"Henley, rowing 37 to Quintin's 40, were half a length ahead at the top of the Island and increased this to three-quarters by Fawley. Soon after Quintin began to go up and were only a canvas behind at the mile. From there it was a good race, Quintin getting home by 3 feet" [HRR] "There was a magnificent race between Quintin and Henley. The local crew, although rowing a slower stroke, led the Chiswick club to the Enclosure, but by never more than three-quarters of a length. Quintin finished very strongly and, after a thrilling race, they won by 3ft," [The Times] "Henley rowed 37 and Quintin 40 in the first minute. Henley went away steadily and were half-a-length ahead at the top of the Island and they had increased their lead to two-thirds of a length at Fawley, reached in 3min 46 sec. Quintin began to gain slowly and lasting better than Henley they won a fine race" [The Times] | |||||
