• Date of first race not given, then Fri 7, Mon 10 and Fri 14 June
• From Sherwood's notes:

  • Knollys brings Exeter out to the end, above Brasenose
  • A fifth race was postponed on account of the weather, but Queen's refused to row on the day fixed upon, as not originally a race night.
  • The rebumping is accounted for by changes in the crews
  • The Exeter book is wrong this year.

• Also from the main text of Sherwood

  We have a picture of the finish of the Eights. Christ Church, the head boat, seem to have shipped their oars, and 'bow' will be seen standing up with a boat-hook in hand.

  The [Picture] is on the thames.me.uk section on [1830s Oxford Rowing]
