Summary
The University Race of 1845 took place at an unusually late hour on Saturday the 15th of March, 1845. The weather was freezingly cold and the water lumpy, but the bitter wind was somewhat in favour of the rival Crews. This was the first year in which the Race was rowed over the present course.
The Cambridge Boat drew slowly ahead, and finally won by 30 seconds; time, 23 minutes 30 seconds.
The names of the Crews were as follows:
Cambridge.
Gerard Mann, Caius.
W. Harkness, St John's.
W. S. Lockhart, Christ's.
W. P. Cloves, 1st Trin.
F. M. Arnold, Caius.
Robert Harkness, St John's.
J. Richardson, 1st Trin.
C. G. Hill, 2nd Trin.
Coxswain, H. Munster, 1st Trin.
Oxford.
Mark Haggard, Ch. Ch.
W. Chetwynd Stapylton, Merton.
William H. Milman, Ch. Ch.
Henry Lewis, Pembroke.
W. Buckle, Oriel.
F. C. Royds, Brasenose.
F. Maitland Wilson, Ch. Ch.
F. E. Tuke, Brasenose.
Coxswain, F. J. Richards, Merton.
Life-rate of the Crews
Collectively, the lives of these sixteen Oarsmen will not, according to my calculations, extend over more than 561 instead of 640 years after the Race; while their individual life-rate will be only 35 years. Hence, in the aggregate, the rowers will probably live 79 years less than ordinarily healthy men, each man on an average falling short of his tale of days by some five years.
