Distance Barrier Fawley Finish
Wed 3 July lost to London ½ L 2.03* 3.30 7.24

"London Rowing Club were three-quarters of a length down on Quintin at the barrier, and led by six feet at the mile post, winning by half a length." [The Times]

"Quintin led by ½ length at the ¼ mile and 1/3 length at the ½ mile. London were level by Fawley and led by ¼ length at the Mile and by ½ length at the 1⅛ mile." [HRR]

(In the semi-final, London lost to the eventual winners by only ¾ length – implying that Quintin were only 1¼ lengths away from winning the Thames Cup.)
