• 6 days: Thu 25 Feb – Wed 3 March 1875.
• Probably two divisions, as the previous year, but unclear where the division boundary lay.

• Notes from Sherwood

  Third day: A tailor in a punt smashed the Queen's boat just as they were going down for the race; in consequence of which they lost a place to Balliol.

  Keble II having followed Keble I up for two nights, and made all their bumps earlier than the first boat, on the last night the two crews changed places in the hope of bringing off a bump missed by the first crew the night before. They overlapped, but did not bump. [On the bumps chart this is marked as Keble II bumping Keble I on the Tuesday]
