The Wooden and Wire racquets were both won by Harrison, but of course he could only take one, as he chose the Wooden.
Williams took the Wire.

Shrove Tuesday was a most eventful day for the “College Cook”. Mon QS having brought up the hour the fellows proceeded to get places for the “Grease”. The cook came threw & missed. Then from the fellows’ hands books went, nor did they miss. The cook in a rage threw his pan into the crowd and hit one of the Monitors above the eye, but didn’t do much damage. Scott then stopped the books & the cook went down-school. We lost a late Play in consequence of this most proper infliction of punishment, since it was the 2nd year of missing on the part of the cook.

To account for the absence of the “Harrow” & Eton matches, this year, I must record that Scott would not allow the fellows in the “Play” to play football after a certain day – before which day it was impossible to play them.

The Play this year was Ter. Phormio, & all the parts were remarkably well sustained.

The T. B. & QS. match-
Came off in the Play Half this year & resulted after an exciting game in favour of the QS. Harrison having taken a long shot, was aided by a tremendous wind and managed to send the ball just below the string.

The Charterhouse Football Match was decided in favour of Westminster two goals to one. Westminster had the strongest team by far: but Charterhouse having placed 3 men in goals it was almost impossible to obtain one.

The course was from Chiswick Eyot to a boat moored opposite the Star and Garter Putney. Eton won the choice of Station and took the Surrey side by which they got an awful advantage because of the sharp corner just below the Eyot. Westminster started badly, though they took a slight lead, but in a few strokes Eton drew up level and commenced an exciting contest for a short distance doing all in their power to prevent Westminster from taking their water. Westminster was steered badly in this part of the course and lost nearly two lengths by it. They put on a tremendous spurt from the Crab-tree and reduced the Etonians’ lead from 15 to three lengths; at the point the Etonians rowed remarkably well and gained half a length in which position they came in Westminster losing by three and a half lengths.
This is the best eight we have had from the time when we began to row Eton again. Great thanks are due to Hawshaw Late President of the Cam. Univ. B. C. an old Westminster to Forster Captain of the Univ. Coll. B. C. at Oxford for the increasing exertions at Oxford in coaching the eight: and Sun had a silver cup presented to him by the right for staying over at great personal inconvenience to row in the eight.
