Here are the issues I found:

Background

• "Cambridge University Boat Club received the challenge to race from the Oxford University Boat Club secretary Menzies" Add Mr. Menzies first name here.

Race

• Add an image of the course in this section.

• Is it possible you could describe the weather during the race?

  I have no information on this in either the online source or the book I have, I will check my other paper sources tonight. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:51, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

• "Oxford started under the arch farther that side." Curious. Is that the Middlesex side? If so, change to "Handing Oxford the Middlesex side of the bridge" Or something similar.

  I rephrased. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:51, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

• "Between the National Penitentiary and Wandsworth, "they were not once free from the swell of the steamers" What's with the quotation marks? Did someone say this? If so, who?

That's all the issues I could find. I will promote once they are addressed. good888 (talk) 14:22, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
