"Quintin Rowing Club [sic] edged ahead of Frankfurter Rudergesellschaft Germania von 1869, Germany to lead by a canvas at the quarter mile but by only three feet at the Barrier. They led by a quarter of a length at Fawley and, rowing stroke for stroke, the crews battled it out over the rest of the course with Quintin winning by three quarters of a length." [HRR]
