Summary
After the lapse of some years, the second Race between the sister Universities took place on the 17th of June, 1836, and was rowed in heavy soaking rain. Cambridge won the toss. One of the crew remarks : “ The start was made too late, causing the tide to be against us in the half of Battersea Reach, and therefore making the contest an unusually severe one, as you may gather from the return of that race, the time of which exceeded any other (from this cause) over the same course.” The Cambridge Boat came in easily one minute before her opponent, it having taken about 36 minutes to row the six miles under these adverse circumstances.
The names of the crews were as follows:
Cambridge.
W. Hammond Solly, 1st Trinity.
R S. Green, Caius.
E. S. Stanley, Jesus.
Percival Hartley, Trin. Hall.
Warren M. Jones, Caius.
John H. Keane, 1st Trinity.
Arthur W. Upcher, 2nd Trinity.
Augustus K. B. Granville, Corpus.
Coxswain, Thos. Selby Egan, Caius.
Oxford.
George Carter, St John's.
Edward Stephens, Exeter.
William Baillie, Ch. Ch.
T. Harris, Magd.
Justinian Vere Isham, Ch. Ch.
John Pennefather, Balliol.
Fred. Luttrell Moysey, Ch. Ch.
Coxswain, E. W. L. Davies, Jesus.
Life-rate of the Crews
The years of life enjoyed and expected collectively by these 16 men after the Race may be estimated at 681 instead of the average 640 years, and the individual lives at 42.5, instead of 40 years. In respect to longevity, therefore, the prospects of life of the crews were decidedly good.
