The Universities' Boat-Race: on the lawn of the Lyric Club, Barnes, 1890. Students' rowing race on the River Thames in London. 'The annual eight-oar race, on the Thames from Putney to Mortlake, between the picked crews of the Oxford and Cambridge University Boat Clubs was rowed on Wednesday, March 26, in the afternoon, and resulted in the victory of the Oxford crew. Portraits of the members of both crews, with their names and colleges and the weight of each man, were published in the last Number of this Journal; but Mr. T. W. Northmore, of Queens' College, was substituted for Mr. Laidlay as coxswain of the Cambridge boat. The umpire was Mr. R. Lewis Lloyd, of Magdalene College, Cambridge; and Mr. F. Fenner, of the London Rowing Club, acted as judge at the winning-post at Mortlake. The time of day appointed for the race, half past four in the afternoon, allowed many spectators of the leisurely and fashionable classes to assemble in such privileged situations as the lawn of the Lyric Club, and in reserved grounds on the banks of the river. The weather, though uncertain as usual in spring, was mild and genial, with bright warm sunshine and a soft westerly breeze'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
