Excerpt from The Eton Boating Book
It is also an interesting fact that the first race honoured by the pres ence of a Head Master was the Pulling Sweepstakes in. 1847, when Dr. Hawtrey' was rowed in a boat by Rev. H. Dupuis and Mr. Evans. It, was thought a most liberal concession of Dr. Goodford when, on the 1st of March, 1860, at the request of the Captain of the Boats, he allowed the Boats to go to the Brocas without shirking, though in the following half that absurd custom was abolished for all the School.
