VIC Men's Eight crew
Victorian Men's Crew

This was the last Victorian crew selected by George Upward’s committee. It stood aside following the adoption of an amateur status definition at the intercolonial conference of 1888. The Queensland crew drew the worst station and combined this with a bad start to never be in the race. The Victorian and New South Wales crews had a great race.
