The Boat Race 1889
The 46th Boat Race took place on 30 March 1889. The Boat Race is an annual side-by-side rowing race between crews from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge along the River Thames. For the first time in the history of the event, all eight rowers in the Cambridge crew had rowed the previous year. Cambridge won by three lengths in a time of 20 minutes 14 seconds, their fourth consecutive victory which took the overall record in the event to 23–22 in Oxford's favour.
==Background==
The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues") and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues"). First held in 1829, the race takes place on the Championship Course on the River Thames in southwest London. The rivalry is a major point of honour between the two universities; it is followed throughout the United Kingdom and as of 2014, broadcast worldwide. Cambridge went into the race as reigning champions having won the previous year's race by seven lengths, while Oxford held the overall lead, with 23 victories to Cambridge's 21 (excluding the "dead heat" of 1877).
Cambridge's coaches were Fraser Emilie Churchill (who had rowed for the Light Blues in the 1883, 1884 and 1885 races), Charles William Moore (who represented Cambridge in the 1881, 1882, 1883 and 1884 races), Frederick Islay Pitman (who rowed in 1884, 1885 and 1886), Herbert Edward Rhodes (who rowed in the 1873, 1874, 1875 and 1876 races) and Henry Tudor Trevor-Jones. Oxford were coached by Tom Cottingham Edwards-Moss (who rowed for the Dark Blues four times between the 1875 and the 1878 races) and William Grenfell (who rowed for Oxford in 1877, 1878 and was non-rowing boat club president in 1879).〔Burnell, pp. 110–111〕
The umpire for the race was Frank Willan who won the event four consecutive times, rowing for Oxford in the 1866, 1867, 1868 and 1869 races.〔Burnell, pp. 49, 59〕
