• 8 days: Thu 19 – Fri 27 May 1870
• Notes from Sherwood
  • First night: Oriel ran into St. Edmund Hall, who were lying bumped in the bank, Magdalen bumped Oriel, and New College had to easy, as had St. Mary Hall. When they got clear these two boats were level, but New College managed to escape before St. Mary Hall could bump them.
  • Second night: The stroke of Trinity broke an oar and jumped overboard, but, as there were two bumps below them, they managed to escape.
