A record of Eton boat lists and races which should be accessible to all was long felt to be wanted. There are no written or printed lists which can be obtained further back than 1835, and such names as have been obtained prior to that year have been furnished me hy old boating men. The Introduction is almost entirely composed from letters which I have received, and I have to thank my correspondents for their care in answer- ing my enquiries and their trouble in furnishing me with so many interesting facts. The Eton manuscripts consist of the Boating Books kept by the Captain of the Boats, those belonging to the Eev. E. E. Durnford's and Mr. Evans' Houses, and the College Aquatic Eegister. I sincerely hope that these books will be kept up for all future years, as they are invaluable in putting together this little work. The Eton College Chronicle is also most useful, but it should not be allowed to take the place of the Boating Books. I have also made great use of Mr. H. E. C. Stapylton's Mon School Lists in correcting the spelling of names and in verifying dates. So many corrections have also been sent me that I sincerely trust very few, if any, errors will occur in the Second Edition. R. H. BLAKE-HUMFREY. Heggatt Ualli Ilor stead, Noriuicli, May Isf, 1875. INTRODUCTION. The boating records of Eton go back no further than the year 1825 ; the few facts such as some names of men who belonged to boats previously and those of some Captains and second Captains of the boats have been gathered from the memory of old Etonians who were their contemporaries in the school. And yet as far back as the oldest Etonians can remei:nher there were Long Boats in existence with their regular crews, captaSis, and steerers, and the river was frequented both for rowing and fishino-. We regret that the names of the distinguished oars of older days have not been preserved and that we do not possess any accounts of the races they rowed. Until comparatively of late years the river was out of bounds, and considerable difficulty Avas encountered in getting to and from the Brocas by the necessity of all but the Sixth Eorm being obliged to shirk the Masters, and of all the Lower Boys having lo shirk the Sixth Form. However, the river itself was not forbidden ; it was simply ignored. On the morning of the 4th of June, 1822, Dr. Keate sent for the then Captain of the Boats, and said to him, " The boys are often very noisy on this evening and late for Lock-up. Foic know I know nothing I But I have heard you are in a position of authority and know a great deal : so I hope you will endeavour not to be late to-night, and do your best to prevent disorder. Lock-up time will be twenty minutes later than " usual :* it is your customary privilege." As it turned out they were not more than an hour late on that day, and there was not quite so much of a row as usual; and, in consequence, Dr. Keate expressed his satis- faction, but still professed his ignorance of what had really occurred. None of the Masters went near the river on the 4th of June or Election Saturday, and the fact of Fireworks, and the whole School being late for Lock-up, was winked at on these occasions. Possibly they came incoonito to see the fireworks. It is also an interesting fact that the first race honoured by the pres- ence of a Head Master was the Pulling Sweepstakes in 1847, when Dr. Hawtrey Avas rowed in a boat by Eev. H. Dupuis and Mr. Evans. It was thought a most liberal concession of Dr. Goodford when, on the 1st of March, 1860, at the request of the Captain of the Boats, he allowed the Boats to go to the Brocas without shirking, though in the followino- half that absurd custom was abolished for all the School. ' ^ In the processions on all great days, the Monarch, with ten oars, was always the head boat ; and the Stroke of the Monarch was Captain of the Boats. .In 1811 there was a Ten-oar and three boats with eio-ht oars : (1) Monarch, ten-oar, (2) Dreadnought, (3) Defiance, and (4) Rivals. Besides these, there were the Mars and the Mercury which were six-oared boats. In 1814 the list was (1) Monarch, ten-oar, (2) Dreadnought, (8) Mars, {4^) Hibernia, (5) Defiance, eight oars each, {Q) Rivals, six-oar. vi INTRODUCTION. With the exception of the Monarch and the Dreadnought each of the boats in those days had a waterman to pull Stroke and drill the crew. The practice of having a waterman to each of the Lower Boats continued until 1828 when it was abolished, and, after that, the Captain of each crew rowed the Stroke oar. At the time, this was thought a great reform, for the waterman frequently rowed a bad Stroke, and the crew were obliged to subscribe to pay for his day's work, beer, and clothes. Never- theless, some old Etonians will remember that they owed their earliest insffuction in rowing to the famous Jack Hall, the brother of the Usher- man whose portrait is so well known, and to Old Paddle " or Padool," as a man named Brads used to be called. About 1812 or 1813 the original Monarch was driven from her moor- ings at Charley Carter's boat posts by a barge and squashed against old Windsor bridge and was replaced by a much better ten-oared boat. At that time the boats were usually moored and the crews embarked by the Brocas meadow above where the boat-houses now are, but on the 4th of June and Election Saturday the crews used to land at Carter's, the boat- builder. Carter was a one-armed man, and his boat-house was close to Windsor bridge. The number of the Boats as well as their names have changed in different years. The Upper Boats were formerly manned by the Sixth and Fifth Eorms exclusively, and the Lower Boats by mixed crews, in- dependently of their position in the School ; for, as the authorities were ignorant of the existence of boating, no check was put upon those who belonged to the Boats, nor were they prohibited to " Non-Nants." It was in 1839 that ''Passing" was instituted and a master appointed to keep some sort of surveillance over what was done on the river. A fatal accident was the immediate cause of this institution ; how often have the greatest calamities been productive of the greatest good to mankind ! In the summer half of that year a boy named Montague, who was a pupil of Eev. W. A. Carter, was swept out of his boat by a barge-rope just above Windsor bridge and was drowned. His tablet is in the College Chapel. This led the present Bishop of Lichfield (Dr. Selwyn), then a private tutor, and Mr. William Evans to force on the Head Master (Dr. Hawtreyj freedom for boating, and as a condition the necessity of a "pass" in swimming. Since that time, and humanly speaking from that regulation, there has been no fatal accident to boys on the river. Before that it was a frequent occurrence. Formerly the second Captains of the Boats used frequently to row nine in the Monarch. Thus in 1816 Bridgman-Simpson was taken ill in the summer half and was succeeded by Mr. Bligh* who was then nine in the ten-oar, and he stepped into the place of stroke as a matter of course. Bligh was at that time Captain of the Oppidans, and had been for two years in the Cricket Eleven (of which game he was fonder than of rowing) and three years in the Football Eleven, and thus attained a position never before or since occupied by any other Eton fellow. * The Hon. John Duncan Bligh, K. Q. B, died in 1872. I have a letter from him narrating these facts. INTRODUCTION. vii The name of the Captains who succeeded Bligh, as well as the few names belonging to the years before 1825, have been obtained from their contemporaries in the School; and, if any mistakes have been made, it must be borne in mind that fifty years, more or less, have passed away and left but few survivors to tell the tale. Three names of famous oars who belonged to the boats in 1817 are mentioned by Mackworth Praed in his poem entitled " Surly Hall," which was first published in the Etonian. There may have been giants in those days, though every old Etonian is ready to say that things now are not as they were formerly, and that the " Swells " of his day surpassed those of the present. " Yon think the boats well-manned this year ! To yon they may perhaps appear ! I, who have seen those frames of steel, TucKPiELD, and Dixon, and Bulteel, Can swear — no matter what I swear — Only things are not as they were !" The names of the Eight of 1820 w^ho ought to have rowed in the match against Westminster which was forbidden, were cut in the Head Master's desk in Uppei School. On search being made for them the following eleven names, cut at one time and by the same hand, were found : — 1820. Dunlo T. Ashley Pnxley Heneage W. 0. Smith H. Grove Of these Grove was steerer, and possibly the two extra names were choices out. There is also a boat's crew of 1821 which has been preserved to us in tlie same way, and though many generations of Fourth Forms may have seen it, it has probably passed unnoticed by them all. It is that of the Nelson, then the second boat, and the names are cut on the middle desk on the left-hand side of Upper School, looking towards the Head Master's room. They are as follows : — J. A. Kinglake, Captain T. J. Knowlys Lord Fincastle Mr. Trench J. J. Marsham J. Hargreaves H. Fane C. Delme C. D. Griffiths, 8teerer It is the 4th of June of this year that Praed refers to in " Surly Hall and he thus describes the arrival of the boats : — " And look ! — they land, those gallant crews, With their jackets light, and their bellying trews ; And Ashley walks applauded by, With a world's talent in his eye ; I. Freeman T. Outram E. Stanley E. Taylor B. Taylor viii INTRODUCTION. And KiNGLAKE, dear to poetry, And dearer to his friends ; Hibernian Egberts, you are there, With that unthinking merry stare Which still its influence lends To make us drown our devils blue, In laug'hing at ourselves — and you ! Still I could lengthen out the tale And sing Sir Thomas with his Ale To all that like to read ; Still I could choose to linger long, Where Friendship bids the willing song Flow^ out for honest Meade." Asliley was Captain of the Boats ; tlie Second Captain was Kinglake,* wlio rowed Stroke of the Nelson, and whose crew appears above ; and Koberts was Captain of the Hihernia which was then manned by Irish fellows. Formerly the unfortunate crews had to wear bine jackets with embroidered anchors on the outside arm and pull up to Surly with the jackets on. This was abolished in 1828 and each crew then rowed in shirts of different checks. Previous to 1814 all the rowers in each boat had a complete fancy dress appropriate to each boat — such as High- landers, Galley-slaves, Swiss peasants — and consequently the scene was most picturesque. The two first boats adopted the sailors dress before the other. But in 1784 fancy dresses were unknown. The boating* always began about the first of March, or as soon as the floods began to subside, but before they subsided entirely and the river became clear. From then till Easter was the best time for rowing. It was the time when there w^as most rivalry between the boats, and the practice of bumping one another was most of the amusement. In old times they rowed to Surly, as a rule drank a glass of rum or shrub and water and played a game of skittles; after half an hour ''oars" were called by tlie Captain of the Boats and they then rowed down to the Brocas. Until the Westminster matches were made there was no regular Eiglit of the School ; there was a Four chosen usually but they had no regular matches. About the year 1820 an endeavour was made to get up a race against Westminster, and both Schools selected a crew to represent them. But, on the eve of the day appointed, the authorities put a stop to the match by threatening to expel any boys who should row ; and it was not until 1829 that the first great contest came off. The races however that were rowed between the boys themselves were sufficient to excite the keenest struggles, and were looked forward to with the greatest interest. The great race of old days was Upper Sixes, and was rowed from the Brocas up to Surly Hall and back, before the Lock was made, and in after-times round " Eushes." This will now, though it was revived in a race between the Six and the Eight in 1854, be regarded as an impossible trial of strength and endurance. But now-a-days speed is everything ; * The late Mr. Serjeant Kinglake, Jf. P. INTRODUCTION. ix the boats are lighter, but a faster stroke is rowed. Even in the old heavy boats before 1825 the Eton stroke was faster than that of other crews on the Thames. We are told by Col. Morgan Clifford, who was Captain of the Boats in 1824, that Staniforth introduced the quick stroke at Oxford and got up the Christ Church boat to the top of the river ; and he contrasts it with the slow Westminster stroke. Before 1830 there were very few races rowed compared with later years, but whenever the boats rowed to Surly they used to try and bump one another which kept up the esprit de corps among them. The ten-oar used to be often hard pressed by the first eight which had a strong picked crew^ whilst the ten had, as now, several courtesy " oars who were often very inefficient. The four best oars were in general placed two in each of the first boats. In 1824 on the 4th of June Mr. Canning was sitter in the ten and he was in great excitement at the danger of being bumped as the boats rowed through Windsor bridge. In all the races that were rowed between Sixes or Eights round a turning-point there was more or less bumping, but it is much to be re- gretted that no rules can be found, if there were any, which regulated what amount of bumping or jostling was allowed. It seems, from a note to one of the races, that there were some regulations as to the sides of the river to be kept ; but the great point was for the boat, which was left behind at first, to catch its opponent at the turning-point ; and then a fight resulted, at the end of which one boat or the other was frequently disabled. The account of the race between Eton and Westminster in 1837, when " the Etonians made a strong pull in the hope of catching " their opponents on the quarter, and when the Westminsters would- have shipped some water had not young Lord Somerton borne the Haidee " up by leaning over on the opposite side," seems to indicate a desire on both sides to fight it out by fair or foul means, but any how to get in first. In another of these races a foul lasted five or six minutes, and ended in one of the boats having her rudder struck off, and being turned completely round. But the times are changed now : fouling is not allowed, and skill, obtained by the scientific coaching of oarsmen into "form," is added to the strength and pluck of old days. The boats of the present day are of a very different build from those even of a few years ago ; and how dif- ferent from the ancient specimens with a gangway down the middle which now convey the bands to Surly Hall on the 4th of June ! It is the im- provement in boat building chiefly which has changed the stroke from a long steady pull to a sharp "smite " at the beginning, but the straight arms, straight back, and shoulders down are principles as old as any eight oared race on record. It was impossible in the tub eights to catch the begiuning " only, the stroke had to be rowed through ; and yet as long ago as 1836 it was said of the Oxford and Cambridge crews that rowed at Putney, " their style of rowing was nothing like that of the crack men of the Thames, they invariably begin to row where the 6 X INTRODUCTION. " London men leave off and appear to have no notion of bending forwards." It was the London watermen who effected a change in them before the race. The boats in which the universities raced in 1839 were built of oak and measured 5 2 feet long. The Oxford boat was painted white and blue and pricked with gold, having the arms of tke university emblazoned on the rudder. The first outriggers were used in that annual contest in 1846 and they were built in streaks. The streaks soon gave way to the smooth skins, but it was not until 1857 that both university crews rowed in the present style of boats without keels and with round loomed oars. To those who have now learned to row on sliding seats it should be interesting to hear that the first outrigger was imported to Eton in 1852, and so late as 1860 the Victory was the only one in regular use. Now the " clincker-built " boat is thought heavy enough, but down to 1861 most of the practice was done in boats which are now extinct, with rowlocks in the gun- wale, and a half outrigger for the Stroke and the Bow oars. It was in such boats that the practice originated for the crews to stand up as they passed the Fireworks o"q the eyot on the 4th of June, and in thenj they could hold up their oars on end and cheer with the utmost safety. Bat these changes have been brought about by improvements in machinery, and only show that the art of boat-building has progressed with other modern inventions. They have had no effect on customs, and the races of 1875 are for the most part those of twenty years ago repeated, with different combatants and different winners. The Sculling and the Pulling, which were first School Sweepstakes and were rowed for the money collected, still start from the same place and turn at the same point ; and though, in the latter, Steerers are not allowed, yet these two races are practically the same as those we find recorded for the first time in 1830. There was a match about 1817 between a four of Mr. Carter's house and four of the professional watermen. It caused great excitement at the time, and to every one's surprise the boys won ; but the watermen were too heavy for their boat which was three or four inches too deep in the water. There were also matches between the houses occasionally as far back as the memory of the oldest men goes, but the great race for House Fours was not instituted as an annual contest until 1856 when the magnificent Challenge Cup was purchased by Mr. Stanley, the then Captain of the Oppidans, by means of a subscription which was chiefly raised by his exertions. Another very old race was the Double Sculling but we have no records of it until 1831. There used also to be both Single and Double Punting, but punting was forbidden in 1831 owing to the punts being made use of for lounging about under the willows. The races between Dames and Tutors and Two Sides of College used to excite the greatest interest, and every dry as well as wet-bob always came to see them. There was a race between Two Sides of College in 1823 ; but these have now been given up and the interest has subsided chiefly on account of the increase of houses on the North Side, so that there is not INTRODUCTION. xi any fair division and the Dames houses are ahnost all kept by mathe- matical or other masters. None of the other races require any particular notice, and it will be found that no attempt has been made hereafter to describe any of them, with the exception of those between Eton and Westminster. In the early manuscript records no descriptions exist, and it is thought that little im- portance attaches to the fact that one boat got the lead at starting ; that the Windsor Side boat lost by not getting round Upper Hope first ; or that the turn at Bargeman's i3ush decided a race in favour of one or the other ; but that it is sufficient to give the list of the competing crews, and the names of the winners. Descriptions indeed of races now-a-days would be unintelligible to Etonians who only knew the river before the Boveney Locks were made. We are informed by Sir William Miles, who rowed in the boats in 1813, that the whole face of the river has been altered by the Locks, and that barring the two Hopes he would scarcely recognise what used to be the salient points. The Eights often practised rowing to Maidenhead Bridge and back, and if we remember that this was done in the old heavy boats, we may suppose there was not so much stream then as there is now. The Appendix contains a summary of the winners of the most im- portant races, with the times, so far as they can be obtained, in which some of them were rowed. This reference to the times may be useful to Wet-bobs," and will no doubt excite a strong desire in those who will contend in the future contests for the Sculling and Pulling to eclipse the doings of their predecessors. But the times will vary with the state of the river, and unfortunately no notes have been made of the height of the stream when they were rowed. It would be well if a post were fixed at one of the rafts with feet and inches marked on it, so that in future it might be referred to in some such way as this — Time of the race " 19mins. 40 sees., height of the river, — feet, — inches," and in this way comparisons could be drawn between the results of successive years. One of the most note^vorthy things in these boating accounts is the increase in the number of races which are now rowed. The popularity of the river compared with that of the playing-fields has varied at times with the successes obtained by the Eleven and the Eight respectively. At one time when Harrow had won many successive matches and the general standard of cricket was at rather a low^ ebb, the river swarmed with the tubs and funnies of the small boys, and Locks were filled tw^o or three times over with boats going to Surly every long after-four. But of late years " Sixpenny " has been more attractive to those who have only half decided whether they are most fitted for boating, cricket, or neither. A writer in the^^o;^ College Chronicle says that such boys need never be anxious about the prospects of their recreation through life. But somehow or other plenty of names at last are put down for the boats every February, and an additional Eight has been kept on ever since 1869. It was said at one time that the chief attractions for the boats were the Check Nights, xii INTRODUCTION. but it is certain that since their abolition there lias been no falling off in boating ; on the contrary, we find that new races have sprung into exist- ence : there are Junior Pairs and Junior Sculls, and the entries for all the races are as numerous as ever. Then there is a Steerers' Sculling race, and Trial Eights instead of Dames v. Tutors, in the Easter Half. Upper Eights has revived its interest by a Challenge Cup being rowed for, and the crews go into regular practice for some time previous to the race. Above all, there is the Henley Eegatta. The training of the Eight is daily watched with the greatest interest by dozens of fellows, who run along the bank and speculate as to who will be the new Choices. What improvements may be seen in the tone and vigour which this race has inspired into the Boats will best be judged of by those who have watched the river before and since leave was given them to row there. It was said by the Head Master,* when his permission was asked for the Eight to go to Henley, that it was useless for boys to contend with University men ; but it was urged in answer that they could but try, and that row- ing would so improve in the School, that some day they might be suc- cessful. The experiment has proved the truth of the prophecy. Eton has won the Ladies' Plate several times ; has beaten many College crews ; and has rowed the Henley course in 7mins. ISsecs. the fastest time on record. That a most decided improvement has appeared in the style of rowing all through the boats, no practised oarsman can fail to perceive ; but it will never be forgotten that the Boats have owed this almost en- tirely to the kind assistance of the Rev. Edmond Warre, who has devoted so much energy to coaching the crews, whose name will always be associated with this period in the boating annals of Eton, and who will be for ever remembered with affection by his grateful pupils. Some old Etonians will be surprised to find a notice of an institution which was originated in 1861, viz. the Boating Bill. Eor many years the " Dry-bobs " of Upper Club had been allowed the exclusive privilege of getting leave not to attend six o'clock absence on Holidays and Half- Holidays, by sending to the Head Master a Bill of their nanies. It was said that this was given to them to place them on an equality with the Boats, for the licence given to the latter to hold their Check Nights. f But when these were given up the Boats claimed a Boating Bill as com- pensation, and it was accorded to them on certain conditions, which arc set out on page 125. We have been informed that, in consequence, the excursions to Maidenhead, Cliefden, and Cookham in the Summer Half are duly appreciated, and that frequent applications are made for "the Bills. With the exception of the Westminster race, but few matches were rowed by the Eight against any antagonists with whom they were equally matched, until they were permitted to compete at Henley Regatta for the * Dr. Goodford. t Under the year 1861 a Note will be found explaining what Check Nights were, for the benefit of the present generation of Eton Boys. See p. 124. IJ^TRODUCTION. xiii Ladies' P^te and tlie Grand Challenge Cup. It will be seen that now and then a College crew came down from one of the Universities to row them, but as they did not go into any training these must be looked upon only as scratch races. The Westminster race, as an annual match, was put an end to by the authorities after 1847, and though it was revived again in 1860, Eton won so easily on that and on three subsequent occasions, that the Westminsters have wisely ceased to send any more challenges. But in 1858 a match was made with Eadley School to be rowed over the Henley course, and the greatest interest was excited by the reports which were spread about of the formidable strength of their Eight. Nobody knew where or what Eadley was ; but when it was rumoured that they had defeated some College crews at Oxford, and were under the tuition of a well-known oarsman, great anxiety prevailed as to the result of the race. The Eton crew of the year before was one of the heaviest and strongest that had been known in the School, but most of the best oars had left, and the Eight selected to row were comparatively light weights. However, great faith was reposed in the Captain of the Boats, who was regarded as one of the most perfect oars ever seen, and he had won so many of the races that he was considered invincible. A very close race was eventually rowed, and the fear of being beaten by an inferior antagonist was dispelled. It may always need the stimulus of a great School race to keep up the standard of rowing. Certainly the Henley races have been a great means of substituting good hard rowing and practising for races for the abominable lounging under willow bushes or beer drinking at Surly Hall. Indeed we may confidently assert that it is the Boats principally which keep up the high moral tone of the School, and it is the Boats which, in the Summer Half at least, make athleticism more favoured than epicurean habits. We regret to observe that the Eton Society on the 2nd of March, lS14i, decided that the increasing luxury of Public Schools is not likely to prove prejudicial," but it was to his honour that the Captain of the Boats opened the debate with a speech opposed to that decision, and gave it as his opinion that things have gone too far and the present luxury produces idleness and effeminacy. The last race at Henley, in which Eton very nearly beat the Londoners, after having disposed of two College crews, shews no degeneracy in strength or skill ; and although it so happens that the last University crews have not contained so many Eton men as heretofore, we can only attribute this to accidental causes ; so long as the best Eton oars go to the Universities we may depend on seeing some of their names in the crews at Putney. We do not anticipate that luxurious or expensive habits will prevent the efiiciency of the crews, or take off from the num- bers of boating men. The honour of rowing in the Eight whilst there are likely to be powerful antagonists to contend against, the glory of winning the races rowed among themselves and the dignity which success gives in any game or art of which one is fond, will all make Eton boys xiv INTRODUCTION. what they have always been. It is certain that in these races at Henley Eegatta, Eton must put forth her strength, and though it cannot be ex- pected that her crews wdl always receive the help given to them during the last few years, yet it is to be hoped that the true knowledge of the art of rowing has become so diffused through the Boats that it will never be eradicated ; and that if ever left to themselves, future Captains will be able to train up their crews year-after-year, not inferior to those which have preceded them, and from time-to-time bring home the glorious trophies of their victories. In noticing the principal events connected with the Boats, it should not be out of place to call to mind that the noble game of Cricket has not been neglected by them. That small portion of the playing-fields allotted to " Aquatics " has witnessed almost as keenly contested matches as the river. The Ten-oar has often contained distinguished cricketers and the Boats have sometimes been able to make up Elevens capable of holding their own against very competent antagonists. It was not an unusual thing to have matches between the Boats and Lower Club ; and twice, viz. in 1855 and 1860, the Boats were victorious. In the match of 1855 the Avell-known Joby was umpire, and at the finish he was run across to the river and kicked into the water over the oziers, on account of some sup- posed defect in his judgment. The year 1860 was also remarkable for a tent match played between the Boats and the Officers of the Blues. It poured with rain the wdiole day, but the Officers prevailed on the Head Master not to put a stop to the match, which ended eventually in their defeat. The Captain of the Boats used to play ex officio in the annual cricket match between the Collegers and Oppidans. The pages which follow will recall to old Etonians many a glorious victory, and many a sad, though no inglorious, defeat. And the present boys will find, that, though the races of their predecessors were rowed in boats of a different build from their own, they were not less exciting because they were slow, and that the late successes at Henley Regatta are not the only triumphs the Eights have achieved for the School.

Up with the wine that's sweet ; And Oh ! that some generous ' critter ' Would give us more ducks to eat. III.

The first match rowed by the two Schools took place on Monday, July 27th, and the following is the account as published at the time in Bell's Life : — " Both parties had been sometime in active training — the Eton gentlemen in the Britannia, built by Archer of Lambeth, Jind the Westminster scholars in tlie new Eight, which "was built by Searle for the Cantabs in their late match with the Oxonians at Henley. Heavy betting took place in favour of the Westminster gentlemen previous to the start, and the interest which this juvenile contest excited among the numerous relatives and friends of the contending parties was, perhaps, never surpassed on any similar occasion. The Etonians and their friends arrived at Putney in a commodious carriage^ with four handsome bays; 6 THE ETON BOATING BOOK. the Westminstei scholars in an open barouche, with four greys. Both parties appeared full of confidence. Six o'clock was the hour named for the start to take place from Putney Bridge, to row through Hammer- smith Bridge and down through the centre-arch of Putney Bridge ; but it was some time after that hour before the parties took their stations. It was generally known that Brumwell, of Yauxhall, was to steer the Westminsters ; but nearly up to the period of starting, the amateurs were kept in ignorance as to who was to " take the lines " of the Britannia, and some anxious enquiries were the consequence with those who were desirous of sporting their money on the result. The Etonians pulled up to bridge in broad blue-striped Guernsey frocks and dark straw hats, with blue ribbon — true sailor fashion — with the celebrated Mr. T. Honey, of Lambeth, as coxswain. This latter circumstance had a material effect on the betting, for it was well known that no individual could be ap- pointed to the station, who possessed more scientific knowledge in " handling the lines " than Mr. Honey. The Westminster scholars appeared at the bridge in very neat trim, the whole wearing white shirts and straw hats, Brumwell acting as steerer. The toss for station having been won by the Etonians, Mr. Honey took his place from a pier on the Middlesex side. On the signal being given, they went away in style, accompaided along the whole line of the towing-path by between forty and fifty gentlemen on horseback, the majority of whom wore a piece of blue ribbon in a button-hole of their coats. The Westminster gentlemen went ahead at starting by about a boat's length, and continued the lead up the river for nearly half a mile, when the Etonians came opposite their opponents, and by some well-timed exertions on the part of the rowers, and a degree of science on that of the coxswain, the Britannia was brought out in a slanting direction ; and notwithstanding the skill displayed by Brumwell, who nearly succeeded in bringing the nose of his boat on the quarter of that of the opposite party, as she was shooting by, the Eton gentlemen went well ahead, and maintained it throughout the distance, gallantly winning by above a quarter of a mile."

In case any of the crew should be unable to row in the race, there were "Choices out;" that is, in the case of Sixes, 13th, 16th, &c. This race has since changed into Upper and Lower Eights, but it was the origin of Choices." 8 THE ETON BOATING J500K. UPPER SIXES. St. George — Eton Side. I . Ackers 3. Eyre 5. Eoupell 7. Daniell 9.

WESTMINSTER, (May 13th, 1831,) This race was rowed on Thursday, May 13th, 1831, at Maidenhead, the course being from the bridge to Queen's Eyot, below Monkey Island, and back. A short time after four, the gentlemen of Eton pulled up to the scratch in the Britamiia, built by Honey and Archer, and their antagonists in Mr. Roberts' boat, called the Challenge. At this period many of the friends of the contending parties had arrived in carriages and on horseback, and lined the towing-path, which, added to the propitious state of the weather, and the vast assemblage of the spectators, presented an interesting scene. The Etonians won the toss, and took their position at the Eton side of the river — the stern of their boat being against a punt-pole ; the Westminsters were similarly stationed on the opposite side. At half-past four the preliminaries were adjusted, and the signal was given. The Etonians started beautifully, their advantageous position enabling them to get into complete swing in a fevv strokes, and they took the lead of the Westminsters, who, not being so well in the stream, hung back, which seemed to flurry them. The Etonians maintained the lead all the way down by about four or five boats' lengths, and rounding a pole, with a flag fixed on it, returned against the stream, when the Eton gentlemen gradually increased in advantage, and ultimately came in about a quarter of a mile in advance of the scholars of Westminster. It would be in vain to attempt to describe the feeling that was manifested at the result of the match. The cheering was almost deafening. The distance was about six miles, and it was accomplished in about 45 mins. Mr. E. Carter, of Eton, was Umpire, and the following is a list of the crews : — Eton. 1 . Tunnard 2. Lowndes 3. Wood 4.

Mr. Pickering's and the School pulled the old way, the Eton Side boat crossing at the Brocas Clump. But in the Lower Sixes the boat on Eton Side kept its side all the way, and the boat on Windsor Side did not cross till they got round Bargeman's Bush, to the usual place for Long Boats. This was found much fairer, being a great deal more even as to the Sides* 22 THE ETON BOATING BOOK. Sculling Sweepstakes, (June 29tli.)

This race took place at Staines, on Thursday, May 12th, The dis- tance rowed was from JStaines Bridge to Penton Hook and back — about four miles altogether. Lord Orford and Captain Ackers, of the Blues, were appointed Umpires. About four o'clock the Etonians appeared in 24 THE ETON BOATING BOOK, rowing trim in the Victory, a new boat built by Archer, of Bishop's Walk, Lambeth. The young gentlemen of Westminster came to Staines in a new eight, called the Fany Queen, bailt of hr, expressly for the occasion, by Noulton and Maynard, the well-known watermen, the former taking the lines for his patrons. It was evident, even at a cursory glance, that the Etonians had the decided superiority in weight and strength, and betting was in their favour. Westminster won the choice of station, and they took the south pier of Staines Bridge. Previous to starting, it was agreed upon that no fouling should take place until half a mile of the distance had been rowed. On going away from the bridge the West- minsters went in advance, which position they kept for about a quarter of a mile, Eton pressing them closely, Noulton had by this time steered the Fairy Queen over to the course the Etonians were pursuing, and he bored them so closely in shore that they were obliged either to foul the Westminsters or go into the bank. A foul consequently took place, which lasted five or six minutes, ending in the discomfiture of the Fairy Queen, who had her rudder struck olf, an oar broken, and was turned completely round. The Etonians went away with a cheer, but the Umpires, considering that an infringement of the agreement had taken place, called them back to a fresh start, which they immediately complied with. At six o'clock they started froui the bridge a second time, with an understanding that each boat should keep its ow^n side of the water for half a mile. The Fairy Queen again took the lead, which she held for about three-quarters of a mile, w^hen the Etonians came upon them, and some smart fouling was the result. Eton at length cleared, and showed the way down the stream. In rounding the distance boat they were close together, and immediately after doubling the station punt the Westminsters came alongside and fouled. Eton shortly cleared, but in going away the Westminsters caught them on the starboard quarter, which nearly put the Victory into the bank stern up. The Etonians, however, shortly cleared themselves from this awkward situation, and once more went in advance ; and notwithstanding they were occasionally bumped by the Fairy Queen in working up against the stream, they maintained the lead, ultimately winning by several boats' lengths. The match proved a treat throughout, by the spirited and gallant manner in which it was contested by both parties. The crews were : — Eton. Westminstee. I. Wyndham I. Astley 2. Croft 2. Balston 3.

WESTMINSTER. This race took place at Datchet on Thursday, May 4th, in the presence of King William IV., from the Bridge to the New Lock — a distance of 28 THE ETON BOATING BOOK. about a mile and a quarter and back again. Messrs. Mayne and Eellowes were appointed to act as Umpires, the former for Westminster and the latter for Eton. The toss for choice of station having been won by Eton they w^ent to the Bucks side. The following are the names of the crews : — Eton. 1 . Rayer * 2. T. H. Fellows 3. Fane 4. H. Morgan 5. W. Rogers 6. E. Boscawen 7. Croft W. J. Garnett, Stroke A. Shadwell, Cox. Westminster. 1. J. T.

The Westminsters rowed in a boat built by Searle, called the HaidSe ; * the Etonians in the Britannia, by Archer of Lambeth. The report then states that, on the signal being given, the Westminsters dashed in ad- vance, and in passing His Majesty's carriage, which was stationed about 150 yards from the Bridge, they were at least half a boat's length ahead. At the corner of the Park wall, and nearly opposite Mr. Fowler's cot- tage, the Etonians came more into the middle of the stream, and evidently made a strong pull, in the liope of catching their opponents on the quarter, but they were wide of the mark, and dropped full the length of their boat in the wake of the Westminsters. BotL parties were loudly cheered on to increased exertion, and in turning at the New Lock the Etonians doubled their boat with greater dexterity than their antagonists, and the consequence was that they brought the nose of their cutter bang on to the sixth oar of the Westminsters, w^ho would have shipped some water had not young Lord Somerton bore the Haidee up by leaning over on the opposite side. The starboard forward men on board the Britannia were ordered to make as much way as possible, while those on the lar- board backed water, and by these means the Etonians were foiled in turning the opposition party in shore, and both parties came along-side of each other. After about two minutes manoeuvring, the Westminsters got away, closely pressed by Eton, who quickly came again on their quarter, but could not succeed in their object, for the Westminsters, evidently by superior strength, and with their backs well laid down to their work, drew ahead, and ultimately won by between three and four lengths, amid the almost deafening cheers of their friends. It was the first time the Westminsters ever beat the Etonians. This was almost the last time the King appeared in public, and the Eton Boys believed that their defeat was the immediate cause of the King's illness.

Egan, the coxswain of the Cambridge Subscription- Room Boat, to start the race, the competitors paddled to their stations. The words ' Are you ready ? Off!' were no sooner uttered, than away went the Etonians, the Westminsters remaining behind, their coxswain having dropped his line ; but not one oar was pulled through the water. It became necessary, therefore, to recall the light blue of the THE ETON BOATING BOOK. 45 Brocas, and re-start the Tnatch. It was ascertained that the line attached to the buoy held by the Eton boat was several yards longer than the Westminster one, which was observed by the Umpire and altered, and hence the stoppage of the latter crew. On the starter's voice being again heard, off went Etonian and Westminster, Cantab and Metropolitan, the former having a slight advantage, obtained possibly by their greater phy- sical power ; but on getting well into play, the golden rule of take the lead and keep it was remembered by the Goolden crew, and with a dash- ing stroke the Westminsters jumped their boat up to their opponents, and shortly struggled into the pride of place, being clear ahead of them off the osier bed, near the house that formerly belonged to ZofFany, the painter. Both boats now were capitally steered, and rattling away at a delightful pace. The Westminsters drew their boat in and took the course of the Etonians, and down to the middle of Mortlake no change took place in the relative positions of the boats, both parties doing their best in return for the loud and hearty cheers of their friends. At Mort- lake, however, by reason of the Westminsters hugging the shore a little too closely, and thus giving their opponents, who were outside, the greater advantages of tide, the Etonians were observed to start up to Westminster No. 7, and had they boldly struck more into the tideway, we feel that, although victory might not perhaps have crowned their subsequent efforts with success, the result would have been nearer. As it however turned out, the Westminsters not only held their own, but on arriving at Barnes were well ahead, perhaps a boat's length, and went on increasing their advantage, till entering the centre arch of Putney Bridge they were proclaimed the victors, doing the distance in 38 mins. and beating the Etonians by 35 seconds.

At the time appointed (six o'clock) the signal was givcm, and the West- minsters made a more rapid start, and generally in execution shewed an advantage over their opponents ; but the slight lead they obtained was of short duration, for their powerful antagonists slowly but surely took the ' pride of place ' away from their comparatively diminutive antagonists. By the time they had reached Pinch's Grand Stand, Eton was at least a length and a half ahead, and at the termination of the race the Etonians proved victorious by about 45 sees.

The betting was exceedingly varied, for in some places the friends of the Etonians ^vere backing them at 6 to 4, while in others the Westminsters were the favourites. In the construction of the boats and appearance of the ' tools ' there was no comparison. The Eton cutter, by Goodman, was rather on the antique principle, for her flaring topsides put us in mind of those that were built in bygone times. It was however by no means considered a bad boat for a provincial. The Westminsters ap- peared in a new outrigger, flfty-five feet m length and about two and a half in the beam, constructed by Noulton. Mr. Selwyn, an old Etonian, and for many years the stroke oarsman of the Queen Bess at Trinity College, Cambridge, and who was rowed by a mixed crf^w of Westminsters and Etonians, took the lines as Umpire. Mr. Burton, J^eur., formerly stroke of the Westminster boat, tossed with Mr. Luttrell for choice of stations, and winning, the Westudnster took the outside, or Surrey side. The start was efiected at 25 minutes past two, and no sooner was the word given than the Etonians took the lead, getting off in clean style ; whereas the Westminsters, probably from the smallness of their boat, appeared to roll a little, so that Nos. 7 and 5 oai-s jumped out of the rowlocks. On their little coxswain, however, giving the w^ord 'steady,' they laid down to their long dragging stroke, appearing little concerned at their opponents having drawn a boat's length ahead. The short snatching stroke of Eton, however, did not live long against the long drag of the West- minsters, and a third of a mile had not been rowed l)efore they were oar- and-oar with their opponents ; and on the coxswain exclaiming ' Pick her up for a few^ strokes,' the Westminsters went right by them, amid cheers almost deafening, and the excitement that prevailed beggars de- scription. After this the Westminsters continued their course at an extremely rapid pace, gradually increasing their advantage, and eventually winning by one minute and five seconds, and doing the distance in 26 minutes. The Etonians palled an extremely stern wager, for which they were heartily cheered by all present on their arrival at Putney, and by none more so than the Westminster party.

" It will scarcely be believed — we can hardly realise it ourselves — that since the year 1847 up to the present race (1860) the Eton and West- minster Match has been a blank. Much has been written, more has THE ETON BOATING BOOK. 117 been said, and perhaps most of all has been thought on this subject, and from time-to-time influential men have even stirred to action in the en- deavour to restore it, but always without success. It is not our province, nor, indeed, would it be a matter of much interest, to trace further than the cursory manner above, the difficulties which were invariably thrown in the way, or the arguments used for their removal ; let it be sufficient that we have our match once more, and let us hope that the manner in which it has been conducted from the beginning to its honourable con- clusion will be the best proof of its propriety. When early in the year it was resolved by the authorities that the time had arrived whose signs unmistakably demanded the renewal of the match, two gentlemen were selected to whose care and discretion the whole of the preliminary ar- rangements were confided. These were Mr. J. W. Chitty, of Exetej College, Oxford, and an old Etonian, for Eton, and Mr. John Wiight, of St, John's College, Cambridge, and an old Westminster, for West- minster; and by them, among other things, it was decided to shorten the distance which had formerly been rowed, fixing on the course from Putney Bridge to a flag-boat moored olf the top of Chiswick Eyot, being somewhat about 2i miles. Eton rowed in the boat built by Matthew Taylor of Newcastle in which they defeated Eadley College at Henley in 1858, and they are greatly indebted for their good form to the pains for a long time bestowed on their rowing by Mr. Edmond W^arre, Eellow of All Souls, Oxford, and formerly a distinguished member of the O.U.B.C. For the Westminster crew Mr. John Wright had done much as well in the selection of their men as in their subsequent training and practice ; and Mr. Edward Searle built them a new boat expressly for the occasion. Mr. J. W. Chitty acted as Umpire, an office which he has for some years filled at the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Eace. The names of the crews were as follow : — Eton. Westminster. St. lbs. St. lbs. I. H. Garnett ... .. 9 6 I. W. E. W.Williams . 7 12 2. Lord Boringdon .. 9 12 2. A. R. Tomlinson . 9 11 3. R. Kinglake ... .. 10 3 3- A. 0. Onslow ... . 10 2 4. G. Crowder ... .. 10 4 4- J. C.

Yates, Cox, . 6 8 The eventful day (August 3rd) broke, as, alas ! too many have before it this summer, by no means propitiously, and as the time for the race approached, the sky became of that gloomy cast which betokened rain. On arrival at Putney there were no less than six boats to accompany the match, viz. the Umpire's boat, the new Yictoria, Captain Bean, the Childe Harold, the Yenus, Citizen L, Citizen E, and another ; the attend- ance, besides, on shore was very numerous. At a little after half-past ii8 THE ETON BOATING BOOK. three the rain began to descend, and at the same moment the Etonians rowed out from Simmonds', There were good pace and form with them, and as they passed the various steamboats a great cheer arose from their partisans. The Westminster men were very tardy in coming to the scratch, and, when they appeared, their rowing was quick, but it seemed to lack something and to fall off from what it had been during their training. Eton won the toss, and took up their station on the Middlesex side, Westminster close to them, and Mr. Edward Searle in the middle, as starter. A few minutes before four o'clock they got off at a great pace, with very little tide under them. Westminster were liveliest, and for an instant led by a few feet, but in the next two strokes they were level and rowing a desperate race, which, however, only lasted at most two hundred yards ; then Eton began to shew unmistakable signs of drawing away, and their pulling was so effective that they passed the Star and Garter, leading by half their own length. The Etonians were now taken inside the various craft, and right along shore ; the Westminsters outside but more in the tideway (both boys steering remarkably well), but this did not at all alter the state of the race ; the excellent rowing in the Eton boat showed that they must win, and although the Westminsters pulled very pluckily, they were gradually left astern, till at the point, the Etonians were leading by more than a clear length. Both were very fast at this part of the race, Eton rowing 38 strokes per minute, Westminster between 39 and 40 ; in the same even and good style the Eton men passed the Crab Tree four or five lengths ahead, in 6 minutes 15 seconds from the start, and under Hammersmith Bridge, where both had to put the rudder round hard, having gone close along the Surrey shore, and which was reached in about 8 minutes 50 seconds, the Etonians led by upwards of half a dozen lengths. The stroke in the Westminster's crew here put on one of the finest spurts ever seen, and had it been answered to by all as well as it was by those immediately behind him, the gap between the boats would have been considerably decreased; as it was, however, the Eton men only went further away the further they had to go, and reached the winning post at the top of Ciiisvvick Eyot 50 seconds in advance of the Westminsters, the time being 13 minutes 55 seconds. We feel bound to say that neither crew was in any part of the course at all jeoparded by the accompanying steamers, the captains of which behaved in a most fair and praiseworthy manner, and we hope that this very desirable rule will be carried out on all future occasions." Mr. E. Warre, on account of winning this race, has presented the Captain of the Boats, and all who succeed him, with a Pair- oared Out- rigger, on the conditions that : — 1. No one but the Captain of the Boats shall use it unless with express permission, but that Mr. Warre shall always have it when he wishes it. THE ETON BOATING BOOK. 119 2. It ehall start in no race. 3. No one shall be taken out in it until lie has obtained proficiency in the art of rowing ; a bad oar must first be instructed in gigs, and the pair oar must accomplish the finishing him ofic. 4. It must be kept in good order, varnished and repaired when required ; and 5. Used only for purposes of instruction or especial practice. This boat was given with a view to encourage pair-oared rowing without steerers and paved the way to the change which was made in 1863. Lower Boat Choices. Moore E. W. Chapman Lord Newry Kinglake 1.

The Boats this year gave up Check Nights and Oppidan Dinner,* in consequence of which the Head Master (Doctor Goodfoud) gave the * On Check Nights the Upper Boats rowed up to Surly Hall after Six in their 4th of June dresses, and, on arriving there, sat down to a dinner of Ducks and Green Peas with Champagne, &c. After dinner, toasts were proposed and drank, and at 8 o'clock they started to row down again. At Bargeman's Bush they were met by the Lower Boats, also in their 4th of June dresses, and a procession was formed which rowed under Windsor Bridge, round the Eyot, and then in to the Bafts. Oppidan Dinner took place at the end of the Summer Half. The Upper Boats, the Captains of the Lower Boats, the Cricket Eleven, the Captain of the School, and a few other Swells were invited by the Captain of the Boats. It was held at the White Hart, and began after four and lasted till Lock-up, but the party had to break up for 6 o'clock absence, and then re-assemble.

That not more than the crews of two Eights or the Ten-oar and one Eight can avail themselves of the privilege at the same time. 2. That the Captains of the crews be severally responsible for the conduct of their crew, and the senior of two Captains, when two boats avail themselves of the Bill, be responsible for both crews. 3. That the Bill will in no case be granted unless the Captain or one of the Captains of the boat or boats for it be in the first eight Choices in the Boats. (When the Eight is in training the next eight Choices may apply for a Bill). 4. That a correct list of such Choices shall be sent in by the Captain of the Boats at the beginning of every Summer Half to the Head Master. 5. That crews availing themselves of this privilege are bound in honour to row beyond Maidenhead Lock. 6. As landing on the Cliefden side of the water above Maidenhead has been forbidden to the public by the proprietors of the land, the crews are bound not to trespass by landing on this or any other private property, without being expressly invited by persona entitled to do so. 7. That no old Etonian or any one not a present Etonian be allowed to go up in either boat. 8. That the First Captain, or whoever is responsible for those availing themselves of the privilege, shall give a correct list to the Head Master before setting out. As this privilege is granted for the benefit of Rowing, and for the en- couragement of a manly pursuit of that amusement, let all who avail themselves of it consider that they are bound in honour to carry out the conditions in the spirit and the letter. 126 THE ETON BOATING BOOK.

The Eton and Westminster Race.* The results of last year's race had disproved the groundless fears and objections that for an interval of thirteen years prevented this interesting contest, and the authorities of both Schools seem to take an active interest in its revival. About twenty minutes to eleven the two crews paddled to their posts, Mr. J. W. Ohitty acting as Umpire. The Westminsters had won the toss, and chose the Middlesex shore. As they paddled up towards the Bridge they were greeted with loud cheers by their friends and admirers. The Westminsters were the first, but rather disappointed us in their style. The bodies were not together, and though the oars touched the water at the same time, yet the power of the stroke was not applied by the whole eight at the same moment. However, the crew seemed strong and to lay it on with a will ; their stroke was perfection, and our hopes of seeing a race were not altogether gone. The Eton crew rowed up to the post in good style and form, and the boat danced away at the beginning of every stroke in such a way as to tell of the right thing done at the right moment, and the beginning of the stroke caught well * From BelVs Life. THE ETON BOATING BOOK. 127 togetlier. The eye of the practised oarsmen was pleased as it looked at the polished form of No. 3 and the well forward reach of the stroke, and the whole crew certainly looked like winners.

Westminster shewed a little in fi'ont for the first four strokes, and then it was seen that Eton, with the dash that has characterised their rowing for the last two years, must inevitably win. Four more strokes and the light blue shewed a quarter of a boat's length in front ; before they arrived at the first corner two lengths were between the boats, and, notwithstanding the plucky rowing of Westminster, the distance visibly increased. At Hammersmith Bridge, Westminster put on a spurt, but all in vain, for the Eton crew were rowing within themselves, and finished as they liked, with about seven or eight lengths to spare. The time was about 13i minutes, but owing, by some oversight, to there being no flag to mark the finish, and the boats stopping at different places, the exact time for the proper course could not be taken. This year a new boat was built by Matthew Taylor of Newcastle-upon- Tyne for Henley Eegatta and the Westminster race, which has since been proved to be one of the fastest boats ever made. She was regularly used for the Henley race until 1872, when a new boat was built by Messrs. Salter on the same lines as nearly as could be. Pieces of the old boat are preserved by many of those who rowed in her. Upper Boat Choices. E. H. Blake-Humfrey 1. Lord Boringdon 2. Lawes 3. Kinglake 4. Orme 5. Parker 6. Mort 7. Senhouse 8.

They had drawn the worst station, and the Oxford Etonians looked very formidable, but there is no doubt that if they could not win they would have made a very close race of it. Eadley have never beaten Eton, but they may say that, on this occasion, Eton was afraid of them. Benson's. Dobree Currey Locke Thornhill, Stroke Elliot, Cox. Upper Fours, (June 27tli). Lewis'. 1.

They started in a slight flurry, but soon drew into an even stroke, and joined in the fray with Oxford and Cambridge. Brasenose held command one- half the course, Cambridge, well up, second, with Eton hanging on their quarters. At the end of the first mile Eton, by dint of steady pulling, drew ahead of Cambridge, and threatened to deprive Brasenose of their lead. The latter, in crossing towards their rivals, accidentally fouled Cambridge, and were signalled by the umph^es to stop. Eton at the same moment dashed past the Cantabs in grand style, and, amid the cheers of the spec- tators, landed the winners by two lengths. Time — Smins. 5secs." Third Heat.

Twice before an actual start was made the boats were almost blown away from their stations by the sti'ong wind that was driving down the river, and twice were the London recalled to their post. When at length * Old Etonians. 214 THE ETON BOATING BOOK. the signal was given, favoured by the shelter and still water of the Buck- inghamshire shore, the Eton boys, who were in better form than tLey have ever appeared at Henley, rushed right aliead, and keeping their own true course were soon nearly three lengths to the fore. Meanwhile Thames and London, nearly close together on the opposite side of the river, were rowing a very hard race, Thames having slightly the lead over the other eight. At the top of the bay London rowed down Thames, and began gradually to draw towaids Eton, but the boys, maintaining the very fast stroke of not less than 42 to the minute, at which they had started, held their advantage without flinching. London made very little improvement in their position, until the poplar point was reached. Thames were now beaten, and were steering very wide, while Eton, find- ing it requisite to cross from the Bucks to the Berkshire side, gave London, who were able to continue their straight course, a distinct ad- vantage. This they were able to retain to the end. Li the last three hundred yards Eton made a tremendous eff'ort, and were again fast draw- ing upon the London ; but the distance to be travelled w^s now too short, and the light blue boys were beaten by half a length after one of the best races ever seen.

Thornhill broke the blade of his oar badly in the collision, but notwithstanding this disadvantage, by good water- manship, he managed to come in second, and so get a place in the Final Heat.

Before the start, Croft and Cunard were considered from their previous performance to be almost sure of success, but some thought that Sandbach or Wilson might make their victory a hard one. At the start, Cunard and Croft took the lead, with Sandbach and Mulholland not far behind : almost directly, however, the latter broke an oar, and consequently retired from the scene of action. Cunard and Croft, meanwhile, increased their lead from Wilson and Phillips, until Eailway Bridge, where, by bad steering, they lost ground. Prom this point, the tln'ce boats maintained their relative positions as far as Hashes, where Wilson spurted and nearly overlapped the winners : but upon turning the rye-peck Cunard gained a decided advantage, which was, however, somewhat diminished by the erratic course which he took as far as Athens. The race was never in doubt from this point, and Cunard won by 3 or 4 lengths ; Thornhill and Novelli being some way behind Wilson and Phillips. Time — 20mins. 50secs. Lower Fours. This race was rowed on Tuesday, May 18th. The crews were : — Cunard's — Windsor. Sir S. Crossley's — Mid-8tr.\ S. S ^i^db AC h's— Eton. J. Wilson, Strolfe 3. Grenville-Grey 2. Coode mi.

The Collegers have had a six, four, or eio-ht-oared boat on the river for many years, formerly they were only allowed to use the river from Windsor Bridge to Datchet ; but in the year 1840 it was publicly an- nounced in Upper School by the Head Master (Dr. Hawtrey) that they were to row above tlie Bridge. Since that time they have pulled up to Surly Hall and Monkey Island, the same as the Oppidans, although they have not until quite lately contended in the same races with them, or rowed in the same boats. The only races of any interest they are recorded to have rowed will be found below ; and besides these it does not appear that they had any but some Scratch Pours, and that only of late years. The Challenge Cups for the Pulling were procured in 1852 by means of a subscription got up by Wasey-Sterry, and some good racing has been the result. Considering the few College " Wet-Bobs " it is very satisfactory to find that there has been an entry of from four to seven Pairs every year with the exception of 1857, when for some reason or other no race was rowed. The Cups were however engraved with the names of Wilson ma. and Wilson mi. in that year, but there is no account of how this mistake occurred. A number of rules were drawn up in 1853 by Waud, Marillier, and Buckle to regulate this race. By these (among other things) it is provided that a committee of three should be chosen from the Sixth Porm and Liberty at the commencement of the Summer school-time for the direction of the race, no two of whom might enter for it together. The Prizes to be given to the winners were to be a Pair of silver-gilt Oars and a silver- gilt Steerage to the Coxswain ; and to the second boat a Pair of silver Oars and a silver Steerage. The Coxsvvains must have been Collegers if possible ; but if it were proved that no efficient Colleger could be found, an Oppidan might be chosen. The power to determine any complaint on the subject of an Oppidan Coxswain, and all other objections, being reserved for the committee. It does not appear that any race has been rowed between Collegers and Oppidans, although a four-oared race might fairly have been got up in some years, without a prospect of its being by any means a hollow aifair. In 1856 a match was proposed between Mr. Carter's Pour and College, but it was declined by the latter on the ground of being in fact a Colleger and Oppidan race. There is no record of any other event in College Aquatics which deserves notice until the year 1864, which is memorable as the first in which a College Eight made its appearance on the river. Marsden, who pulled Stroke of this Eight, had the honour of rowing number 4 in the Eight ot the School in their contest with Westminster in the same year. Since that time a College Eight has alw^ays joined in the procession of the Boats 222 THE ETON BOATING BOOK. on the Pourth of June and Election Saturday. Owing to the improve- ment thus effected in their rowing, and the increased numbers of College ** Wet-Bobs," it was manifest that the Oppidans could no longer fail to acknowledge that they might fairly claim to be put on the same terms with them on the river, as they had already been in the Cricket and Foot- ball matches; and accordingly in 1868 all the races whicli hitherto had been confined to " the Boats " were opened to them. It followed as a natural consequence that they should at last be allowed to join the Boats, and in 1869 an additional boat was put on. College Aquatics have thus become merged into the Oppidan Boats, and there is no doubt that the strength gained by this important move- ment will most materially benefit the rowing of the School. It w^as high time that the last distinction between Collegers and Oppidans in the sports of the School should be abolished, and though a healthy rivalry may long be kept up between them, no diflcrence should be recognised to exist, where in fact both can contend on equal terms. 1839.
