Oxford and Cambridge Universities' Boat-Race - Cambridge crew at practice: last row on the Cam, 1890. 'The annual contest between the picked University Boat Club champions of Oxford and Cambridge, on the Thames from Putney to Mortlake, being appointed this year for Wednesday afternoon, March 26, their rowing practice, day after day, over the same piece of water, occasioned much observation. The rival crews, on Saturday morning, March 15, rowed up on the same tide, the Oxford crew first, and the Cambridge crew three quarters of an hour later, when the ebb-tide was running stronger against them, so that they took a few seconds longer than the Oxford crew to row the whole course. Our Illustration, however, is that of the last practice of the Cambridge men on their own river, the Cam, before they came to London'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
