"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]

"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]

"Quintin were half a length ahead at Fawley and, continuing to gain, won by a length" [HRR]

"Quintin led out and were half a length up at Fawley in 3min 45 sec. They continued to forge ahead" [The Times]

"London led by a canvas at the first signal and by half a length at the second. At Fawley Quintin were just in front. At the third signal London had regained the lead and held it up to the Mile Post. A great race followed in which Quintin struggled home by a quarter of a length" [HRR]

"The second heat of the Thames Cup was another great fight between Metropolitan clubs. Both started at 40 and were level at the First Signal, then London got half a length at Fawley. Quintin spurted, however, and got a slight lead at the Mile Post, which they just managed to keep till the finish, winning by a quarter of a length. Both crews rowed in good form, and the swing of the Quintin stroke was particularly noticeable." [The Times]

(Note that the two sources disagree about who was leading at Fawley.)

"Thames went away from the Start, led by two lengths at Fawley and won by three lengths" [HRR]

"The other race resulted in an easy victory for Thames. Starting at 38 on the Bucks Station to Quintin's 38, they went away from the start, led by two lengths at Fawley, and won by three lengths" [The Times]

(Distance recorded as "very easily by three lengths" in The Times)
