club was to
have its own waterman and punt, the overcrowding of punts
was forbidden, two lifebuoys were to be kept on each barge,
and all rowing members of the O. U. B. C. were to be able
to swim. At the same time the Thames Conservancy were
induced to stop all dredging opposite the barges, where
punting was very dangerous, owing to the alternate deep
holes and shallows made by the dredgers. A temporary
bridge was also thrown across the mouth of Trill Mill stream,
with the idea that people who could not swim would prefer
to walk round by Folly Bridge and Salter's slope, rather
than risk the dangers of the passage across the river. We
need hardly say that the bridge was scarcely ever used, and
was speedily given up as useless.
The Clinker Fours, founded two years previously, and for
which, in 1888, Mr. D. H. McLean gave a challenge cup in
memory of his brother, were held for the first time this year.
In 1890 a circular was issued with regard to finances, in
consequence of which fresh rules were made with regard to
the presentation of accounts, and auditors were appointed.
The rules of the Boat Club were revised and reprinted.
A challenge cup was presented this year by the two Univer-
sity Boat Clubs and old University oars, to be held by the
winner of the Inter-University race in Australia.
1891. A natural corollary to the rule passed in 1886 as to
the election of president was now made. The secretary of
one year, as a rule, becoming the president of the next, it
was agreed that both president and secretary should be
elected in the Summer Term.
There was a great frost in the Easter Term. A coach and
D
34 OXFORD ROWING
four was driven down the ice, the Torpids were postponed,
and at one time it was probable that the University race
would not take place till after Easter. With regard to the
postponement of the Torpids, letters were written to the papers
after the meeting, accusing the president of ' forcing on college
captains a date to which they strongly objected.' As the
objections, if felt, had found no one to give them voice at the
captains' meeting, he reminded them at the next meeting that :
'It's little fools who speak too much,
But great ones not at all.'
We extract the following note from the Trinity book :-
' R. P. Atherton and R. P. O. Bird rowed three dead heats
in two consecutive days, and so a bronze medal was awarded
to each of them, instead of the usual silver medal.'
1893. The last procession of boats was held this year.
1896. The use of bicycles on the towing-path, first intro-
duced by A. Inman, of Magdalen, in 1889, had become so
common that it had to be regulated. Rules were accordingly
passed that only two persons were to ride with each boat,
and that they were to observe the ordinary rules of the road.
Another matter which also required regulating was the
evasion of the rule as to all rowing members of the O. U. B. C.
passing a swimming test. There had been rumours that men
from time to time had swum the pass and obtained certificates
for their friends, but these rumours were naturally hard to
investigate. At last two men received rewards from the
Royal Humane Society for rescuing members of one of the
Torpids, wrecked at the Gut corner within a few feet of
land, the said members having produced certificates that
they could swim four lengths of the Merton Baths. The
matter was then brought before a captains' meeting and a
drastic rule passed, making the captain of each club directly
responsible for the bona fides of each certificate, and adding,
'that any boat rowing a man who had obtained a certificate
unfairly, shall lose one place and be fined ^5, for every
night he has rowed.' It is significant of the extent to which
GENERAL HISTORY OF THE BOAT CLUB 35
the rule had been broken, that in order to get the new rules
passed, the committee thought it best not to make them retro-
spective, but to accept all certificates hitherto sent in as
genuine.
One more change introduced this year was in the present rule
for turning at Iffley. Hitherto, only one boat was allowed to
turn at a time, and, in consequence, sometimes as many as
fourteen boats would be waiting in a long string above the
lasher. When the proposal was made that two boats should
turn at a time, it was received with considerable misgivings
by the captains' meeting, but at last was passed as an ex-
periment, to be tried for one week, the committee being
empowered to stop it even before that time if it led to con-
fusion, or to continue it permanently if it proved a success.
1898. Oxford joined in the howl that was raised this year
by all rowing men against the Henley railway scheme, and
the Great Western Railway finally withdrew the plan.
An important proposal was brought forward this year, with
a view to keeping Oxford clear of the visitors whom the
Eights especially are supposed to attract, and who then stay
on to the end of term, the object being to alter the date of
the Eights. The scheme was backed by some of the best
friends of rowing at Oxford, without whose support it would
probably never have been considered, as it involved holding
the races in Commemoration week, when a large proportion
of the men would be down. A special meeting of the captains
was held to discuss the question, which was brought forward
by the most influential of its rowing supporters, who was
specially invited to explain it to the meeting. After a very
long discussion it was unanimously agreed to reject the
scheme as it stood, as 'fatal to the rowing of the weaker
colleges, and likely to do much to destroy the interest in
rowing in Oxford generally.' At the same time the com-
mittee, strengthened by the captains of Oriel and Corpus,
were empowered to meet the promoters of the scheme and
talk over the objections to it.
D 2
36 OXFORD ROWING
The rules having to be reprinted this year, the opportunity
was taken to insert a new rule, forbidding a member of
the committee to be present at any dispute involving either
his own college, or a crew for which he had acted as regular
coach : and also providing for an emergency committee when
this rule, or the absence of members of the committee with
the Eight, renders it impossible to form a quorum.
AUTHORITIES.
The O.U.B.C. and College Boat Club records.
ON
n
oo
The Eights.
OUR information with regard to the races before 1837, when
the Brasenose and Balliol books begin, is derived from various
sources.
Fortunately, two gentlemen who rowed in the early races,
J. Swainson, who came up to St. John's in 1815, and H. B.
Bulteel, who rowed in the Brasenose boat in 1822, lived on
in Ox-ford for some years, the one as Fellow of St. John's
and Vicar of St. Giles, and the other as Fellow of Exeter;
and it is probably through them that such facts as we have
of the races before 1824 have been preserved. These are
recorded by Sir Courtenay Knollys.
After 1824 our records are fuller, and are obtained from
Rev. J. C. Clutterbuck, Exeter, afterwards Rector of Long
Wittenham, and member of the Thames Conservancy; and
from the diary of T. Staniforth, stroke of the Christ Church
boat. Both of these sources seem to have been tapped by
Knollys and by Mr. W. B. Woodgate, as recorded in his
Badminton book. For 1826, which would otherwise be blank,
we have fortunately the letter of Mr. R. J. Spiers, already
made use of, and although we have not the exact details of
the racing, we can fill up the chart conjecturally so as to
give the final results.
38 OXFORD ROWING
From 1830 onwards we have extracts from the diary of
Rev. R. Barnes, Vicar of Ardington, now published for the
first time, and furnished kindly by Sir Courtenay Knollys. We
have been able to check these records to a great extent by
the Exeter treasurer's book, and in the later years by the
Oxford Herald and Jackson's Oxford Journal.
In 1837 the Balliol and Brasenose books begin, and in 1839
the O. U. B.C. records, so that entries after this date may be
deemed official.
We insert here the principal facts connected with the Eights,
and such notes on the racing as are too long to be placed
under the chart.
1839. On the first night, owing to the boats being late
through a dispute at starting caused by the high wind, the
race began ' after dark ' at 9 o'clock. Merton bumped Balliol,
but the race was cancelled. In consequence of this, starting
lines were instituted, which were held ' by a man on the
shore,' and it was agreed that for the future the boats should
leave Sandford at 7 o'clock, and the race should be started
with two pistols instead of one, and at the second pistol all
must start. The consequence was the next race was rowed
' in broad daylight.'
For another quaint notice this year we are indebted to the
Oxford Herald: ' A great interest was also excited during the
later races, occasioned by the presence of the favourite boat of
the sister University, viz. the Black Prince. The boat is
splendidly fitted up, and worthy of the noble crew who man
her. They most of them appear to have attained the age of
thirty-five or forty.'
This was possibly the last year that the Eights went down
to Sandford before the races. We have, as we have seen,
a record of their doing so this year, and the practice had
ceased in 1842. Mr. Davie gives the following account of the
expedition : The Eights used to go down to Sandford and stay
there for about an hour, the crews amusing themselves with
gymnastics or skittles, or strolling about 'until they were
THE EIGHTS 39
tired.' They then paddled up to Kennington Island, where
they had a preliminary burst up the straight reach, each
boat being anxiously timed by the others. After this they
fell into order and paddled on, with a good deal of chaff, to
the lock, which they passed through, and then took their
places for the start.
In the next year, 1840, new regulations were made for the
Eights, to the following effect : —
The start was to be at 7.45.
Three guns were to be fired, as now, instead of two as arranged the
previous year.
The distance between the boats was to be too feet.
That there should be a night for each boat entered.
That a boat taking off should go bottom.
That a boat making a bump should immediately draw to one side, so
as not to impede the boats behind it.
That the touching of any part, whether it be boat, oars, or rudder,
constitute a bump.
That the races terminate at the White Post, to which King's Barge is
affixed.
That boats taking off lose their night. (The racing nights this year
being thus reduced from thirteen to ten.)
That the last boat start above the piles at Iffley Lock.
That each boat have three umpires, who shall settle disputes, if
possible, or refer them to the committee.
Up to this time, whenever a bump occurred, all the boats
below at once stopped racing. In consequence of this, as
a signal to the lower boats, the bump was acknowledged, not
by the coxswain, as now, but by the stroke, who tossed his
oar. Thus if a bump occurred early in the race, between
the top boats, it put an end to all other racing for the night.
This had actually happened on the first night of the previous
year, when, ' soon after the commencement of the races, Merton
bumped Balliol, putting an end to any further interest, as
being second boat it precluded all those who were behind
from bumping. After the races all the boats pulled into
King's Barge in fine style, and the alterations in the flags
were made amid much cheering.'
40 OXFORD ROWING
In 1841 a rule was made that ' boats taking off are only to
lose a place for the night.'
1842. This year a rule was made allowing any college to
put on two boats if it had on a Torpid, and also allowing
colleges with less than forty members to amalgamate to form
a crew.
It is a matter of interest to notice that the two great rivals
of later days, Magdalen and New, are here classed amongst
the weakest colleges, below even one of the halls. The rule
runs : ' That any two of the following colleges and halls be
allowed to join together for the purpose of putting on a boat,
viz. Magdalen Hall, Lincoln College, Pembroke College, Mer-
ton College, St. Mary Hall, Magdalen College, New College,
St. Alban Hall, St. Edmund Hall, and New Inn Hall; but
that the four following be not allowed to join together, viz.
Merton, Lincoln, Pembroke, and Magdalen Hall. That if these
colleges should next year separate, they take the place of
the joint boat, either in the order they held before joining,
if on the river, or according to seniority of college.'
This rule appears up till 1861, except that Pembroke is
omitted from the list in 1858, but is not in the rules printed
in 1869.
Strangely enough Corpus, which formed part of each of
the only two amalgamations recorded, is not in the list of
colleges thus allowed to join together.
The nights of racing were reduced this year to nine.
1843. Umpires were abolished. In consequence of the
floods a change was also made in the starting-place of the
lowest boat, which was moved from the lock to just above
the lasher.
1844. We get two interesting notices from the secretary's
and the Pembroke books respectively. ' In consequence of
the Derby race being on Wednesday, the boat racing will be
on Monday, Thursday, and Friday.' And ' Mr. Burton, living
twenty- four miles from Oxford, without whom Pembroke
could not make up a crew, had a pair oar brought out, and
THE EIGHTS 41
put on a canal near where he lived, in which he practised,
coming up each day of the races to row.'
1846. Outrigged boats were adopted by some of the
colleges, but Exeter at any rate went back to the old type
the next year.
The cords and bungs seem to have been very fatal this year.
In 1847 the Eights were marked by one of the rare appeals
against the committee to a captains' meeting, details of which
are given in the notes on the races.
A quaint accident befell Brasenose, which is thus described
in the Oxford Herald: 'On Wednesday, May 19, Brasenose
met with an unfortunate and unlooked-for accident. On
passing the Cherwell they were some considerable distance
ahead of Christ Church, and were rowing beautifully towards
home, when, just as the head of the boat was passing the red
flag, one of the crew caught a " crab," and in endeavouring
to recover himself, was thrown completely out of the boat
into the river, and as the boat was thrown on its side it
shipped a considerable quantity of water. The seven oars
had not the least chance to pull the boat past the flag, as all
the oars on the bow side were in the air, and stroke side
deep in the water.' In consequence of this accident Christ
Church bumped them on the post.
1857. This year the new style of keel-less boats, built by
Mat. Taylor, of Newcastle, and known as ' Newcastle boats,'
was introduced. Oriel, Brasenose, Exeter, Balliol, and Pem-
broke all used them in the Eights.
1858 was the first time the Eights were rowed on consecutive
nights. The number of bumps was very small, so complaints
were made that crews had no time to practise and improve
during the races.
In 1864 a motion was brought forward that the number of
nights in the Eights should be reduced to six, but was lost
by a large majority. 'The argument of Mr. Shepherd, of
Brasenose, that then they could no longer be called " Eights "
went a long way for the conservative cause.'
42 OXFORD ROWING
The distance between the boats this year was fixed at 130 ft.,
' because so few bumps had been made in the Torpids,' though
strangely enough the rule was not to affect the Torpids.
1865. 'The practice of getting up old men to row during
the races was this year carried to excess; all the bumps on
the sixth night and the headship of the river had been gained
by these means, after the regular eights-men in residence had
been unable to gain a bump. The men got up were Woodgate,
Brasenose ; Risley, Exeter ; and Middleton, Magdalen,' who
were all in training, as they were rowing in the Kingston
eight. Christ Church, in similar way, put in Burton, but
unsuccessfully, as they were bumped. In consequence of the
strong feeling produced by this, the rule requiring ten days'
residence before the first race was made next year.
We find from the Corpus book that the practice of the
Eights was very different to what it is now. Paddling was
an unrecognized art, whilst courses were rowed very fre-
quently—on this year 'every evening.' Two years later, only
a couple of days before the race, we find an entry: 'Did
a course (in a new boat) first time in 7 min. 22 sees., and
liking the boat went down again in 7 min. 15 sees.' On the
next day we find, ' rowed up first time all the way.' Again,
in 1871, a course was rowed on the Friday before the races,
two courses on Saturday, and a course again on Monday.
1867. A proposal was made to row the Eights in two
divisions, but was lost.
1873.- Sliding seats were first used in the Eights. Unlike
the other changes in boats they produced a convincing im-
provement in pace from the first. ' Many and ominous were
the rumours among the watermen and old Oxford oars as to
the slides that would be broken, and the crabs that would
be netted on the first night of the races, and Exeter, with
a conservatism worthy of a better cause, determined to row
upon fixed seats.' Results— they were bumped by Corpus
the first night, by Wadham the second, by Queen's over two
places the third. On the fourth they had slides fitted, but
THE TORPIDS 43
were bumped by Merton, after which they kept their place
until Keble, who had been bumped by St. Mary Hall on
the first night, took to slides and rebumped them on the
seventh, and now caught Exeter on the winning post.
Worcester had fixed seats for the first three nights, then
took to slides, and made a bump over two places.
1874. The Eights were rowed this year for the first time
in two divisions. Owing to the number of boats on, the head
boats had for some years started about the Freewater Stone,
a fact which made the race between the top boats a thorough
scramble, and made it very hard to catch a boat which once
got head. The Eights, considered simply as a spectacle, lost
much by the change, but from the point of view of the racing
it was an enormous improvement.
1890. On the fourth night, during the absence of Tims, for
the first time for twenty-one years, the starter's watch went
wrong, and the third gun was fired two minutes too soon.
In consequence of this a complication arose between Hertford,
Keble, and Corpus. The committee, on appeal, came to the
illogical decision that the race had been duly started, but
that the three boats must race again. This Hertford refused
to do, and Keble and Corpus withdrawing their claims, the
boats started in the same order the next night. To avoid
disputes as to the meaning of the starting rule for the future,
an old clause was reinserted, ' that after the third gun the
race shall always be held to have begun.'
1898. An extraordinary number of bumps were caused by
crews failing to clear out of the way, and consequently the rule
to punish failure in this respect was made more stringent.
The Torpids.
The term 'Torpid,' applied first of all to the second boat
of a college, seems to have arisen in the early days of racing,
though, owing to the incompleteness of our early charts, we
have no means of knowing when second boats first began to
44
OXFORD ROWING
row. According to Woodgate the name 'Torpid' was first
used about 1826, and he tells us that Christ Church had on
a second boat in 1827. The fact that Torpids were in exis-
tence at least as early as 1827 has been curiously confirmed
by a piece of evidence recently discovered when we took
down the picture of the Exeter White Boat from its place in
the University Barge, for the purpose of having it photo-
graphed. On the back of it is an inscription, giving the history
of the boat and the names of her crew, and finishing with
the words : ' Presented to the committee of the Oxford Boating
Club by the Honourable John Joclyn, late of Exeter College,
and stroke oar of the Torpid in 1827.'
We can find no other mention of the early Torpids, beyond
a small scrap of loose paper, undated, which is in the
Brasenose book, and on which is written : ' Humphreys
thinks that " Torpids " were allowed to row in the races with
other boats when there were not many on, but that, when
there were enough, they had separate races.' Of itself this
bit of evidence would not be worth much, but it fits in with
two more bits, which we have from different sources, and
makes us feel pretty sure that Mr. Humphreys was right.
The first is from the Exeter book, where, on the first night
of the Eights, 1836, we find a second Christ Church flag at
the bottom of the string, showing that the Torpid rowed that
night. On the next night there are five new flags below it,
and then all disappear in subsequent races. Here Jackson's
Oxford Journal comes to our aid. It makes no mention of Christ
Church II on the first night, but we read : ' On May 30 the
flags also of Christ Church II, Corpus, Jesus II, Brasenose II,
St. John's, and University were hoisted ; but it was found
inconvenient for so many crews to be on at once, so the
second crews of Christ Church, Jesus, and Brasenose were
withdrawn.'
In 1837, Mr. Davie tells us, there were Torpids, but boats
went down to the race or not, just as they liked ; they were
not taken very seriously.
THE TORPIDS 45
In 1838 it was determined, at a meeting of strokes, that no
Torpids should put on with racing boats. This is the first
year we have any evidence of their racing separately, three
nights being recorded in the Balliol book.
From 1839, ^h one exception, we have a complete chart
of the Torpids. They were rowed until 1852 after, or on
nights between, the Eights, and as they were merely second
crews no record was kept of their names, even when they
were head of the river.
Up to this time the rules as to Torpids seem to have been
very lax. According to a writer in the Oxford Magazine, no
boat that had been used in the college races could be used
in the Torpid races, except in the case of a college having
two eights on, when the second boat might be used. A few
years later the rule had been so far relaxed that a boat that
was three years old might be used both by Eight and
Torpid.
In 1840 the O. U. B. C. made a drastic rule prohibiting any
man who had rowed, even for one night, in his Eight, rowing
in the Torpids, in consequence of which all the boats but one
took off. The rule was subsequently modified, so that a man
rowing for three nights in the Eights could not row in the
following Torpids.
1841. We can find no details of the Torpids for this year.
1847. We get an interesting note from the Pembroke book,
which throws a light on the way in which Torpids were
made up at this time. On the second day Pembroke bumped
Christ Church at the corner below the Gut. On the third
Christ Church changed their crew, and bumped Pembroke
at the same place. On the fourth the Pembroke captain took
a gig and drove about twenty miles, and brought back
Mr. Poole, with whose assistance they bumped Christ Church
at the Weirs' Bridge.
1849. The following entry in the Exeter book will read
quaintly to the present generation : ' Tims, to row bow of the
Torpid, 2S. 6d. '
46 OXFORD ROWING
In 1852 the Torpids took their present position as feeders
to the Eights, being transferred, ' at the request of the crews,'
to the Lent Term. Up to this year, being only second boats,
they were thought so little of that, even when head, the
names of the crew have only been recorded in one solitary
instance. With the change, their importance seems to have
been realized at once, as we have been able to get the
names of the head boat for every year from this time, and
the light-hearted practice of taking off and putting on again
during the races, which has been so characteristic of the
early Torpids, ceases. Thus, almost by accident, after typical
English fashion, these races have tumbled into their tru6
place.
1858. Exeter started head of the river, and being in good
training kept their place with credit for four days. Then
the ice on the river stopped the races for a week. In this
interval some of the crew went partially out of training. The
result was that they were bumped on March 8 by Pembroke
at Saunders' Bridge.
1859. At a meeting of captains it had been proposed that
the Torpid races should always be rowed in gig eights (in
order that the Torpid crews might be efficient as nurseries
from which to supply oars to the college races). Though this
was not passed, Mr. Warre, as captain of the Balliol Boat
Club, determined to try the experiment with his own Torpid,
and though they were the lightest crew on the river, and
had to contend against the lightest north country and south
country boats, the result was so satisfactory, especially as
regards improvement in form, that a rule was passed by the
O. U. B. C. that the Torpids should be rowed after 1860 in
gig boats.
The races this year were rowed on successive afternoons.
1866. Brasenose went head, rowing five B.A.'s, including
an old stroke of the Oxford boat. In consequence of this
a rule was passed next year, to take effect in 1868, 'That no
man who has ever rowed as many as four nights in his
THE TORPIDS
47
college Eight, shall afterwards be allowed to row in his college
Torpid ' ; but this does not appear in the rules printed in
1869; but a rule was inserted shortly afterwards, 'That no
gentleman be allowed to row in his Torpid who has exceeded
the limit for honours in the final schools.'
1870. On the second night Exeter were caught by Queen's,
who failed to get clear, and so were run into by Balliol ;
Pembroke rowed past Balliol and claimed a bump, but were
condemned to lose a place to Oriel for starting before the time.
Wadham, who had bumped Oriel, were thus deprived of their
bump, so they claimed one on Balliol, whom they had rowed
past, but, on being asked if they really pressed their claim,
withdrew it.
1872. On Nov. 8 a new rule was passed, 'That no Torpid
or Torpids shall be allowed to use a sliding seat; for it is
now a golden rule that if a man cannot row on a fixed seat
he cannot slide.'
1873. We extract the following from the Exeter book : —
' A fearful scrimmage occurred among the upper crafts. Balliol
had bumped Trinity, and failed to get out of the way of
Lincoln, who were driven against the wall by Queen's.
Wadham, in hot pursuit, cut right into Queen's, and were
themselves upset by Oriel. Into the midst of this mass of
confusion came the luckless Exeter; Pembroke were upon
them in an instant, and Magdalen rushed into Pembroke,
followed by Corpus, who managed to paddle past the debris
and reach the winning post. Exeter and Balliol were each
fined /5.'
1874. The Torpids were rowed for the first time in two
divisions.
1885. The Christ Church book records the following incident:
' The second had a curious adventure. Pembroke (No. 10)
broke an oar at the start and were run into by Keble above
the Green Barge, both crews stopping. Wadham (12) ran
into Keble and stopped, apparently thinking they had made
a bump, and our boat (13) rowed by, followed at the regular
48 OXFORD ROWING
interval by the Unattached (14). Pembroke now began to
question whether they had been bumped or not, and went
off again, reaching the Green Bank two lengths in front of
Christ Church II. Here we were gaining on them naturally
every stroke, when at their boat-house their stroke jumped
overboard, having up to then sat and swung, though he had
broken his oar at the start. Notwithstanding this, they came
back to us, and were bumped at the Barge, amidst wild
excitement. The O. U. B. C. Junto, however, decided that
they had been bumped by Keble, and were therefore no
prey for us, but that we might have a bump off Wadham,
which, however, on our producing the precedent of the Eights
of 1864, we were allowed to waive, an attention that Wadham
magnanimously declined to accept.' Then comes a note, ' After
all our Torpid remains 13 instead of 12, for the president
ruled that our wish should be acceded to. and that Wadham
should remain 12 malgre /«/.' This naturally led to a com-
plaint as to the uncertainty of presidents' decisions ; it having
been ruled in 1883 that Christ Church must lose three places,
though both boats wanted the bump to be off, whilst this
year Wadham is forced to accept the offer though refusing
to do so.
A rule has now been passed that bumps over two places
must always stand good.
1889. The races were postponed one night in consequence
of a fatal accident through the upsetting of a punt.
1891. A great frost ; the ice ten to fourteen inches thick.
The Torpids skated down the river to Sandford and rowed
on a short piece of open water below the lock. As the
outlook seemed hopeless, the ice being strong enough to bear
a coach and four, the races were postponed for a fortnight.
This arrangement brought a hornets' nest about the ears of
the committee, as the races would in this case clash with
Moderations ; and the ice breaking up very suddenly, another
meeting was called, and the races postponed only for a week.
As this clashed with the O. U. A. C. fixtures, they were.
THE TORPIDS 49
finally settled to begin on Wednesday and end the following
Tuesday.
1892. The term, with all its fixtures, began a fortnight later
than agreed, owing to the prevalence of influenza.
1895. The river this year ' was resigned to skaters, four-
in-hands, and roasted oxen,' and there were no Torpids.
Further details are given in Chap. X.
CHAPTER VII
THE CHALLENGE RACES
IN May, 1839, C. Bewicke, University College, and S. E.
Maberly, Christ Church, presented to the O. U. B. C. a pair
of silver challenge oars, to be rowed annually in two-oared
cutters ; to which a silver rudder was afterwards added by
W. B. Garnett, Brasenose, and R. Hobhouse, Balliol, to be
held by the coxswain of the winning boat.
These oars were presented in the first instance anony-
mously, but when rules were being framed for the races by the
O. U. B. C., the donors, thinking the meeting was not acting
wisely, were obliged to declare themselves, after which the
rules were drawn up as follows: —
That the race be rowed annually, between the fourteenth day of
November and the day on which any college (not hall) begins its
collections previous to the Christmas vacation.
That the race be pulled with two oars in skiffs, funnies, or cutters
built in Oxford, and that no wherries be allowed to start.
That the stroke of the Oxford University boat be disqualified from
pulling for the oars, and that no two of the Oxford University boat
crew are to start in the same boat.
That the boats be started by word of mouth by the lock-keeper at
Iffley, or whoever else usually starts the racing boats at Oxford, and
that he be paid by subscription among the crews that row.
That each crew appoint an umpire, and that the stroke of the
University boat be referee, and that his decision be final.
Like the other challenge races, they were at first rowed
level.
Next year the O. U. B. C. instituted the Fours. The crew
THE CHALLENGE RACES 51
of each boat to consist of members of one college, the races
in all other respects to be regulated by the rules for the
Silver Challenge Oars.
An attempt was made this first year to avoid the unfairness
of ' byes ' by making one of the defeated crews race the boat
which had drawn a bye. We can imagine that a race rowed
under such circumstances would not be a very serious one,
and the attempt was given up after the first year.
In 1841 a pair of silver sculls were presented to the Boat
Club by members of Christ Church, to be rowed for by
undergraduates. These races were held until 1852 in the
Lent Term, when, the University race having become an
annual event, and the Torpids being transferred to the Lent
Term, they were rowed after the Eights.
1844. Oriel rowed in the first ' outrigged ' boat mentioned
in Oxford, but were defeated in the final heat by University.
Next year two crews, Christ Church and St. John's, rowed in
outriggers, whilst sculling boats of the same build also made
their appearance on the river. In this same year, 1845, we
find the limit for the Pairs to be twelve terms.
In 1847, in the Fours, Brasenose, who had won a heat,
withdrew, owing to the illness of one of their crew, upon
which Lincoln, who had been defeated by them, claimed to
row in their place, a claim which the committee strangely
enough allowed, on the ground, it would seem, that they had
lost their heat through a mishap. In consequence of this
decision St. John's withdrew.
Steerers were abolished this year for the Pairs, and the silver
rudder was handed over to the coxswain of the Eight which
was head of the river. Both in the Pairs and Sculls bumping
races were instituted for the preliminary heats, a boat that
had been bumped disappearing from subsequent races. In
consequence of this there was a large increase in the number
of entries.
1849. Owing to the race with Cambridge the Fours were
postponed until the Lent Term of the following year.
£ 2
52 OXFORD ROWING
1850. As the Berkshire shore was almost always an advan-
tage to the boat winning that station, the Gut was staked out
with ' ryepecks,' placed so as to ' compel boats on the Berk-
shire shore to turn a corner of the same angle as the natural
Oxford corner.' This plan is still continued at the Oxford
Regatta, where the races are rowed level.
1851. In the account of the Sculls we find the entry: ' In
this and in the succeeding race the Cambridge plan of a "time
race " was adopted for the first time in Oxford, as otherwise
the Berkshire shore, owing to the wind and stream, must
have won.' Curiously enough, the opposite reason caused the
same plan to be adopted again in the autumn in the Fours
and Pairs, for ' on account of the lowness of the water, which
rendered it impossible for two boats to start abreast, time
races were adopted; an unsatisfactory method of racing both
to the spectators and to the oars, but the only fair one under
the circumstances.'
1852. One heat of the Fours was rowed for various reasons
three times. In the bumping races distance posts were insti-
tuted. The boats started forty yards apart, and there was
a distance post eighty-five 3'ards below the winning post. If
the last boat had not reached this when the one before was
in, it was disqualified.
In consequence of the state of the river the Pairs were
postponed until the following Lent Term. The present limit
of sixteen terms appears in the rules this year. The Sculls
were removed to the Act Term.
1857 saw the Pairs removed to the Act Term, instead of
the Michaelmas Term as heretofore.
1858. ' Sculling is on the wane at Oxford, because few can
afford to send to Newcastle for a boat, and if any one gets
one others do not care to contend against him.'
The Fours, this year, had to be postponed because of the
frost, and were rowed as time races for the same reason.
1859 was the last year that the races were rowed level.
Oxford had not taken kindly to time races, and for many
THE CHALLENGE RACES 53
years had abandoned them for the older plan whenever they
could ; but frost, wind, floods, and drought, were too much
for us, and henceforth, though without formal recognition and
often as it were under protest, time races became the rule.
1860. In consequence of a complication which arose in the
Fours, explained in the detailed account, two new rules were
passed : that no bumping was to be allowed in time races,
and that only two boats were to start in a heat.
1862. Bumping races in the Sculls were abandoned.
1871. Up to this time the old rule with regard to challenge
races had been followed : that the holders should stand out
until the final heat, and that the challengers should race
amongst themselves to see which of them should row the
holders for the cup. The method also of drawing heats of
the challengers would seem strange to us now, for each day
the .names of all the boats left in were put into a hat and
drawn afresh. In the whirligig of chance this naturally led
to some unfairness from time to time. In 1862, for instance,
University was drawn to row in each of the four heats, but
as they were the eventual winners nothing was said about
it. This year, on the contrary, Christ Church, in the Fours,
drew a bye two days running, and as three of the crews
were very level, it was thought by some that the ' House '
owed their narrow victory on the third day to the tremendous
race their opponents had the day before, when they had a day
off. In consequence of this a rule was made that next year
the holders should row on the same terms with the rest, and
that no boat should have more than one bye.
1872. Sliding seats were used in the Fours for the first
time in Oxford.
1873. Coxswainless Fours were established. They were
arranged to be rowed from the lasher to the island at
Nuneham, as level races, but the steering was so atrocious
that this latter idea was soon abandoned. We can well re-
member the sorry plight of one of the crews as we saw
them one da}', dripping wet, and shivering in the cold wind
54 OXFORD ROWING
on one of the piers in the middle of the river under Nuneham
Railway Bridge ; too cold to swim, and with no friendly boat
in sight to take them off, and their own boat a wreck through
running into the bridge ; and the steering in the other boats
was nearly as bad, only they had the good fortune always
to run into the bank on one side or the other.
So hopeless did it seem ever to get the steering of the
crews good enough for them to row on the home waters,
that the captains, feeling that it was bad for the rowing that
all the best oars of their college should go daily to Nuneham
with the Four, and leave their freshmen uncoached, passed
a resolution that the Fours for the future should be rowed
with coxswains. Fortunately a difficulty arose about boats, so
it was determined that the resolution should not take effect
for a year. Meanwhile the steering improved with practice,
and it was found possible to row the races on the Iffley
course, and the reactionary resolution was quashed.
It was about this time that rudders were first used in the
Pairs.
1877. This year the Pairs were made ' college ' Pairs, to be
rowed under the same regulations as the Fours, in the hope
that this might encourage competition ; but the experiment
proved a failure, and was abandoned.
1881. The day before the first race in the Fours Hertford
telegraphed to D. E. Brown, who came up and took his place
at ' two.' ' It is a great pity that the rule of ten days' residence
has never been made to apply to these races.' The rule was
afterwards introduced.
1891. The first day fixed for the Fours was so stormy that
they were postponed till the next day.
1892. A most unfortunate accident occurred this year in the
final heat of the Fours. Magdalen and Christ Church rowed
a very close race, which ended in the Magdalen pistol going
off first, and shortly afterwards that of Christ Church. The
' House,1 however, appealed on the ground that their pistol
missed fire, and that they really had won. The committee,
THE CHALLENGE RACES 55
after hearing the evidence of twenty-one witnesses, unanimously
agreed that this was so, a decision which was naturally re-
ceived with more than a good deal of scepticism by the losers,
who had already, be it remembered, tasted all the delights
of an apparent victory. In consequence of this most regrettable
incident, and of many former muddles, due some of them to
unskilful loading, some to unskilful handling of the pistols,
and in one case to the firer standing so far back from the
river that the flash was hidden by the bystanders, it was
determined that for the future the race should be signalled
by semaphores ; that it should be judged by a member of
the committee, or some senior member of the University ;
and that there should be no appeal against his verdict.
Another change made this year was that all time races
should end by the bows. Up to this year, following the rule
of the Eights, and contrary to the custom in races generally,
the practice had been to judge by the stern.
1894. The Fours were rowed on ' a record flood,' Iffley Lock
being entirely submerged.
CHAPTER VIII
THE BOAT RACE AND TRIAL EIGHTS
The Boat Race.
THE story of the various Oxford and Cambridge Boat Races
has been so well told by Messrs. Treherne and Goldie that
we shall not attempt in this chapter in any way to go over
the same ground, but merely give a few extracts from the
president's book and other sources, dealing with the methods
of practice and training in earlier days.
The first race with Cambridge was rowed at Henley in 1829,
and the Oxford Herald gives some notion of the excitement
which this race caused in that town. ' A general meeting was
held,' we are told, 'in the Town Hall, when a subscription
was entered into for providing music, fireworks, &c. At two
o'clock several bands of music, stationed at different parts of
the river, commenced playing. Nearly twenty thousand people
assembled on the banks of the river, whilst every inn and
public-house was crammed to excess, and provisions of every
sort were soon exhausted. The horses, for want of sufficient
stabling, were obliged to remain in the street the whole day.'
Jackson's Oxford Journal speaks of Oxford in their blue check
dress, and Cambridge in white with pink wristbands.'
1836. This year the Eights were arranged so as to give the
crew a clear week's practice after they were over, but, as Oriel
went up from bottom to second, one of these days was sacrificed
to give them a chance of going head.
THE BOAT RACE AND TRIAL EIGHTS 57
In 1839 Oxford engaged a London professional, Jones, to
coach them, and cut a channel through the ice, so as to lose
no time.
We have the following entry in the Balliol book :— ' Univer-
sity boat launched, and christened Isis with due honours.
Length 51 ft. 6 in. Colour white inside, with dark blue gunwale
inside and out. Oars only varnished above the neck, and
painted white below with dark blue blades.' MacMichael adds
that the arms of the University were emblazoned on the rudder.
The Eton men challenged the rest of the University to pull
them in the Abingdon Reach, but in consequence of the jealous
feeling displayed against them, and of the University being
employed in the affair of the Henley Challenge Cup, they
consented next day to withdraw their challenge.
The New Sporting Magazine says : ' Until the eleventh hour
appointed for its taking place, it was not definitely known
that it would be rowed, owing to the parties differing in opinion
with respect to the distance.' Cambridge wanted to row from
Westminster to Putney or from Vauxhall to Hammersmith
with tide. Oxford wanted to row against tide, or from Putney
to Hammersmith and back.
1840. A professional, Coombes, champion of the Thames,
and familiarly known as the Little Wonder, was hired to train
the crew for a fortnight for £10. Queen's and St. John's sent
Eights to the race.
1841. This year Fletcher Menzies introduced the long stroke
with a catch at the beginning. Coombes was engaged to
train the crew at a salary of ^5 per week.
We have from the Brasenose book a quaint letter written
by our coach this year. It is addressed to
Mr. John Cox
Brasnall Colledge
Oxford
It runs as follows : —
' I have riting thouse fue lines to ask you if you have enney
idier wether you will want me this turme or not as I dont like
58 OXFORD ROWING
to ingadge with anney other parte tell I year from you. Please
to send me word wether you like your oars or not
' No mor from
' Your humble servent
' ROBERT COOMBES.'
From the Brasenose book we also learn that the race in
1842 was not, as usual, the result of a challenge sent by one
University to the other, but of an advertisement, inserted in
Bell's Life by Cambridge, challenging the world. Both crews
this year agreed to take the London water three days before
the match.
1845. This year, and for several others about this time,
we have a bill for the Eight at Sandford, for brandy and water 45.,
and beer zd. daily, the total being ^3 145. 6d.
The following notes in the president's book are interesting :
'We came up to town on Friday morning, and rowed over
the course about half-past five, preceded by a made-up crew
with Shadwell coxswain to show us the best line to take.
Our time, as the tide was rather slack, was twenty-three
minutes— as Shadwell observed, "tidy." We dined together
afterwards and slept in town, arriving again in Putney on the
following day about one o'clock. At two we made our last
training meal on mutton chops and sherry.'
And again : ' For the Cambridge gentlemen a boat had been
prepared by Messrs. Slade, termed an " outrigger," on a new
principle introduced by the Claspers of Newcastle, being 60 ft.
long and only 2 ft. 10 in. wide.' However, they thought it
unsafe to row in her with so little practice.
1846. This was the first race in outriggers. The boat was
built with the stroke on the opposite side to what was usual
on the Thames. It was painted as usual dark blue inside.
A waterman, Noulton, received £20 for training the crew.
' The lusty strokes of the crew threatened downright destruc-
tion to their frail veneers.'
1849. The following was the method of training enforced
by Mr. Arthur Shadwell, who spent three years at Cambridge
THE BOAT RACE AND TRIAL EIGHTS 59
before migrating to Balliol : ' For the first ten days the crew
paddled to Sandford ; during the next fortnight the run was
extended to Nuneham and back, no stopping ; and for the
last three weeks the row was to Abingdon Corner and back
to Sandford, no stopping, where the crew got out and walked
home, the boat being brought home by watermen. Also
during the last of these weeks the distance was rowed at full
speed, time 20 minutes, 50 seconds . . . ; previous to this steady
and careful slow rowing was adopted. On their return home the
crew dined together at the Maidenhead Inn. This method of
practising a crew is infallible, and no set of painstaking oarsmen
can fail to win under such a preparation.'
1852. Cambridge, who for many years had been coached by
Mr. Tom Egan, the coxswain of their boat in 1836, this year
determined to employ Robert Coombes as their coach. Oxford,
accordingly, were able to secure the services of Mr. Egan.
It is interesting to find that this borrowing a coach from the
rival University, which has been done in one or two notable
instances in later years, should have begun thus early.
The system of training this year was much severer. ' The
crew had three weeks' easy but careful practice, followed by
five weeks' severer training. The daily work consisted of a
paddle to Sandford, the spurt thence to Abingdon Lasher,
a paddle back to Sandford, and a run home to Oxford. The
crew generally breakfasted together, and always dined together.'
Under this system we are not surprised to read : ' About the
middle of training there were the usual symptoms of weakness
in many, and several expedients were devised to lighten the
work without losing the row over the course.'
1856. From this date the Boat Race becomes an annual event.
1857. The present style of racing boat was used for the first
time. ' Our boat was built by Matthew Taylor, of Newcastle-
on-Tyne, and a perfect beauty she was, 55 ft. long, 25 in. wide.
Taylor himself steered us during our training, not to instruct
Oxford (vide Bell) in the art of rowing, but to show us the proper
way to send his boat along as quickly as possible. For as
6o OXFORD ROWING
the oars were all the same length (12 ft. 7 in.), and the rowlocks
at a different level to the old-fashioned boats, the old style
of high feathering and pulling out hard at the end was of
no use.'
1858. ' The diet was the usual beef and mutton, varied
occasionally with fish and poultry, and there was always
a plain pudding of rice, sago, or tapioca afterwards.' To this
the president attributes the crew's entire freedom from boils
and weakness in training. We find the O. U. B. C. had no
boat to practise in, but borrowed from the college boat clubs
from day to day, changing their craft almost daily, and this
seems to have been always their practice until they took
to the racing boat.
This year one member of the crew announced his intention
to absent himself for a day to go hunting.
In 1861 we get a very full account of the practice and method
of training.
We extract the following:—' Feb. 16, rowed to Wallingford,
dined there, came back by train. March 2, again rowed to
Wallingford. It began to blow and rain just after we started.'
This time they were rowing a man who had only been one
day in the boat.
' In the morning the old system of a mile run before chapel
was dropped, and a walk of half a mile substituted, which
was found a great improvement. Breakfast of chops and
steaks, bread and butter, and tea. Lunch, a half-pint of beer
and bread and butter, or a sandwich and a glass of sherry and
biscuits, which suited some men much better. At half-past two
started for our row, after which we always had a run of a mile
or half a mile, in the earlier part of the training usually a mile.
A clean jersey for rowing in every day was insisted upon.
For dinner we had four days a week beef or mutton, and
on the others fowls, fish for Sunday, and once or twice a light
pudding. We were always careful to have the same (i pint) of
beer every day. After dinner two glasses of port; never
allowed large glasses, but occasionally, after hard work, an
THE BOAT RACE AND TRIAL EIGHTS 61
extra glass. For supper a basin of gruel or a cup of chocolate,
and to bed at 10.30 sharp.'
The work of the crew for the last fortnight was as follows : —
Monday, nth. — Long course, 23 min. 30 sec. Wind, great guns
against, stream average, waves very high.
Tuesday, lath. — Long course, 21 min. 30 sec. Wind not so bad,
waves worse ; raced a scratch crew, and passed them at the last corner.
Wednesday, i3th. — Three times to Iffley.
Thursday, i4th.— Abingdon, 21 min. Wind slight against, stream
average.
Friday, isth. — Abingdon, 20 min. 35 sec. Wind slight against, stream
average.
Saturday, i6th. — Beat a scratch crew easy, 21 min. 3 sec. Wind
moderate against, stream slack.
On Monday they went to Putney, and rowed the course in 23 min.
30 sec. ; on Tuesday in 24 min. 30 sec. on a slack tide ; on Wednesday
in 21 min. 45 sec. ; on Thursday in 20 min. 35 sec., beating a crew
of watermen ; on Friday they tried starts, and on Saturday ' beat
Cambridge easy.'
The next year much the same system was adopted, the crew
rowing eight courses during the eleven days they were at
Putney, the 'off' days being two Sundays and the day before
the race.
1864. The experiments on the endurance of the human body
are now modified. We read : ' First and foremost, the crew must
only be worked up to the strength of the weakest man,' others
must ' do extra work over the common or in the Pairs. While
at Oxford, twice a week over the long course is quite enough.'
At the same time, the president was not inclined to spare
himself, for we get an entry on February 19: 'Rowed to
Wallingford, starting from the Barge at 2.15 or a little later.
I ran with the boat from Abingdon, not so much to coach as to
watch the men The frost kept the crew fresh, and they
rowed the last reach at a swinging pace, and ate heartily off
tough mutton, tougher beef, and tender chops, and were not
the worse for the day's work.' The distance from Abingdon to
Wallingford is fifteen miles.
In 1868, in consequence of the death of the Hon. J. H. Gordon,
62 OXFORD ROWING
a member of the Cambridge crew, the C. U. B.C. wrote during
the practice to withdraw their challenge, but on receipt of
a sympathetic but urgent letter from the O. U. B. C., and after
consultation with several old Blues, they finally consented to
row the race.
1871. The head quarters of the club at Putney were moved
from the White Hart to the Fox and Hounds.
In 1873 sliding seats were first used, but it was many years
before it was discovered how to get the full benefit out of them.
In the early days, as we find recommended in the president's
book, the object of the coach was to get the men to forget they
had a slide, and to swing naturally as if on a fixed seat.
1877 was the dead heat. It seems hardly credible that this
year, and for several years before, there was actually no definite
winning-post for the race. Phelps used to go down in a boat
as judge, and fire a gun when the first boat passed him, and
that ended the race, but there was no definite line by which
a close-rowed race could be judged. The fact was that there
was a general impression that ' the race was always over at
Barnes Bridge,' and so things had been allowed to drift on in
a haphazard fashion. So strong was the feeling that the finish
could never be a very close one. that a story was told at the
time of the race that one of the crew overnight laid a wager of
a hundred pounds to a shilling against there being a dead heat,
declaring that such a thing was impossible. The odds were
long, and were taken, but the money was never claimed.
The next year Mr. Fenner began his duties as judge, and
since this time we seem to have entered on about a ten-year
' cycle ' of remarkably close finishes.
In 1881 the race was postponed because of the fog, a post-
ponement which landed the two Boat Clubs in a costly lawsuit
with the steamer company, who charged full price for each day,
the one on which the race should have come off, and that on
which it was actually rowed.
In 1884 the race was postponed for a week, in consequence
of the death of the Duke of Albany. It was in this race that an
THE BOAT RACE AND TRIAL EIGHTS 63
umpire's launch was first used, the umpire having up to this
year stood in the bows of the ' umpire's steamer.'
We feel we cannot close this notice of the Boat Race without
recording the great obligations we are under to the officials of
the Thames Conservancy. Without their aid and admirable
arrangements it is not too much to say that the race could not
possibly be held ; and not only do they take endless trouble to
help us in this, but small matters are constantly cropping up on
the home waters in which the Boat Club committee have to seek
their aid, and in all cases our representations to them are met
by prompt and generous consideration.
The Trial Eights.
In 1858, during the presidency of Mr. E. Warre, considerable
alterations were made in the rules of the Boat Club, the most
important perhaps being the establishment of the Trial Eight
race. Cambridge had for years held a race between the cap-
tains and the University, which gave an opportunity to the
president of pitting the best men up at the time to row against
one another, so that he might see how men shaped when it
came to actual racing. In Oxford, up to this year, there was no
organization of the kind.
We have an account of the establishment of the race both
from Mr. Warre, the originator, and from Mr. Arkell, by whom
it was first carried out. The former we take from the presi-
dent's book, and the latter from a private log-book which has
kindly been placed at our disposal by Mr. Arkell.
In the president's book we find : ' The great feature in this
revisal of the rules is the addition of a new race, to be called the
University Trial Race, to be rowed in eight- oars at the end of
the Michaelmas Term, after the Fours. The president and
secretary are to choose two crews, and train them for not less
than twelve days, and the race is to be rowed either on the
Iffley course or at Nuneham, as the committee may decide. The
object of this is to get together sixteen of the best oars in the
OXFORD ROWING
University, with a view to having a fit and proper crew going
at the very beginning of the term ensuing for Putney. This
race should be regarded by future presidents as of the greatest
importance, both towards keeping alive a rowing spirit in the
University, and towards the match with Cambridge.'
Mr. Arkell writes: 'At the beginning of the present term'
(October, 1858) ' the idea of a new eight-oared race, as a nursery
for the University Eight, and from which the president should
be able to make a selection of new men for the University crew
at the beginning of Lent Term, was first suggested by Mr. Warre,
of Balliol, a short time previous to his resignation of the presi-
dency. At a captains' meeting held at the club barge on
November 2, the race was agreed upon, and fixed to be rowed
on Wednesday, December 8, while the committee undertook
to form rules which should establish it as one of the annual
O. U. B. C. races.
' The rules for the management of the race, as drawn up by
the committee, were laid before another captains' meeting, and
printed with the rules of the O. U. B. C.
' As might be expected, the new fixture did not settle down
into its place without any difficulties arising, and we find the
committee obliged to break one of their new-made rules almost
at once. The Fours had to be postponed, owing to ice in the
river, and were held so late that it was impossible to give the
crews the twelve days' practice agreed upon in the rules. This
was avoided afterwards by putting the Fours earlier in the
term. There were other difficulties, owing to men being in
the Schools, so that on the average at least two men were
absent from the boat each day.
' It had been agreed that neither the president nor secretary
should row in the race, but on account of so many refusals it
was necessary that Mr. Baxter should row stroke of one of the
crews. The crews rowed in gig boats belonging to Christ
Church and Brasenose.'
The earlier races, with the exception of 1860 (when owing to
floods the race was rowed from Iffley), were rowed on the
THE BOAT RACE AND TRIAL EIGHTS 65
Nuneham course, from the lasher to the island, and after the
race there was a picked crew made up, which was coached by
the president on the return journey, the remaining men bring-
ing the other boat back unattended.
1871. The river being frozen, the race was held at Henley in
a tremendous storm, in which one of the boats was swamped.
1872 was a year of heavy floods, and the race was rowed
in consequence at Pangbourne. Sliding seats had been just
introduced, and the oars not yet lengthened inboard to meet
the change, the consequence being that in the Fours almost all
the men pulled their buttons away from their rowlocks. An
attempt was made to obviate this fault by putting ' barndoor '
rowlocks on the Trial Eights, the only result being that crabs
were plentiful, and coaching from the stern impossible. As the
floods prevented riding on the path, the boats this year had but
little instruction.
1874. The race was rowed at Moulsford.
1876. On account of floods the race was rowed from Henley
Bridge to Hambledon Lock.
1877. In this year and, with one exception, every year since,
the race has been held on the Moulsford course.
1879. ' The Trial Eights could not come off, as the ice blocked
the river. An idea was entertained of trying to row them at
Putney on the tide, but was fortunately abandoned. As a solace
to the feelings of the competitors, a dinner was given to them,
and a new Trial Eights cap was invented.'
1885. This year the old course from Abingdon to Nuneham
was used once more, the Moulsford course being blocked with
ice.

CHAPTER IX
HENLEY AND OTHER FOREIGN RACES
THE first foreign race rowed by any Oxford crew, in fact the
first race noticed by any papers that we have examined, was
one rowed by Christ Church in June, 1828, against a Leander
crew. It is mentioned both in BelFs Life and in the Sporting
Magazine. The former gives but a short account, but in the
latter we have a full description of the race, and of all that
led to it ; wanting only, what to us would be most interesting,
the names of the Christ Church crew. As the race seems to
have been overlooked, we give the account of it in full : —
GRAND ROWING MATCH BETWEEN THE LONDON MEN AND THE OXONIANS.
This match, which was for 200 sovereigns, and which had caused
so much talk among the water amateurs of London and the men of
Oxford, took place on the 27th of last month. The collegians came
down some few days before, for the express purpose of challenging any
eight gentlemen, of the lower part of the River Thames, to row them
a specific distance. It, however, struck them that it would be as well
to make inquiries as to the respective ' pulling qualities ' of the men
who were likely to be picked for the purpose. This having been done,
the result, I should conceive, was rather different to what they had
anticipated, inasmuch as the furor for the contest was reduced to an
aversatio to compete with individuals against whom they found (though
almost too late) they should have no chance. On several occasions
after this, the Londoners threw out hints which could not be mistaken,
but for some time it was ' no go.' At length, one evening, when the
coxswains of the Arrow and Leander, the former a four-oared wherry,
the latter a six-oared cutter (each of London), and the coxswain of the
HENLEY AND OTHER FOREIGN RACES 67
Christ Church (Oxford), were showing their respective boats, some
chaffing took place between them ; the result of which was, that the
next afternoon, when the boats were lying off the Star and Garter,
Putney, a message came from the Christ Church men to Mr. Slater (the
leading member of the Leander), requesting an interview. This was
granted, and a great deal of discussion took place ; in the course of
which Mr. Slater said, that at present the London men had no eight-
oared boat of their own worth anything, but that they had no objection
to row the match the distance proposed, from Westminster Bridge to
Putney, in a boat which had been built by Honey and Archer for
Trinity College, notwithstanding she had been sent back by them, ' not
being worth a damn.' Or, if they were not satisfied with that proposi-
tion, he (Mr. Slater) would pick out six men, four men, or even a pair,
who should pull against them for any sum they pleased to name, so
anxious was he that a match should take place between some of the
parties. It was, however, eventually decided that an eight-oared match
should be rowed on the 27th, and that the Trinity boat should be that
in which the Londoners were to do their best for the honour of the
metropolis.
It must be here remarked that these eight Londoners had never
rowed together before ; and therefore, not having so good a boat as
their opponents, laboured under every disadvantage.
At half-past one o'clock on the 27th, the two boats were at their
respective stations at Westminster Bridge, the Trinity being steered by
John Mitchell, of Strand Lane (the coxswain of the Arrow}, and an
amateur officiating for the Oxonians.
The London men selected on the occasion, though not including what
may be called the whole strength of the amateurs on the river, were
possessed of such power as to render it next to an impossibility that
persons accustomed, as the Oxonians are, to ' short distances,' should
head them. The names were —
Mr. Bayford. Mr. Henessy.
Mr. Bayford, jun. Mr. Howse.
Mr. Bishop. Mr. G. Lewis.
Mr. Cannon. Mr. C. Lewis.
Each party, it seems, just before starting was confident of success,
but the current betting was five and six to four on the Londoners.
The signal gun was no sooner fired than off went the boats. In
a very few strokes the Londoners headed their opponents by No. i
oar (about three feet). This slight advantage being noticed by their
own coxswain, as well as those friends who were near, was hailed as the
omen of victory ; and ' Now, gentlemen, now's your time — keep it on
steadily ' from Mitchell, and the continued cheering from those in other
boats, acted as a stimulant too strong to allow them to relax in their
68 OXFORD ROWING
efforts ; and they consequently continued to gain way until they had
made a boat's length ahead. In addition to the pride a man feels in
honourably vanquishing an opponent, in this instance the honour, as
far as rowing was concerned, of the greatest city in the world was
at stake ; and I am persuaded that not a man was there in the London
boat but what had that sensation or feeling strongly pervading his
breast. Notwithstanding, I think that several, if not the whole, of
the Oxonians were born in, or in the immediate vicinity of the
metropolis ; yet the graduating mania (if I may be allowed the ex-
pression, without intending the least offence) of a certain ancient city
in the county of Oxford was such as to induce the eight ' men ' of Christ
Church to endeavour to wrest from the Londoners those laurels which
have been so long and so triumphantly worn by them without
molestation.
After a hard contest, the match was decided by the Londoners going
through Putney Bridge about seventy yards ahead. There was an
immense mass of spectators, though not so many as there would have
been, had it been generally known that the day in question was the one
selected. The victors were hailed with the most enthusiastic plaudits
of the multitude.
This account, as may be imagined, was considered a very
unfair one by the losers, and led to a good deal of acrimonious
correspondence.
In 1831 a race was rowed at Henley between Oxford and
Leander, a full account of which is given in Mr. W. B. Wood-
gate's Badminton book. It is interesting to find that the
'Trinity' boat, used in 1828, was at first selected for this race,
but rejected eventually for one built by Searle. Leander won
the race by about two boats' lengths.
The next college race with a foreign crew was the famous
one between Queen's College and the Lady Margaret Boat
Club at Henley in 1837. As it was found to be impossible to
arrange an Inter-University race, it was agreed that the head
boats in the Eights at Oxford and Cambridge should row
against each other at Henley. A difficulty, however, arose
through Christ Church, who were head of the Isis, finding
it impossible to get leave to race. They solved the difficulty
by taking off on the last night of the Eights, so that Queen's
represented Oxford in their stead.
HENLEY AND OTHER FOREIGN RACES 69
The race is important for another reason, as it possibly
suggested the idea to the inhabitants of Henley of starting
the regatta, which was first held two years later.
A full account of the race is given in the Oxford Herald,
which we insert : —
GRAND MATCH BETWEEN OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE, JUNE 10, 1837.
This match was decided on Saturday at Henley. The visitors were
equally numerous with those of the contest in 1829. Opinion was
greatly in favour of Cambridge, in consequence of the much talked of
talents of the crew [the St. John's (Lady Margaret)], who were at
the head of the twenty-three eight-oars their competitors, and the
reputed excellence of their boat. Until Friday afternoon the odds were
greatly in favour of Cambridge ; but when the Oxford rowers had been
seen practising at Henley, the betting became even, and in some cases
it was in favour of Oxford.
In our last, we stated that the Christ Church rowers had withdrawn
their boat, which on Monday evening had recovered its long-standing
priority. At the race on Wednesday, Queen's boat became victor ;
which decided that it should compete with the Cambridge boat at
Henley. It is impossible to speak too highly of the excellence of the
crew of Queen's. The names are as follows : —
Bow. Lee. 5- Meyrick.
2. Glazbrook. 6. Todd.
3. Welch. 7- Eversley.
4. Robinson. Str. Penny.
Steersman : Berkeley.
These gentlemen appeared to have been formed for the boat, and the
boat for them. All seemed perfection itself.
They left Oxford at noon on Friday in a barouche, the horses of
which were decorated with ribbons. The boat had previously been sent
to the scene of action. This beautiful vessel was built by Mr. T. King
of this city, on whom it reflects the highest credit. Its excellence has
become the theme of general eulogy ; its superiority has been proved
by repeated trials with several boats sent to Oxford by the very first
London makers, and it is acknowledged by all parties to be the very
best that ever floated on the Isis.
At four on Saturday afternoon the rival vessels left Henley Bridge for
the place of starting, two miles and a half below, hailed by the shouts
of an immense assemblage of spectators. Cambridge won the choice of
70 OXFORD ROWING
sides, and of course took the inner — the most advantageous, as there
is a considerable turn in the river in the first half-mile. On the word
' Off ! ' being given, the start took place, and even during the first ten
strokes it was clearly perceptible to the meanest capacity that Oxford
was gaining on its opponent, although Oxford was pulling a very long
stroke, and Cambridge using the spurting or quick one. In less than
a quarter of a mile from the bridge the stern of the Oxford boat was
level with the bow of the Cambridge, when Mr. Berkeley gave the word.
' Away with her ! ' And immediately on passing the island at the
bottom of the beautiful reach, the Oxford shot ahead at least 100 yards.
From this point they gradually increased the advantage, and won by
about 150 yards with perfect ease, the crew not being in the slightest
degree distressed. The crew of the Cambridge, on the contrary, appeared
in a state of exhaustion, marked by painful anhelation, when they
shipped their oars.
The triumphant crew were immediately hailed by the flag of victory,
which Mr. Randall had brought from Oxford with a most confident
anticipation of the actual result The distance, as we have before
stated, was about two and a half miles ; the time, fourteen minutes. The
dresses of the crew were much admired. Wearing their emblems of
victory, the crew and the Oxford visitors set off on their return home,
and the road presented a most animating (and animated ?) scene, they
being hailed by all who saw them, the inhabitants of every village
appearing to feel a strong interest in the much talked of contest
When the issue became generally known here, it was determined by
the crews of the other Oxford boats to present Queen's with some
testimony of the great pleasure they derived from the victory ; and
Mr. Randall, of the High Street, who had supplied the handsome dresses
of the crew, and the handkerchiefs and rosettes worn by the Oxford
men who were present at the match, was requested to make as splendid
a flag by Tuesday as the time would admit of. This was done, and on
that evening the flag was attached to the stern of the victor boat, amidst
shouts of applause, after which it headed a procession of nearly all the
racing boats, decorated with their various flags, to IfHey and back. On
returning to Christ Church Meadow, the crew of the Queen's boat pulled
in with precisely the same stroke as they had used at Henley. The
crews of the other boats stopped, and standing up, with all their oars
raised, saluted the conquerors with loud cheers, which salutation was
responded to by a very large assemblage of spectators on the banks of
the river, who imagined that it was directed to themselves.
The flag presented to the Queen's crew was in the most tasteful style
of neatness, and does Mr. Randall great credit as the designer of the
decorations. In the centre was the Boar's Head, which our Oxford
readers know is a most appropriate device appertaining to the college.
HENLEY AND OTHER FOREIGN RACES 71
To this in the Queen's book is added, we believe on the
authority of Mr. Randall :—
1 N.B. The flag was never paid for.'
But this is not at any rate entirely accurate, for we find
an entry in the Exeter treasurer's book : ' To Randall's bill
for share in the Queen's flag, Dec. 4, 1837, 155. 6d.' ; and
a similar entry in the Balliol treasurer's book. From the
latter we also find that a subscription was raised for defraying
the Queen's men's expenses, towards which Balliol con-
tributed /6. The flag is still preserved in the college.
We next come to Henley Regatta, which was established
in 1839, the year of the formation of the O. U. B. C. It is
interesting to note that the first act of the newly-formed com-
mittee, after drawing up their own rules, was to consider a
letter from the town of Henley offering the Grand Challenge
Cup for competition, and inviting Oxford crews to race.
Three Oxford crews competed, Brasenose, one of the three,
rowing down from Oxford, and only arriving the day before
the race.
In 1841 a race for Four Oars appears on the programme.
In 1842 the Stewards' Cup was established.
The Oriel crew, who were head, being unable to row at
Henley, requested the Pembroke to take their place, but they
could not.
This year the O. U. B. C. protested against the Cambridge
Rooms strengthening their crew in the final heat of the Grand
Challenge, by drafting in a man from one of the defeated
crews. The stewards overruled the objection, and in conse-
quence the Oxford crew withdrew from the race. This led
to a new rule being made that only .those men whose names
were entered could row in a crew.
The next year, 1843, was the famous ' seven-oared ' race.
Cambridge had withdrawn so that their crew might be used
to strengthen that of the Cambridge Rooms, who, if they
won this year, would become the possessors of the Challenge
Cup. In the final heat the O. U. B. C. and the Cambridge
72 OXFORD ROWING
Rooms were left in, but Fletcher Menzies, stroke of the Oxford
boat, who had been ill for some time but stuck manfully to
his work, fainted as he got into the boat. Finding it quite
impossible that he should row, the crew appealed to be allowed
to put in a substitute, but this the stewards, in face of their
new rule, could not allow. After some discussion, at the
proposition we are told of Mr. Lowndes, the crew determined
to row with seven men, and put G. E. Hughes from ' seven '
to stroke, and brought R. Lowndes from ' bow ' to ' seven.'
The Rooms at first refused to row against an incomplete
crew, but were told that if they did not go to the start the
race would certainly be awarded to Oxford. From this point
Tom Hughes, prince of story-tellers where an athletic feat
is to be described, shall take up the tale. It is to be found
in his Memoirs of a Brother — the stroke in this race.
'I can well remember the indignation and despair with
which the final announcement was received. However, there
was no help for it, and we ran down the bank to the starting
place by the side of our crippled boat, with sad hearts,
cheering them to show our appreciation of their pluck, but
without a spark of hope as to the result. When they turned
to take up their place for the start we turned also, and went
a few hundred yards up the towing-path so as to get start
enough to enable us to keep up with the race. The signal
gun was fired, and we saw the oars flash in the water, and
began trotting up the bank, with our heads turned over our
shoulders. First one and then another cried out that " we are
holding our own," that "the Light Blues are not gaining."
In another minute they were abreast of us, close together,
but the dark blue flag the least bit in front. A third of the
course was over, and we rushed along, and saw the lead
improved foot by foot, almost inch by inch. Hope came back,
and the excitement was running painful. In Smother minute,
as they turned the corner and got into the straight reach,
the crowd became too dense for running. We could not keep
up, and could only follow with our eyes and shouts, as we
HENLEY AND OTHER FOREIGN RACES 73
pressed up towards the bridge. Before we could reach it the
gun fired, and the dark blue flag was run up, showing that
Oxford had won.
'Then followed one of those temporary fits of delirium
which sometimes seize Englishmen, the sight of which makes
us slow to disbelieve any crazy story which is told of the
doings of other people in moments of intense excitement.
The crew had positively to fight their way into the hotel,
and barricade themselves there, to escape being carried round
Henley on our shoulders. The enthusiasm, frustrated in this
direction, burst out in all sorts of follies, of which you may
take this as a specimen. A heavy toll-gate was pulled down,
and thrown over the bridge into the river, by a mob of young
Oxonians, headed by a small, decorous, shy man in spectacles,
who probably never pulled an oar in his life, and had gone
temporarily mad with excitement, and I am confident would,
at that moment, have led his followers not only against the
Henley constables, but against a regiment with fixed bayonets.
Fortunately no harm came of it but a few broken heads and
black eyes, and the local authorities, making allowances for
the provocation, were lenient at the next petty sessions.'
Canon Lowndes, the ' seven ' in this crew, shortly before
his death sent a description of the race, which has been used
in the early part of this account, and added to it this note :
' It has been commonly reported that the crew were much
done up. So far from this being the case, Hughes and I raced
up to the inn where Menzies was lying, and very nearly
killed him by rushing into his room.'
Naturally, many souvenirs of this great race have been
preserved, and some of them have from time to time come
into the possession of the O. U. B. C. Foremost amongst
these is the president's chair, now in the barge, which is
made of a section of the boat cut from about the coxswain's
seat, and was presented to the club by Mr. Randall. The
two ends of the boat are also in Oxford, in the possession
of Lady Stainer, to whom we are indebted for the picture
74 OXFORD ROWING
which we here reproduce. We have also in the barge a model
of one side of the boat, made by George West, a representation
of which forms the heading to this chapter. Besides these
there are three flags which claim connexion with the race.
The first belongs to Lady Stainer, and is a large blue flag
with seven golden oars and a scroll bearing the legend 'Victory '
emblazoned on it. It is too large to be the actual flag used
in the race, but is probably one belonging to the club, and
used at Henley at the time. The additions to the flag were
doubtless made for some state occasion, either the procession
of boats, or, as Tims suggests, for the procession which was
formed when the boat was brought back to Oxford, when
the whole water-side turned out and escorted it into the city
in triumph, headed by a band of music. Another flag has been
kept by Canon Bourne. He says that it was worked by
Miss Menzies, and given to him by her brother, and he believes
that it was the flag which they unfurled after the race was
over. A third flag has just come into the possession of the
O. U. B. C, and as to this there seems but little doubt that
it is the one actually carried in the race. The lady who has
kindly presented it to the club relates how her father-in-law
got possession of it whilst the crew were drinking champagne
out of the Grand Challenge Cup immediately after the race,
and took it home to his mother, who worked on it the names of
the crew, and that the flag has been kept by some member
of the family ever since. It is now carefully preserved, and
added to the other treasures in the club barge.
1844 saw the first race for the Diamond Sculls.
In 1845 tne Ladies' Plate was established, but Oxford
entered no crews for it. The same year was held the first
pair-oared race for the Silver Wherries, afterwards known as
' the Goblets,' and now as the Nickalls' Pairs.
In 1846, as the C. U. B. C. had resolved not to row at
Henley, it was determined to send an Eton and Westminster
crew, and to lend them the new club eight
For several years after 1846. we have had some difficulty

in identifying with accuracy those who rowed in crews from
Oxford, especially those sent up by Christ Church. It appears
that the authorities at 'the House' had a very strong objection
to their men pulling in a public regatta, and so those who
wanted to stay up and take pupils after taking their degree, or
who, from approaching examinations or other reasons, wished
to keep out of ill-odour with the Dons, rowed occasionally
under assumed names. Unfortunately, the corrections of the
slips from Bell's Life in the president's book and the Brasenose
book have been made without full knowledge, and the un-
ravelling of the muddle seemed hopeless, until we were put
into communication with two or three members of the crews
in question, and with their aid were enabled to arrive at
the truth.
1847. After describing the first heat of the Grand Challenge,
won by the O. U.B. C., Bell's Life adds, 'The winners of this
heat thus become the holders of that new and elegant prize,
the Wyfold Challenge Cup, value fifty guineas, presented to
the regatta by G. D. Donkin, Esq., of Wyfold Court.
The Visitors' Cup was started this year.
1854. ' The O. U. B. C., the holders, were entered for the
Stewards' Cup, but, owing to the illness of Mr. Meade King,
could not row, so Pembroke, who were entered only for
the Visitors, supplied their place.' Pembroke won this race,
beating Trinity, Cambridge, but in the Visitors were defeated
by the same crew, the stations being reversed.
1856. The Wyfold Cup, which hitherto had been held by the
winners of the trial heats of the Grand Challenge Cup, was
this year devoted to a new four-oared race.
CHAPTER X
FINANCES
THE finances of the Boat Club are naturally so closely con-
nected with its history, that to give a complete account of them
would be but to repeat all that has been told of the general
history of the club ; at the same time the story of the club would
be incomplete without some account of our funds and of their
expenditure. The original aims of the club were very modest
ones : to have a barge for members, which cost with the
attendant only £12 ios. per term ; to provide a few boats for
practice, and to supply funds for the University race. The first
two of these objects were easily met by very small subscrip-
tions, that for life membership being only £~L ios., and the
entrance fees for Eights and Torpids but £i.
The University race was looked upon as the concern not of
the club, but of Oxford as a whole, a resolution being passed
that all undergraduate members of the University who were
not members of the O. U. B. C. should pay 55. each towards
the expenses of the race. As this money was collected by the
college captains, it may be imagined that much of it was never
paid, and a few j'ears later we find it estimated that only about
half the men in residence thus contributed. In spite of this
the club kept in a solvent condition, the expenses being very
small. Boats, it is true, were expensive, costing from ^70 to
,£75, and watermen were employed as coaches, receiving some
^5 per week ; but the period of training was short, and the
FINANCES 77
stay at Putney short also. On the other hand, we had occa-
sionally two races in the year, at Putney and at Henley.
In 1843 we find college crews paying, in addition to their
entrance fees, £1 to defray the expense of the musicians, and
£2 to the Oxford Aquatic Club in London.
In 1845 we engaged a clerk, and for thirty years the finances
of the club were almost entirely in his hands. It is character-
istic of the happy-go-lucky way our funds were managed that,
up to 1853, we had no banking account, and up to 1869 no items
of receipts were entered in the treasurer's book. The pay-
ments for the term were entered and totalled, and then the
total receipts for the term placed beneath them, and the balance
or the amount ' Due to Grant' was entered.
1846. The price of an eight-oar was £80, and from the Exeter
book we see how this larger charge arose, for we find —

In this and other ways our expenses increased, but they
were met by increased subscriptions, the entry for a racing
boat being, in 1845, £2, and, in 1850, £4.
In 1846 we bought our first barge, at a total cost of .£250.
Up to 1853 the club had kept fairly clear of debt, though
occasionally we find an entry of ' Due to Grant ' ; our clerk at
this time, and subsequently, providing for all overdrawings
of our account.
In 1853 the present barge was begun. The hull was built at
Pangbourne for ^299, and the upper part in Oxford. The total
cost was very little under ^1500. To meet this the barge was
mortgaged for ^800 to three of the officers of the club, whilst at
78 OXFORD ROWING
the same time the floating debt was considerably increased,
and .£50 was advanced by the Christ Church Boat Club. ,£300
was paid off the mortgage by 1858, but without materially
improving our position, as we spent ,£183 the same year in
decorating the barge. At the same time, under Mr. Warre's
influence, an endeavour was made to put our finances on
a better basis, and rules were drawn up dealing with the pre-
sentation of accounts, but no further reduction of the mortgage
was made for several years.
In 1860 we spent ^no for lead for the roof of the barge, and
to meet our growing expenses we raised the life members'
subscription to its present amount.
In 1862 the debt, which had fallen as low as ^600, was
increased by ^485 by the building of the old boat-house in
Isis Street ; and the next year the visit of the Prince and
Princess of Wales involved an expenditure of some ^300, two-
thirds of which, however, was generously paid by one of the
officers.
In 1864 the first river wall was built at a cost of ,£332.
Three years later we had a lawsuit with the Local Board on
the subject of rating the barges, which we won.
In 1866 the lead roof which was put on the barge six years
before was removed, the charge for this being ^192, and two
years later the barge cost another ^400 for repairs and painting.
This led to a strong protest from Mr. E. G. Banks, of Worcester,
who issued a pamphlet on the general management of the club,
criticizing especially its finances. In consequence of this,
a committee was appointed to deal with the matter, Mr. Banks
was appointed treasurer, and the old mortgage was paid off
with money borrowed from the Old Bank. There was a clause
in the mortgage that the interest was to be paid on the whole
amount until the last instalment was repaid. In consequence
of this, we had been paying 8 per cent, for our loan for
some years, but the arrangement was not so iniquitous as it
seems, since the mortgage had passed into the hands of our
clerk, who had financed us during the whole time, our actual
FINANCES 79
debt averaging about ^1000, which reduced his interest to
a modest 4 per cent.
Many economies were introduced by Mr. Banks, who put
the club into so good a condition financially, that he was able to
reduce the debt by about one-half during his time of office,
whilst his successor, continuing his policy, made further reduc-
tions, and the writer had the pleasure in 1875 of clearing off the
remainder of the debt. Thus in six years the debt which so
long had hung upon the club was cleared off entirely, and at
the same time, in 1872, the river wall was continued as far
as Saunders' Bridge at a cost of nearly .£200, some of which,
however, was met by subscriptions.
Meanwhile, a scheme had been started for deepening the
river to an average of six feet, and raising the towing-path from
Folly Bridge to the Long Bridges, and cutting off the Gut
corners. The original estimate for this work was roughly
.£1500, but as working estimates were obtained the amount
gradually rose to ,£3800. It was then determined only to raise
the towing-path, for which the estimate was ,£1600. Half-
hearted attempts were made to raise this fund, but only ^500
in all was subscribed, of which ,£150 came from one college.
Finally, a captains' meeting determined, in spite of the opposi-
tion of the committee, to borrow the whole amount, a decision
which was rescinded at the next meeting, and the plan was
ultimately abandoned.
In 1876 Mr. Grant died, and the committee determined to do
without a clerk for the future, ' for to tell the truth, he had
become too much of a dictator.' The first printed statement of
accounts was issued this year in October. Up to this time
a statement had been read at the beginning of each term, but
the proceeding was eminently unsatisfactory, and the club
exercised no real control over the expenditure.
1878 saw the appointment of the first permanent treasurer,
Mr. W. L. Courtney, a natural corollary to the abolition of the
clerk. Repairs to the wall cost some ,£45, and ,£40 the next
year.
8o OXFORD ROWING
In 1880 the new boat-house was begun, Mr. G. Oldrid Scott
supplying the plans. The cost was ,£3230; .£2300 was raised
by loans, whilst the balance of the club, accumulated since 1877,
supplied ,£744, and the bathing-place account .£100. In June,
1881, the boat-house was burnt, together with all the boats
stored in it. A subscription was immediately raised, and the
amount divided amongst the various clubs that suffered in the
disaster. The fittings and architect's fees were paid for later.
In the next nine years we spent .£208 on the towing-path,
and ,£380 on the barge, whilst we sold the old boat-house for
,£300, the fixtures at the bathing-place for ,£50, and received
.£128 from the dispersed Commemoration Ball fund.
In 1890 the debt on boat-house was reduced to .£1300, and there
were other outstanding debts bringing up the total to ,£1572.
This year the rules drawn up by Mr. Warre, in 1858, with
regard to the presentment of accounts were re-enacted, and the
first yearly summary of accounts published, in the hope, as
the treasurer writes in his book, ' that it will make the captains'
meeting look a little more closely into our expenditure, and
take a little interest in our finance.' However, the hope proved
a vain one, for the next captains' meeting 'was mute and
apathetic as usual. Finding them quite hopeless as checks on
expenditure, I persuaded them to make a change in the rules,
appointing two senior men as auditors, in place of two members
of the committee. These, with the treasurer, will form, I hope,
a financial committee, and keep matters straight for the future.'
1891. The painting of the barge, which on account of its cost
had been constantly postponed from year to year, to the detri-
ment of the woodwork, was this year arranged on a simpler
plan, which, if not so decorative, has the merit of allowing the
paint to be renewed at regular intervals of three years.
1892. A sum of ,£169 was spent on raising and rebuilding the
river wall, which now is higher than any but the greatest floods.
In 1893 the barge cost .£164 for repairs, the ' rounds ' through-
out having become mere touchwood, so that the bottom was
only held together by the newer outside 'lining.'
FINANCES 81
The workman who was employed, after the repairs, to
replace our boiler and fireplace, finding that the floor had been
raised, and the pipes would no longer fit, to save himself
the trouble of making fresh junctions left out the hearthstone,
and put the fireplace on an iron plate on the woodwork. The
consequence was the barge caught fire, but fortunately the two
Trial Eights arrived just as this was discovered. They went
to work with willing vigour, and did much more damage than
the fire, but they saved the barge.
This year the first meeting of the senior treasurers was
held, of which we take the following account from the
treasurer's book : — 'The system of amalgamated college funds
managed by senior men has been gradually growing up in
Oxford, and is now almost universal. Naturally these treasurers
wish to have some control over the expenditure of the Univer-
sity clubs to which they contribute, but hitherto have been
able to do nothing but criticize our expenditure, often with
little or no knowledge of the facts, in the Magazine and other
papers. To meet this desire, and to give the treasurers the
opportunity of making suggestions and of learning facts, the
three treasurers of the University clubs have arranged an
annual meeting of such officers, to be held in the Lent
Term.'
1895 was the year of the great frost. The time for the
Torpids drew near, but the river was a sheet of solid ice,
so that a four-in-hand was seen on the Isis in place of the
usual boats. A proposal was made to put off the date of
the Torpids, but meanwhile it was impossible to coach the
men, and the crews were rapidly being broken up by
influenza. Still the committee clung to the idea of rowing
the Torpids eventually, as our whole income for the year
depended upon the races being held. As the day for the
meeting drew nearer the prospects grew more dismal, and
at last the treasurer, the only member of the committee
then in Oxford, issued a notice suggesting that the Torpids
should be given up, but that the entries of boats, and the
G
82 OXFORD ROWING
individual subscriptions, should be paid just as though the
races were held. It says much for the patriotism of mem-
bers that these proposals were carried at a meeting at which
not a single member of the committee was present, the
Eight being at Bourne End, and the author of the proposal
being himself a victim to the prevailing epidemic. The extra
expenses directly entailed by the great frost on the club were
°ver ^50, whilst we lost quite as large a sum by the return of
life membership subscriptions to those men who never rowed
in any later race.
The Boat Club is now almost clear of debt, and with a lease
of the boat-house for several years at merely a ground rent,
it should be able, whilst relieving the various boat clubs of
some of their contributions, to lay by a dilapidation fund
to meet the repairs which, sooner or later, must be required
for both barge and boat-house.
We cannot close this account of our finances without saying
a word on the dangers which we believe threaten, not merely
boating, but every form of amateur sport at the present time.
The dangers may be summed up in one word— Professionalism.
We said in a former chapter that the early boating men were
unconsciously starting a movement which was to revolutionize
sport : they did this by abolishing the money wager, which
up to this time had been inseparably connected with the idea
of sport in all its branches.
We know that the sole reason why the Boat Race has such
a hold on the popular mind is, that it is the one great sporting
event of the year, within easy reach of London, into which
the money consideration cannot possibly enter. The public
know that it will be rowed 'square,' because the crews row
for honour and glory, and for that alone. It is the same here
with the Eights and Torpids ; we have two hundred or two
hundred and fifty men toiling and sacrificing themselves in
various ways, from sheer delight in the battle, out of devotion
to the honour of their colleges, and with no prospect, except
in the case of the head of the river, of even so much as a medal
FINANCES 83
to show as the result of their toil. It is just in this that the
whole value of the sport lies, and the wholesomeness of it.
So far boating has managed to keep itself clear of the pro-
fessional taint. Oxford and Cambridge men, past and present,
largely control the amateur boating world, and we are keeping
the quasi-amateur at arm's length. We are doing this drastic-
ally, we admit, and in doing it we have inflicted considerable
hardship on local regattas and local clubs, but our instinct is
right — it is the instinct of self-preservation. In almost every
branch of sport where it is allowed to exist, either openly or
covertly, the professional tail is wagging the amateur head,
and there are not wanting signs to show that where this
is the case, the spirit of sport, such as we have created,
must die.
It is in the Universities this spirit grew up, and it is the
Universities who must keep it alive, if we would stave off the
inevitable reaction which must come, sooner or later, against
the modern worship of Athleticism. When that reaction
comes, it should be for us to moderate its form, and see that
in sweeping away what is evil it does not destroy too the
enormous good with which athletics are associated. In
America they have the paid gentleman-coach, and here in
England gates and gate-money enter far too largely into the
considerations of sport. These are the directions in which
our danger lies just now, and we hope that as the boating
men of old got rid of the monetary taint from sport, so their
successors will go on setting their faces firmly against the
same danger in its latter-day form.
One more source of danger, and one which if not faced may
speedily bring about the reaction we wish to avoid, is the ever-
increasing expense of all forms of athletics. To some extent
this is inevitable. We must, if we would not give away an
advantage to our opponents, have the best of everything that
contributes to the efficiency of a crew, and that best costs ever
more and more, as improvements are made, and methods in
training and practice adopted, which were undreamt of by past
G 2
84 OXFORD ROWING
generations of boating men. But, just because our expenses
tend to increase, it behoves us to look well to them, and see
that we do not make unreasonable demands on the contributing
clubs.
They treat us most generously — witness the way they came
to our rescue in the frost of ' ninety-five ' — but for that very
reason we ought to make no greater demands on them than
are absolutely necessary. We are sure that the most certain
way to get their cordial support is to make them feel that their
interests and ours are one ; and it will be an evil day for
the great University clubs if the average man — on whom
after all we depend for our funds — begins to look upon vis
with suspicion or distrust.

CHAPTER XI
MISCELLANEOUS
IN this chapter we have brought together facts which, as
a rule, have not been mentioned before, but which are neces-
sary to complete the picture of Oxford boating.
Flags and Uniforms.
In the earliest days there seem to have been no dis-
tinguishing uniforms, and, as we have seen, the crews rowed
in their high hats. Christ Church, as early as 1819, adopted
the Tarn o' Shanter, a blue bonnet with checkered band. This
form of headgear seems to have been soon used by several
other crews, and lasted on until as late as 1847, when Jesus
wore a green one with a white band ; Balliol a blue one with
red, green, and white band ; and New College a blue one with
a white band with thin red stripes,
t
86 OXFORD ROWING
We have one or two crews wearing this cap in a series of
plates issued about 1840, one of which we here reproduce.
By 1829 uniforms had become general, and we read in the
Records of the University Boat Race that, there being some
ten or a dozen college boats with different uniforms, the
Oxford crew found it difficult to hit on anything new, so
modified the Christ Church ribbon by using a broader stripe.
The hats of this first crew were of black straw with a broad
blue ribbon. Thus the colours for the first University race
were in each case chosen out of compliment to the head boat
on the river ; Oxford rowing in blue and white striped jerseys,
and Cambridge wearing pink ties, and, as Jackson's Oxford
Journal adds, pink waistbands.
In 1836 Oxford had blue handkerchiefs, these being of silk,
and worn at that time instead of the present comforter.
Mr. Davie tells us that in 1837 Exeter colours were black
and red in zigzags. They wore red braces which were slipped
off before a race and carefully festooned by the man behind.
The Queen's College ribbon is said to have been originally
white until the 1837 race ; the University to mark their victory
gave them the two bands of blue.
The flags in 1839 differed considerably in many cases from
those now used. Trinity was black, white, and red, but next
year buff and blue ; Brasenose had a red cross on an orange
ground ; Corpus Christi was red ; New College red and white
stripes ; Worcester a white flag with red cross and the college
arms in the centre.
Colours seem to have been much worn at this time, and to
have been freely presented by grateful boat clubs to their
supporters. Thus in 1843, for Henley, we have a bill for
fifty-eight rosettes, £8 145. ; and thirty-six boat ribbons, silver
and blue, £6 6s. ; the total bill for two years being £22 us.
About this time the headgear varied considerably. The
O. U. B. C. has a set of coloured prints of Eights, dating about
the early forties, in which the figures are all the same, the
only difference being in the colouring, and in the attire of
MISCELLANEOUS 87
the rowers. Some crews, as we have seen, wore Tarn o'
Shanters ; in another they are in straw hats ; and in a third,
a Brasenose crew, we probably see an early stage of the
evolution of the boating cap, with a very exaggerated peak.
The coxswain, as a rule, still retains the high hat, and is
dressed in the ordinary attire of the period.
Broad scarves were worn by some crews, passing alternatery
from right shoulder to left hip, or left shoulder to right hip,
according to the side on which the men rowed. These were
retained by Brasenose for the Procession of Boats until that
function was discontinued.
In 1846 Pembroke adopted their present flag; Brasenose
had a yellow one with the college arms in the centre ;
Magdalen Hall had white and blue at cross corners, whilst
Jesus had a similar arrangement of white and green ; Mag-
dalen had a plain red flag, and St. Mary Hall a white one ;
Worcester a white one with large red cross.
The plate in the barge gives the flags, jerseys, and hand-
kerchiefs for the next year for all colleges. The Balliol jersey
had thin vertical red and white stripes ; Merton had a white
jersey with thin blue and red stripes alternately ; Worcester
white with thin red stripes at long intervals. The handker-
chiefs are all interesting, the strangest being New College,
which was black, and Magdalen, blue with white spots. Most
crews at this time wore the straw hat.
The first O. U. B. C. flag had the legend, 'Oxford University
Boat Club, 1839,' on it. In later years there was merely
a large O. U. B. C., until the longer title, without the date,
was readopted.
As a uniform the club has never had anything but the
button, which for some reason (possibly because pea-coats
went out of use) was dropped and forgotten, until Tims
routed one out from some old treasures belonging to his
brother, and adopted it for himself. In 1885 it was taken as
the button for the coats of the crew.
About 1861 a fashion came in of increasing the breadth of
88 OXFORD ROWING
the ribbon of the various college Eights, and in consequence
some of them became indistinguishable at a distance from
that of the University crew. A request was accordingly sent
round this year to the offending colleges that 'gentlemen
should not wear the dress of the University Eight.' When
this was brought before a meeting of a certain boat club,
a resolution was brought forward 'that the University Eight
be requested to change its ribbon,' and was lost only by the
casting vote of the captain, who thought ' it would make the
college appear ridiculous in the eyes of the whole University,'
an opinion in which the secretary of the club expresses his
entire agreement.
In 1867 Worcester changed the white boating coat they
had hitherto worn for a black one. Keble, after a few ex-
periments, settled down to their colours soon after their first
appearance in 1871. Hertford, on changing their name and
status, dropped the old black and blue of Magdalen Hall,
and appeared under their present colours in 1876; whilst the
present New College coat was adopted in 1878.
The River Side and Barges.
The river, in the early days of boating, presented a very
different appearance to that to which we are now accustomed.
The Meadow then had no wall, and of course no railings,
nor were there any barges such as now line its bank. Possibly
in the corner near Folly Bridge there may have been some
one who let boats ; at any rate, on the spit of land between
the lock and the main stream there stood the same buildings
which are now occupied by Messrs. Salter, and which then
were known as the Boat House Tavern, whence boats seem
already to have been let.
In 1815 we hear of the boatmen from near Folly Bridge
going to the rescue of a man robbed by footpads in Christ
Church Meadow, and in 1820 Mrs. Hall's boat-house is men-
tioned as a station of the Royal Humane Society.
MISCELLANEOUS 89
About 1815 the barge now used by Messrs. Salter for their
boat-letting business seems to have been built. The hull,
Tims tells us, was originally a timber barge, and the ' house '
was now put on to it. It used to be moored in its present
position during the summer, and was taken up to the wharf
near Folly Bridge for the winter. In this barge, and in one
of the larger rooms at Hall's, the boating men used all to
change up to the time of the formation of the O. U. B. C. and
the gradual introduction of college barges. Magdalen was
the last to make use of Salter's Barge, using a little room
on the Meadow side as dressing-room up to 1873. Hall's
was used by various colleges much later than this. We
can remember Wadham, Lincoln, Corpus, Magdalen Hall,
St. Mary Hall, and Keble all having rooms there compara-
tively recently.
In these early days the sailing-boats, of which there were
a great number, were kept near Folly Bridge on the Meadow
side, but as barges multiplied they gradually retreated further
down the river. At one time they were where the Exeter
Barge now is, a bit later in the place of the Queen's Barge
at the mouth of the Cherwell, and later still, about 1870, on
the other side of the Cherwell, after which they most of them
were removed to the upper river, being taken there for sailing
on Port Meadow during the great floods about 1875, and
never returning. The early sailing-boats were big craft, carry-
ing a ton of ballast. We reproduce a picture of them from
the University Almanack of 1854. In later days they dis-
appeared and were replaced by centreboards.
In 1821 we have a notice in the Oxford Herald of a sluice
bridge at the junction of the Isis and Cherwell, but we can
find no confirmation of this in old maps or elsewhere.
There was no ' New Walk ' in these days, and the path to
the river ran along the extreme western side of the Meadow,
alongside a filthy ditch, generally known as Pactolus, as it
was black with half the sewage of Oxford. In the cholera
year, 1832, this ditch was a source of infection to the sur-
90 OXFORD ROWING
rounding neighbourhood, and Christ Church built a wall, at
great expense, to at any rate shut out the sight of it from
the Meadow.
We give an amusing story belonging to this period in
Mr. Pycroft's Memories, which we give with some reserve, as
the author dearly likes a bit of gossip, especially if it was at
the expense of a boating man, but the story is correct as far
as the condition of the lock is concerned, and it is for this
chiefly that we introduce it. The locks at Iffley and Sandford
were built only for the barge traffic, and were of wood with
large beams running along the sides. One day the Jesus
boat was going through Iffley Lock and the bows caught
under one of these beams. The crew, finding her sinking,
and regardless of the fact that the water was rising, all went
to the other end, and the combined pressure of cr.ew at
the stern and the beam at the bow was too much for the
boat, which ' opened out like a flat red herring, every plank
in her broken or strained.' In these earlier days the barge-
men were a constant difficulty, the barges being very numerous,
and stopping for no one.
Another difficulty arose from the punters. It must be re-
membered that there were as yet no college barges, and so of
course no men to take charge of them and act as punters to
the various colleges. The consequence was that their place
was taken by men under no control, who brought punts down
and plied for hire between the Meadow and the towing-path.
It was a profitable business, and sometimes men would
attempt to make money by it whose only qualification for
the work was that they had been able to borrow or hire
a punt, the result being accidents and subsequent rows.
A story was told us some years ago, which we should not
have ventured to reproduce, had not a note in the Oxford
Herald proved that it is true in all essential points, and gives
a trustworthy picture of the times. A bump had taken place
high up in the Eights, and a bargee who was plying with
a punt thought he saw an opportunity of slipping across in
PUNTER'S BADGE, WITH NOTICE
face page
MISCELLANEOUS 91
the gap in the boats so made. He was not, however, quick
enough, and was run into by the Balliol Eight. When the
crash came, the man knew what would follow, and fled,
closely pursued by the stroke of the damaged boat. They
dodged each other through the crowd, and presently the pur-
suer found himself in turn pursued by a pro-proctor. At last
the bargee reached the door of the cabin of his own boat, into
which he dived and disappeared. Stroke was springing in
after him, when at the entrance to the cabin he was stopped
by a stout Irishwoman with a fine child on each arm, who
exclaimed, ' Sure ye will not murther the father of twins ! '
Meanwhile the proctor arrived on the scene, and bloodshed
was prevented.
In 1842, at the Procession of Boats, we read, ' a bargeman,
who drove his horse along the towing-path at a rapid rate, and
was the means of upsetting several persons, was very properly
ducked and soundly thrashed by some members of the Univer-
sity, who did not mind soaking themselves to effectually
accomplish their purpose.'
At length, in 1843, after the Christ Church boat had been
smashed, and several other accidents had happened, the
O. U. B. C. took up the question of punters, and determined to
bring them all under their own control. To effect this they
first of all approached the authorities at Christ Church, asking
them to prevent unauthorized punters from landing people on
the Meadow. On their refusing to act in the matter, they
issued badges, and sent round notices asking all members of
the University to employ only the men so authorized to punt.
The badge, of which we give a photograph, was one issued to
George West. It has lately come into our possession, and is
now mounted, with the first notice issued respecting it, in the
barge. This notice is quite a small one, and does not seem to
have been conspicuous enough to effect its purpose, for we find
it repeated for several years afterwards on large sheets and in
more urgent terms.
The plan was naturally strongly opposed by the unlicensed
92 OXFORD ROWING
punters, who, amongst other attempts to evade it, started forged
badges ; but after a time it proved a success.
The punter-bargemen, however, finding themselves thus
superseded, were not happy, and showed their dislike to the
change by drawing up their barges along the shore, and
attempting to shut out all punters whatever. The club met
this in 1851 by buying a raft, and mooring it on the Oxford-
shire shore, thus securing for themselves a position where
the boats could always land their passengers.
Up to 1839 there were no college barges such as we have
now. There was King's Barge, and one, or possibly two,
belonging to boat-letters, above it. In 1839 the Boat Club hired
a barge from a man named Heather, who kept the lock at
Folly Bridge, and their example was soon followed by some of
the colleges. These early barges, however, as a rule were
owned by King or Hall, and hired not by the boat clubs but by
a barge club, so that the rowing men only used them on suffer-
ance, and in some cases paid a rent for the use of them to the
barge club, the barges being used for dinners and social functions.
A relic of this merely social side of the barges existed as late
as 1889 in the Bullingdon or, as it was later on, the Loders'
Barge. This stood where the St. John's Barge now is, and was
used only during the Eights week by the club to dine in ; during
the rest of the year Salter used it as a store-room for oars and
cushions. It is now used by Lincoln College.
In Balliol, at one time, we find the boat club subscribing
,£15, and the cricket club ,£25, annually, to the barge, whilst
the barge club at Queen's in 1868 raised the rent claimed from
the boat club from £\§ to £20.
The original barge was given up by the O. U. B. C. in 1846,
and was used for many years by Brasenose. The Boat Club
bought one of the City barges, formerly used in the Lord
Mayor's show, from the Merchant Taylors' Company for .£125,
and soon others of the Companies' barges found their way to
Oxford, Balliol buying one from the Skinners' Company in
1859, and Exeter hiring another from Hall.
MISCELLANEOUS 93
In 1854 our present barge was finished, and the Merchant
Taylors' barge passed on to University College.
Exeter at one time seems to have been saddled with two
barges, for in 1869 an amalgamation of the red and the green
barge was proposed, ' but a certain obnoxious individual, with
a still more obnoxious son, both being known by the name of
Hall, refused to bestow a single thought on any question or
movement which might bring any convenience or advantage to
any other mortal, and least of all to an undergraduate.' How-
ever, in 1873, we have the entry : ' In the fulness of time Provi-
dence removed the Hall of our ancestors, and Salter became
possessed of both barges.' A committee was formed repre-
senting the barge, the boat club, and the college. ' University
have taken the red barge and St. John's the green one.'
In 1857 the colleges with barges were — Christ Church,
University, Exeter, Queen's, Oriel, and Brasenose. Later on
a barge above Salter's was shared by four colleges. It was
partitioned off into four small changing rooms, the only way
into which was through the windows. The colleges were— New,
Pembroke, St. John's, and Jesus, Pembroke afterwards leaving,
and their place being taken by Merton. Our illustration shows
the labels over the windows, on which the names of the colleges
were printed. The same barge is still used by Merton.
Up to 1864 the other side of the river had been a simple
towing-path, such as we might find now in any of the more
rural portions of the Thames. The bridges were the ordinary
wooden bridges of the towing-path, with a gate at one or at both
ends of them, and each fence was brought out to the river by
a gate. Altogether there were a dozen of these obstructions
between Folly Bridge and Iffley. This year the first river wall
was built. It extended as far as the barges then went, to the
mouth of the Cherwell. Unfortunately the tenant of the adjoin-
ing land was afraid that the flood-water would not be able to
escape unless we kept down the level of the path. He bar-
gained, therefore, that it should be kept below the level of the
field, in consequence of which it was one of the first parts of
94 OXFORD ROWING
the path to be submerged in flood time. The wall was con-
tinued to its present length in 1872.
In 1867 the railings were put up round the Meadow, and
a rent imposed for the gates.
In 1868, we read, ' Mr. Darbishire purchased a watchman's
rattle for use with the Torpids.' Up to this time coaches on the
bank had trusted to the power of their lungs, the signal for
a rush being given by the coxswain with a dog-whistle. Horns
and pistols were a still later introduction.
1871. Worcester moved to the small barge behind Queen's,
promising to pay the woman to whom it belonged an annuity
till her death, when the barge would become their property.
The bargain seemed a good one, as the good lady was old ; but
annuitants are proverbially long-lived, and the payment has
only just terminated. About this time Pembroke crossed the
Cherwell, iollowed by Magdalen in 1873, and by Hertford in
1877. New College Barge was built in 1879, and the same year
Corpus Christi gave up their room' at Hall's and took the old
University College Barge. Queen's College, which since about
1860 had one of the City barges, built a new barge in 1872.
In 1872 the New Walk to the barges, which had been in use
for some time previously, was formally opened, before the
Procession of Boats. The crews assembled at the Deanery,
and then, with a band at their head, marched down in order to the
river, each Eight preceded by its coxswain bearing the flag, and
followed by its Torpid. Unfortunately but short notice had
been given to the rowing men, so that most colleges sent but
few to represent them, whilst the town had got wind of the
proposed ceremony, and effectually broke up the procession by
crowding in upon it. Originally there was a poplar tree
between each of the elms, but when these had performed their
function of drawing up their more slow-growing neighbours
they were cut down. On the formation of this new path the
old one by Pactolus was finally closed.
The boat-house was built in 1880, during the presidency of
Mr. G. D. Rowe, and treasurership of Mr. W. L. Courtney. As
MISCELLANEOUS 95
we have told before, it was burnt almost immediately and
re-built the next year.
In 1887 the present Magdalen Barge was built, and Wadham
took possession of their old one.
The latest addition to the barges is that of Keble, built in 1899.
Like the Balliol and Trinity barges, built just before it, it is
to be commended for retaining the model of the old-fashioned
barge, and rejecting that of the more modern house-boat.
The bridge across the Cherwell was not built until 1884,
though a temporary bridge had for many years been erected
at the same point during the Eights week. The path on the
further side and the wall with its railings were made two
years later. The New Cut also was made in 1884, and for
some years the Boat Club threw a bridge across it during the
Eights. This was used, however, so largely by nursemaids
and children, who came not to see the races, but to wander
all over the field picking flowers, and ran us up tremendous
bills for damage to grass, and by people who crowded the
whole bank and prevented the coaches from getting at their
crews, that we were obliged to give it up.
The Long Bridges were rebuilt in 1885, and the next year saw
the end of Folly Bridge Lock. This, from the picture of 1817,
seems originally to have been only a weir, but at some time
between that date and 1830 it had an ordinary lock gate placed
at the lower end, the weir paddles being unaltered, and these
took so long to manipulate that boats hardly ever went up
above the bridge.
Boats.
The old eights were, as we have said, very roomy boats.
When they went out of use, some of them were altered by
King into six-oars, the two stern rowlocks being removed to
make room for seats for passengers. Thus altered they would
carry some twenty people. We reproduce a photograph of one
of these boats belonging to Tims. Its date may be roughly
guessed when it is known that he is the youngster in the bows
96 OXFORD ROWING
of the barge. It will be seen that at this time there were no
railings, and no plank from the land to the barge, a punt being
used instead. The small raft to the left is the only one from
which the boats started. It was probably this want of raft
accommodation that caused the gang-planks to be so long used
both in fours and eights.
It is probable that all our pictures of early eights represent
them as too high out of the water. It is recorded that this
is so with the Exeter White Boat, and that the artist drew
her when the crew was out of her, and afterwards painted
the men in. A comparison of the lines of the 1843 boat, facing
page 74, and the model of it made by George West, which
heads Chapter IX, with the pictures of boats of that period,
such as the one on page 85, certainly would suggest that
the pictures make them too 'tubby.' This agrees too with
our remembrance of the last tub eight on the Oxford water,
one belonging to Corpus, which was brought out every year
at the Procession of Boats up to about 1870, and which we
remember as much more like a tub four of the period writ
large, than the ships1 boats which our pictures suggest.
This boat was used for the Torpid as late as Michaelmas
Term, 1869, probably the last time that one of this class of boat
was ever used by a crew. The entry in the college book
relates how, the Torpid being very unsteady in the gig boat,
' an old tub eight of ten years back, said to be the original
Pelican, was resuscitated and taken into regular use. Nothing
could exceed the equilibrium of this seasoned vessel, and the
crew at once began to improve rapidly.'
Fortunately, we have a very good series of pictures of these
early boats, ranging from the 1817, through the Exeter White
Boat, up to the Exeter boat of 1847, which they used after
rowing the previous year in an outrigger, declaring, though
they made three bumps in it, that the new craft was an utter
failure.
The boats were painted both inside and out in the college
colours, and in many cases they had the arms of the college
MISCELLANEOUS 97
emblazoned on their rudders. We have two sets of prints,
made somewhere about 1835 and l836- 1° eacn set tne scene
is identically the same in all the pictures, the only things that
differ being the uniforms of the men and the colours of the boats.
Evidently an uncoloured print was kept in stock, and the colour-
ing and hats adapted to the crew which ordered the picture.
The early outriggers were all clinker-built, and, as the
Rev. T. J. Prout informs us, were first made with outriggers
to fold into the boat, for convenience in packing. Soon after
they were introduced we have mention of a boat 'with one
streak,' but they continued to be all built with keels until 1856.
We have a series of pictures of these early outriggers, very
inferior artistically to those of the older boats, and not to be
trusted as a record of how things actually appeared at this
date, as Tims tells us that the big house-boat which, according
to the picture, quite hides the University Barge was never there
in term time, and in some copies we find the O. U. B. C. flag,
and in others some college flag, flying behind it. Still they
are interesting, as the only pictures we have of the boat of this
period. It will be seen that it was still painted both inside
and out, and it may be noticed that the string of flags marking
the order of the boats is not yet removed from King's Barge.
The first of the modern type of keel-less boats was the
Mat Taylor, belonging to Exeter, of which we give a picture
opposite page 27.
Inrigged tub fours and tub pairs were used for practice
up to 1868, when the half-outrigged boats began to take their
place. The pairs, one of which will be seen in the foreground
of the illustration facing page 41, were often without straps,
and the stretchers of both boats were almost perpendicular.
The sloping stretchers, such as we are now accustomed to,
came in soon after the introduction of sliding seats ; until they
were thought of, the strain on the muscles of the lower leg,
as one brought the slide up, was very severe.
The early slides had bone runners on brass. These soon
stuck, especially in wet weather, and so were plentifully oiled
H
98 OXFORD ROWING
every journey. As there was no protection, the oil was taken
up at every stroke by the trousers, and in the early days of
sliding seats the rowing men used to go about with a broad
stripe of a greenish-black mixture of oil and dirt and verdigris
down the back of each leg. After a time glass rods were intro-
duced for the bone to run on. They were much cleaner and
were sunk in grooves, but they were very apt to break, so
polished gas-pipes, called by courtesy ' steel rods,' were used
instead. These remained in use until the present system of
wheels and vulcanite runners was introduced in 1885. This by
no means exhausts the list of experiments tried, with regard
to the materials used for the slides, but only gives those which
found general acceptance for a time. Until sliding seats came
in, men all wore trousers, but in later days it was the fashion
always to roll them up to just below the knee when rowing.
With the slides, ' shorts ' soon began to be adopted. A strange
fashion of this time was one of wearing the cap always peak
behind when rowing.
The early boats all had names, which as a rule changed with
each new boat. After a time the practice of naming boats died
out, though a few colleges adopted some name which was
retained by all their boats. Amongst these we have the Childe
of Hayle of Brasenose, the St. John of Malta of Wadham,
the John Cross of University. Amongst badges carried by
boats there is the nose at the bows of Brasenose, the red rose
carried by Pembroke, and the less well-known Lincoln Imp,
which that college got from their cathedral, and of which
we give a picture in the tail-piece to this chapter.
The Procession of Boats.
This ceremony, which dates from the very early days of
Oxford rowing, was one of the most picturesque features
of Commemoration week.
The barges were decked with flags, as on race nights, and
all the Eights and Torpids, and in the earlier days the Fours
also, were ornamented, each one with a large flag fixed behind
00

MISCELLANEOUS 99
the coxswain's seat, whilst the crews all wore their hats and
college boating coats.
The official programme was that they should row down to
Iffley, start in their order of Eights and Torpids, by the usual
signal guns, and row up to the University Barge. Here the
head of the river was moored, and each boat as it passed
it saluted by tossing its oars, the salute being returned by
the head boat. The crews then rowed on to Folly Bridge,
passing through one arch, turning, and passing back through
the other, when they rowed down to the Gut, and then returned
to their barges.
It may be imagined that the effect of some forty or fifty
boats, all with their flags and blazers, on the water at once,
was very striking. As long as every one stayed up for Com-
memoration the Procession retained its meaning ; every year
a few men had to be drafted into the Torpids to fill the places
of those who rowed in both the Eights and Torpids, but as
a rule the gaps were filled by men who could row, and the
performance was, at any rate, a seemly one. As soon, however,
as men were allowed to go down when their Schools were
over, this was changed, and the Procession tended more and
more to become a meaningless bear-fight. The rowing men
for the most part were down, and their places in the boats
were filled by any one who could hold an oar, or sometimes
not filled at all, a boat coming up with perhaps a stroke, a bow,
and a coxswain. Many of the boats were overturned, or their
crews jumped out without even the pretence of an upset. Most
of the boating men had long looked askance at this performance,
as a trifling with serious things, but with the conservatism
of boating matters it went on for over twenty years after it
ceased to have much meaning. At last a proposition was made
at a captains' meeting to mend the Procession by moving it
to the end of the Eights week, but this did not find favour with
the boating men, and an amendment was unanimously adopted
that it should be abolished.
It is a pity that so old and so picturesque a ceremony should
H 2
TOO OXFORD ROWING
have disappeared, but its continuance at Commemoration had
long been meaningless, and as the boating men were not
prepared to row earlier on the last night of the Eights, that
it might be held after them, or to hold it on the next night,
it was better for the credit of our rowing that it should be
dropped.
Dons and the River.
But little now remains to be recorded. The club and the
college boat clubs, up to about 1878, were managed entirely
by undergraduates. Sometimes one or two senior men would
row. We find one of the first recorded names, that of H. B.
Bulteel, occurring as that of the stroke of Brasenose in 1822,
and two years later as stroke of Exeter, to which college he
had migrated as a fellow, each time rowing head of the river.
Somewhat later we find two fellows of colleges rowing in
the 1836 boat against Cambridge, and Mr. Davie tells us that
in 1834 Mr. G. F. Thomas of Worcester rowed in his college
Eight when he was pro-proctor, thus early anticipating the
achievement of Mr. G. C. Bourne in the race for the Grand
Challenge in 1895.
The present head of one of our colleges, when dean,
came to the rescue of his boat and rowed for his college in
an emergency, as did the Rev. T. H. T. Hopkins of Magdalen,
at a time when the Eight had an unbroken record, having
never been bumped, and were in danger of losing it. Doubtless
there are other instances of a similar kind ; but besides these
we find the names of senior men, in the early days, turning
up from time to time in their college crews some seven years
after they first appear. The reason for this is that all men had,
up to 1868, to come up to keep a ' Master's Term ' before
proceeding to their M.A. degree, and naturally old rowing
men made it convenient to do this when there was a chance
of indulging in their favourite pursuit.
In the early days, when the coxswain was also coach, we
find the old oars from time to time handling the rudder-strings,
MISCELLANEOUS 101
but as boats became lighter it was found expedient to choose
the steerers rather for their lack of weight than their knowledge
of rowing. Up to the end of the sixties it was very usual for the
bow of the Eight to steer the Torpid, which he did as a rule,
at any rate in practice, standing up and with much exhortation.
Coaching for the Eights, until late years, has always been
a difficulty to the captains. Until quite recently the Conser-
vancy were stern in not allowing any horse on the towing-
path, except for the coach of the University boat. The con-
sequence was that senior men, who were becoming 'shorter
in wind, though in memory long,' were unable to keep up,
and the coaching often had to be entrusted to Torpid men,
who were more or less incapable as a rule, and often were
not listened to even when they understood their business.
At the same time the toil of running to Iffley and back with
a crew, especially when a man was rowing in his boat, made
captains shy of asking experienced men to give them a journey,
whilst, of course, it was quite impossible to get a man who was
rowing to undertake the entire coaching of some other boat,
as is often done now.
This difficulty was partially got over, when the Conservancy
granted leave for two horses to be on the towing-path each
afternoon. We can well remember the work those two horses
had, as first one stalwart coach and then another trotted them
up and down to Iffley the whole afternoon long.
With the advent of the bicycle this difficulty vanished, and
now, with the help of the recently introduced ' megaphone,'
those even whose manly voice is shrinking to childish treble
might keep up alongside an eight and make themselves heard.
The boating Dons have certainly risen nobly to their duties,
and a captain is indeed unfortunate now who cannot command
either one of these or some Blue to look after his boat.
Another, perhaps even more important, function performed
of late years by senior men is the management of the various
clubs' finances. This was a point in which the undergraduate
treasurer did not shine, and naturally, for he held office but
I02 OXFORD ROWING
a term or so, and was junior in standing to the captain, who
as a rule wanted everything which could in any way increase
the efficiency of the crew, and did not trouble much as to
whence the money came. About thirty years ago, it is not
too much to say that almost every club was hopelessly in debt ;
but gradually first one and then another college got some
kindly Don to come to the rescue, and now senior treasurers
are the rule in almost every club ; and so far the plan has
worked well, the treasurers keeping the finances straight,
yet interfering as little as possible with the general working
of the club.
In its corporate capacity, except on one occasion, when the
boat-house was burnt down and the Boat Club received a grant
of ;£ioo, the University only recognizes boating in its en-
deavours to save life. It maintains the river police, who are
stationed on the most frequented parts of the river, six being
on duty ordinarily, and others being put on in times of danger,
such as flood and frost. These men have been always under
the control of some prominent boating man, and for the last
twenty years under the treasurer of the Boat Club ; whilst the
red flag which is hoisted by authority when the river is too
rough for low uncanvassed boats, flies from the University
Barge, the University and Boat Club thus working together
in this matter. Probably few men realize how many accidents
these watermen, stationed as many of them are at the crossing
places, prevent ; whilst it will doubtless surprise most people
to hear that they go to the rescue of some hundred people each
year, who are upset in boats. Most of these no doubt could
save themselves, but we may be sure that one or two of them
each year would not. Unconscious testimony was once borne
to the efficiency of these men by a juror, who at an inquest
complained that we had them placed quite on the wrong part of
the river, ' because he never heard of any one being drowned
where they are.'
Besides doing work such as this, and in former days sub-
sidizing the bathing-place to the amount of ^100 a year, the
MISCELLANEOUS 103
police committee maintain buoys and drags at many stations in
different parts of the river, and from time to time issue notices,
cautioning against special dangers of frost or flood. We have
seen that the University made regulations with regard to out-
rigged boats, regulations which the writer cannot but think it
is a great pity that the boat-letters have been allowed to
disregard, by building such a craft as the whiff, for these
boats are the cause of more than half our fatal accidents.
They are light and they have sliding seats, two points which
are irresistible attractions to those ignorant of watermanship.
At the same time they are so low in the water that any wave,
or any considerable roll, will put them under.
It is inevitable that accidents should occur from time to time,
but amongst genuine rowing men they are extremely rare,
for they learn to swim, and, what is as important, they learn
to manage a tub boat before they attempt to navigate a light one.
If others would copy the boating men in these two points,
as they attempt to copy them in others, our rivers might soon
become as safe as our streets.

1822. — Dispute between Brasenose and Jesus *.
1823.— No races *.
1824. — This was the last year the boats started out of the lock. Why Christ
Church started head is not explained. Possibly the dispute about watermen
rowing began in 1822, and the races of that year were not recognized by the
other crews in consequence.
1825 — W. says that Smyth stroked the Christ Church boat. It is probable
that in this and subsequent years more boats were on than are recorded.

1826. — The details of the chart this year are not known. The one given only
represents the start and finish, except in the case of Christ Church. Christ
Church are stated by W. to have had on a Torpid, or second Eight, this year ;
and we give the rules signed by a second Christ Church stroke, and also by one
from Jesus. First set of rules for racing*. A rule made, no out-college man to
row, except in case of illness*.
1827. — W. gives different details, but under reservation, so we adopt K.'s
chart. Exeter had on a Torpid. R. Congreve is marked uncertain, but as he
signed the rules as stroke this is probably correct. A new rule was made this
year that no out-college man was to row*. The rules for racing are signed by
the strokes of Exeter, Worcester, Trinity, and Queen's, as well as of the four
boats on the chart.
1828. — A disputed bump on the first night between University and Christ
Church was rowed out on June 3. Christ Church put wet paint on their
bows. They secured their bump, owing to an accident in the University boat.
According to K., a proposal was made this year that the races should be rowed
in two divisions, as it was thought that the 60 feet between the boats shortened
the course too much for the hieher boats.

1833.— K. brings Exeter out to the end, above Brasenose. A fifth race was
postponed on account of the weather, but Queen's refused to row on the day
fixed upon, as not originally a race night. The rebumping is accounted for by
changes in the crews. The Exeter book is wrong this year.
1836. — The races this year were earlier than usual because of the race
with Cambridge. An extra night was granted to allow Oriel the chance of
going head. On May 30 the flags of Christ Church II. Corpus, Jesus II,
Brasenose II, St. John's, and University were also hoisted, but as it was found
inconvenient for so many crews to be on at once, the second crews of Christ
Church, Jesus, and Brasenose were withdrawn (J. O. J.). On June 3, soon
after starting, the Oriel caught and struck the Balliol, which withdrawing
from the line, the Oriel went on rapidly and beat the Exeter (J. O. J.). On
June 6 the races started ' about half-past eight o'clock ' (Ball. book).

1837. — Balliol rowed without a gang-board. Sixth night Christ Church
rebumped Balliol with a new crew; on the last night they took off to let
Queen's go head and race Lady Margaret *.
1838. — In spite of the rain the racing came off at the usual time. The
Brasenose, however, was the only boat that ventured down to Sandford ; the
others stayed at Iffley.

1839. — Bumps cancelled on first night *. The members of Brasenose gave
a supper in their Hall to 150 gentlemen, in honour of their victory, after
the race.
1840. — New rules made for races*. On last night Christ Church put on
again, and bumped Lincoln, but were disqualified on the ground that they had
no umpire and started above their position.
1841. — University claimed a bump on Brasenose, whose bows were past the
post. As the rules did not specify anything on the subject the bump was not
allowed, but the present rule was made. Fourth night : ' Our regular crew
took off, and their place was supplied by Coleridge and a Torpid crew, but -with
no better success' (Ball. book).
1842. — A dispute between University and Trinity as to starting-posts. The
former not in position at gun-fire. ' Balliol did not throw up their oars when
first bumped.' Fifth night: The race for head of the river on this night is
that described in Tom Brown in Oxford, ' St. Ambrose ' being Oriel, and
' Oriel ' Trinity.
1843. — Exeter absent the first night in consequence of the funeral of one of
its members, but allowed to keep its place.

on the fourth night in an outrigger built by Venables. The combination was
named ' Caudlen.'

1846. — Exeter had a new mahogany boat from Clasper, which 'proved an
entire failure'; next year they went back to the old type of boat. Magdalen
Hall fouled a buoy on first night, and Trinity lost their rudder-lines.
1847. — On the first night Oriel bumped Queen's, a bump having taken place
between them. Christ Church II objected to Brasenose II putting on in the
middle of the Eights, because their entrance fee had not been paid by the
appointed time. The objection was overruled, whereupon the captains of
Christ Church and of Pembroke, and ten members of Christ Church, called
a captains' meeting. The decision of the committee was upheld by n votes
to 4. On May 19 a man in the Brasenose boat caught a crab, and fell out, as
they were passing the post *.

1848. — The space allowed between the boats at starting was this year
increased to 150 feet. In the third race Pembroke bumped Brasenose, but the
ex-president discovered that their post had been moved 36 feet up, so the
Pembroke captain withdrew his claim to the bump.
1849. — First day : Trinity broke a rowlock, but escaped through the boat
behind being impeded by other boats. Second day: Oriel's 'seven' broke
a rowlock at the Kidneys, but they succeeded in getting home. Pembroke had
a new outrigger by King, ' single streak, 59 feet long.'
1850. — Fifth day : Christ Church took their station, but did not start. Oriel
rowed by them and drew aside.
1852. — This year we find the distance between the boats at starting to be
1 60 feet.

1858. — 'Mr. R. I. Salmon came up this year to row for Exeter, and thus has
rowed Exeter from bottom to top of the river, and kept her there, without
having submitted to a bump in his boating career at Oxford ' (Exeter book).
This was the first year that the Eights were rowed on consecutive nights.
Second night : Lincoln came down too late for the start.
1859. — ' Magdalen had bumped each of the first seven nights, and there was
an idea prevalent at the time that a boat bumping every night could claim an
extra night' (Trinity book). Christ Church II put on again on the fifth night.
1861. — First night : Corpus bumped Oriel, which did not at once acknowledge,
and were driven into the bank ; two total wrecks were the consequence.

1862. — Seventh night : Queen's lost a rudder-line and were bumped by
St. Edmund Hall. Trinity lost four places in the Torpids, ' but no less than
five of their crew appear in the Eight; so much, or so little, difference is there
between the head of the river and one of the worst Torpids ' (Trinity book).

1864. — The distance between the boats reduced to 130 feet. Christ Church
were stopped by a blockade of boats, and Pembroke rowed past, but would not
claim the bump. First night : St. Edmund Hall late, and so lost a place.
Sixth night : ' New College was actually able to bump St. Edmund Hall.'
1865. — The practice of getting up old men to row was carried to excess this
year *, and a rule was passed to stop it in the future.
1866. — On the third night Corpus bumped Brasenose, and went head. On
the next night Brasenose rearranged their crew, moving Shepherd to stroke
from 6, changed their boat, and, rowing a very quick stroke, rebumped them
at Saunders' Bridge. Corpus took this disappointment in a true sporting spirit,
and have left it on record that they were ' hospitably and honourably treated
by Brasenose at their bump-supper, and afterwards played a cricket-match
with them in truly aquatic style, which ended in a tie.'
1867.— First night: Worcester were entangled in the bump ahead of them,
and passed by Magdalen over three places, but ' Magdalen very courteously
resigned their claim.' Fourth night : Christ Church bumped by Lincoln, but
claimed a previous bump, unacknowledged, on Merton. This was granted on
appeal, but Merton rebumped them later.

1868. — The Eights this year began on a Monday. First night : St. John's
were impeded and Balliol rowed past, but declined to claim the bump over four
places. Second night : Trinity were stopped by bump in front. All other boats
rowed past, but Magdalen refused to take the bump. Third night : Exeter,
bumped by University, claimed an earlier bump against Brasenose, which was
allowed. Seventh night: St. Mary Hall stroke broke an oar and jumped
overboard. The seven oars kept the race going to the crossing.
1869. — ' Non-appearance in Chapel was held tantamount to ejection from
the crew' (Exeter book). Third night: Oriel 3 broke an oar when they
were about to make a bump, and were bumped over two places by St. Edmund
Hall.

1872. — St. Edmund Hall and St. Mary Hall attempted an amalgamation, but
it was not allowed, the rule authorizing such combination having been
rescinded.
1873. — Sliding seats first used in the Eights*. Second night: Queen's bumped
Magdalen Hall, but were disqualified and lost a place for dropping their bung.
Fourth night : Keble put on slides, and, though they lost a man from illness,
rebumped St. Mary Hall on the seventh night. Last night : Magdalen, in
order to make their bump, had their boat French polished. It went very
heavily, and on getting it out of the water they found it covered with oil.
The polisher had put it on 'because he thought gentlemen liked their boats
to look shiny ' !

1877. — On the sixth night New College bumped Worcester, Merton and
Queen's rowed past, but the next boat, Hertford, was stopped by New College,
who were in consequence fined ^5, ' which the Warden and Vice-Chancellor
paid in token of his sympathy with the college's success.'
1878. — The number of nights for the Eights was reduced to six, instead of
eight. The towing-path was under water during the whole of the training.
Third night : Magdalen broke an oar. Fourth night : Balliol, rowing a very
fast stroke, rebumped Magdalen.
1879. — Fourth night : Magdalen rowed past Brasenose. Fifth night :
Magdalen broke a rowlock, ' which prevented them going head, as they other-
wise would have done, for they were overlapping Balliol on the first night
when they made their bump.'

1881. — Wadham rebumped by Queen's through losing an oar. Fourth night :
Trinity rudder-lines fouled the bung and drew the post from the ground.
Fifth night : Jesus lost a place for starting before the gun.
1882. — ' Exeter this year achieved a success which is probably without
precedent in the annals of rowing at Oxford, by going from fourth to head of
the river with a crew comprising six Torpid men and one who had not even
rowed in the Torpid ' (Exeter book). Sixth night : Corpus rebumped by New
College through breaking an oar.
1883. — First night : St. John's broke their rudder at start and ran into the
bank, Pembroke rowing past. Second night : Christ Church close on Trinity
when they made their bump. They could not get clear, and Worcester rowed
past and bumped them over two places. Keble broke an oar.

1893. — Sixth night : Jesus rebumped St. Mary Hall through the latter
breaking an oar.
1894. — Third night : This race was memorable for a wonderful escape of
Magdalen when head of the river. New College were generally thought to
be the faster crew, but were not fast enough to catch them. A great crab was
caught, however, in the Magdalen boat, on the bow side, just below the Weirs'
Bridge, which stopped the boat, and brought her over to the Oxfordshire shore.
Meanwhile New College had come up on the Berkshire shore, and were over-
lapping. The race seemed over, but the Magdalen stroke, H. B. Cotton, put
on a magnificent spurt, and before the New College coxswain could get across
the river, had put his boat out of danger.
1895. — Fifth night : Pembroke rebumped Wadham ' owing to a fearful crab
in that boat.'

Balliol
1838. — There must have been at least one more day's racing, as Brasenose
started above Balliol next year.
1839. — May 30 : In consequence of the Balliol men being in the Trinity
boat, they were not allowed to start. Oriel, however, agreed to allow them
to keep their place. Brasenose bumped Exeter immediately, and caught Christ
Church before the Gut.
1840. — June 20 : Wadham bumped Exeter, who objected to the stroke of
the Wadham, because he had rowed several nights in the racing boats.
Evidence was heard, and it was decided by the O.U.B.C. ' that every man
who has pulled one night in a racing boat is disqualified from pulling in
a Torpid.' As the decision was injurious to the crews, no boat but Wadham
put on the last day.
1841. — There are no entries in the president's book this year.

1843. — Third day : Christ Church having obtained a new boat, and having
entirely changed their crew, rebumped Pembroke.
1845. — On the fifth day Brasenose rowed past Oriel, caught Wadham,
passed them, and came in a considerable distance ahead. There were to have
been two more races, but as two of the Pembroke crew were drowned sculling
up the Cherwell, they were given up. Brasenose held another 'bump-supper,'
which they kept up till shortly before three. They considered it ' one of the
most gratifying spectacles ever presented to the lovers of aquatic sports.'

1853. — First day : Lincoln in turning smashed their boat. The races were
delayed until they got a fresh one. February 25 : The boisterous state of the
weather prevented the races being rowed.
1854. — Christ Church first Torpid was bumped by their second. 'This
year a scratch Torpid was made up an hour before the first race, which
exhibited immense pluck, though beginning with anticipations of being bumped
every night, and fully realizing its expectations' ^Oriel book).
1855.— A rule was made this year that all men rowing in the Torpids must
be members of the O.U.B.C., and at the same time the subscription was raised
to .£3. In consequence of this only seven boats put on. The races were
later than usual this year in consequence of the severe frost, which lasted
during six weeks of the terra, so that the races were postponed till the next

term, but the frost breaking up were rowed on March 14, after but eight days'
practice. On the second day Pembroke upset, and on the third they broke
an oar.
1858. — Christ Church and Brasenose rowed in the new style of boats, the
first yet used in Torpid races. The races were postponed, on March i, ' to
the first open day,' owing to severe frost, with disaster to the head boat*. On
the last day but one Balliol took off, ' expecting to be able to rebump Trinity
and regain their place. This, as might have been expected, they were unable
to do' (Trin. book). Lincoln ran into the bank, and Corpus ran into their
coxswain's back and upset.

1859. — Exeter Torpid and Eight both rowed in the Chester boat, of Mat.
Taylor's build, which had done duty since 1857. Wadham were rebumped
owing to their bung being entangled in the rudder.
1860. — 'The Torpid rowed this year in a gig eight, the crew being too heavy
for a light boat' (Trin. book). On the fourth day Balliol claimed a bump on
Brasenose, but it was not allowed, as they were past the post. Exeter had
on a second Torpid, ' but owing to Nos. 1-5, inclusive, catching crabs, they were
caught by Queen's.'
1861. — This year, owing to a motion carried the previous year by 15 to i,
all Torpids had to row in gig boats. The floods were out to such an extent
as to obliterate all landmarks. ' It having been proved undisputably that
X had broken training during the week of the races in a most dishonourable
manner, he was summarily ejected from the crew ' (Exeter book). Fourth
day : No. 3 in the Corpus boat broke an oar, jumped overboard, and the
crew rowed home. Last day : Trinity broke an oar, and were rebumped
by Exeter. Oriel had six men under 10 stone.

On the first actual day of racing, Brasenose bumped Exeter, the head boat.
They were disqualified, however, for dropping their bung before the start,
and were unable to repeat their bump afterwards. It was determined to give
up only one Friday this year to the Rifle Corps. Boats during practice were
often unable to go down through floating ice. The crews were blinded with
snow and frozen with cold. Water was over path during races. Fifth day :
The stroke of the Trinity boat was so disgusted at being bumped, that he
jumped into the water and swam to land, leaving the other seven men to row
the boat up.
1866. — Floods all through training. First day : Brasenose rowed by
Exeter. New College Torpid is declared to be quite a ' new thing,' being put
on for the first time. Curiously enough, they bumped their future rivals,
Magdalen, ' who having reached bottom took off.' Second day : Worcester
rebumped by Trinity owing to a bad start. ' Brasenose is therefore head of
the river, both in the Eights and Torpids. It is but fair, however, to say
that they had five B.A.'s in their boat, amongst whom was Pocklington, an old
'Varsity stroke.' Sixth day : The last gun fired fifteen seconds too soon, so
the bumps were appealed against, but the committee decided they must stand.
1867. — It was agreed to give up Torpid coaching on Friday, for the benefit
of the Rifle Corps. The Wadham crew, however, at any rate, were always

taken to Sandford in tub fours on these days. Sixth day : A strong wind.
Pembroke ran into the bank at the start, and Worcester broke an oar.
1869.-«-Rough weather and continuous floods. ' What is allowed to be
the strongest crew upon the river, starting head, has been rowed down every
day, simply from some of the crew playing the fool, and breaking training '
^Exeter book). See Eights, 1869.
1870. — Second day : A series of disputes between Exeter and the five
following boats *. Fourth day : Exeter rowed clean past Brasenose, who

starting rope trailing behind. Sixth day: New College broke an oar, and

1874. — The Torpids were rowed for the first time in two divisions. Floods
during practice and the races. First day : The Brasenose coxswain steered
his boat into the bank before they had gone ten yards ; Oriel rowed by them ;
Balliol rowed into Oriel (who were quite stationary, being drawn into the
bank), and injured the Oriel coxswain ; Queen's rowed by Balliol. Last
day : University disqualified for starting before the gun.
1875. — Third day : A tailor in a punt smashed the Queen's boat just as they
were going down for the race ; in consequence of which they lost a place
to Balliol. Keble II having followed Keble I up for two nights, and made all
their bumps earlier than the first boat, on the last night the two crews changed
places, in hopes of bringing off a bump missed by the first crew the night
before. They overlapped, but did not bump.
1876. — Floods and the weather much against coaching ; during the races
there were « snow, floods, and hurricanes.' This is the first year of Hertford

1878. — Second day : Exeter bumped Balliol. Christ Church fouled Exeter,
and were caught by Keble.
1879. — Skating, which lasted far into the term, interfered greatly with
coaching. This was followed by floods, so that the coaching had to be done
largely from the stern, whilst several boats migrated to the upper river.
First day : Balliol broke a rudder-line, and were bumped, but regained their
place next day. Second day : Hertford fouled a piece of floating bark, which
stuck to their bows, and were rebumped by Brasenose II. Magdalen broke
an oar. Third day : Wadham broke an oar. Fourth day : Corpus (bumped
by Magdalen) rowed an untrained man, as No. 7 fainted just as they were
getting into the boat. Last day : Corpus broke an oar.

boats retired to the upper river. Fourth day : Queen's impeded by New
College, and bumped by Magdalen. Sixth day : No. 2 in the Hertford boat
broke his oar at the start, but, though Merton were within a yard of them from
the Red Post to the finish, they managed to escape.
1881. — Again river frozen, followed by floods. Coaching on upper river.
Floods and gales on the three last days of the races. First day : Keble II ran
into the bank at the start. Second day : Balliol II disqualified for informal start ;

1882. — Third day : Hertford broke a rigger. Keble stroke broke an oar
soon after the start, but managed to escape.
1883.— First day: New II were given a place though they were not on.
In consequence of this, the last four boats had to move up a place at the last
moment, and Merton did not get their bung, so were disqualified though they
bumped St. Catharine's. Winds, rain, and floods. Crews on upper river.
1884.— Floods. Crews at Medley for a week. Merton went bottom for the
first time. The crew were not allowed to wear their colours.

1885. — First day : New College, in preliminary, ran on a sunken pile,
and had to swim ashore, and run up to their barge through the floods. They
had only just time to alter the stretchers in their second boat and get down
to the race. A curious incident occurred with Christ Church II, too long for
insertion here*. Second day : University fouled their bung, and were bumped
by Jesus.

1886. — Incessant floods. Exeter II in practice were consistently faster than
the first, in spite of repeated changes. In the long course, starting three
lengths behind, they rowed past the first, and finished a length ahead. Second

disputed, but given. Fourth day : Christ Church II fouled its bung, and

the bank, and was bumped by Wadham, Oriel rowing past and so bumping
Christ Church over two places.
1887. — Sixth day : Jesus broke an oar, and were bumped by Lincoln.
1888. — Snow on towing path, ice in river almost too thick to row through.

In consequence of the difficulty which arose in these races, a rule was passed
that not more than two boats should start in a heat. The Fours this year were
placed early, because the Eights were so excessively bad that no new ones had
been formed, so it was determined to give the Trial Eights four weeks' practice.

The pistols went off almost simultaneously, the advantage, if any, being
in favour of New. It was thought to be a dead heat, and in absence of
a referee Corpus claimed the race. A captains' meeting considered the
question, all the members of the committee being interested in the dispute.
Dr. Darbishire (chairman) ruled that, if Corpus claimed it, the race must be
rowed again. They refused to exercise this right, and, by fourteen votes to
six, it was decided that New had won.

The Magdalen pistol went off first, but Christ Church claimed the race on the
ground that their pistol was fired first but missed fire. The committee, after
hearing a number of witnesses, eventually awarded Christ Church the race. In
consequence of this unsatisfactory incident, it was determined to abolish the
use of pistols and use semaphores instead.

1 This race, in consequence of the flooded state of the river, was rowed over
the Oxford course, thus departing from the usual custom of rowing at Nuneham.
As the towing-path in both places was under water, no object would have been
gained by rowing below ; the Gut was consequently marked out with great care
so as to make the sides as even as possible ' (President's book).
W. B. Woodgate, having choice of sides, took the Berkshire shore ; up to
the Gut Finch led slightly, but at the crossing was astern, and eventually lost
by two or three lengths.

F. E. Armitstead was given the inside or Berkshire station, which was a great
advantage, as a perfect hurricane was blowing up stream. Armitstead won
with great ease, the other boat shipping so much water that it sank immediately
on passing the post. In consequence of the bad weather no picked crew was
taken out.
1872.
In consequence of the floods at Oxford, the race was this year rowed at

The race was rowed against stream, from the lasher to the island. Daniell
won the toss, and took the inside or Oxfordshire station. The race was very
close ; Daniell led for half-way, but afterwards lost ground, and was

In the race for the Grand Challenge Cup, Cambridge broke a rowlock soon
after starting, but Oxford were between two and three lengths ahead at the
time. E. C. Burton had rowed for Oxford twice, and had been president
in 1849.
Balliol rowed at Henley this year under assumed names, the college
authorities having put a veto upon members of Balliol going to Henley during
term time. For the same reason they entered as Oxford B.C., an entry which
has given rise to much confusion, some taking it as the O.U.B.C., some as
University College. One of the pairs entered in the names of Symonds and
Hawkins, the heads of their respective colleges.
