"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 1 1/8 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.)
