"Quintin … extended [Harvard] fully, leading by a quarter of a length at the quarter mile, and by a third of a length at the Barrier. Harvard then gradually closed up and drew level at Fawley. At the three quarter mile they led by six feet, at the Mile by a third of a length, and at the mile and an eighth by a quarter of a length. Here Quintin spurted to 38, but they could not get back on terms." [HRR]
