Minutes of meetings and records of races from April 1884 to June 1892. The minutes include lists of resident members, descriptions of Trinity, university, and national regattas, mentions of the Ball and occasionally, the Procession of Boats. Cuttings are pasted in and laid in loose, and include cuttings from The Granta in 1889 about the Trinity bump supper and a poem recited by R. C. L. [Richard Cornthwaite Lambert?] after dinner; items laid in include an announcement of the May Ball 1889, a Lent bumps chart for February 1891, and a notice sent to D. A. Croall asking him to attend a C.U.B.C. meeting in which a motion to censure the President would be discussed. Mention is made of the fatal accident during the Lent Races in which the Trinity Hall boat accidentally crossed the river with the result that the nose of their boat went over the rigging of the Clare boat and killed the man in the 4 seat instantly. Mention is also made of a Christs man struck dead by lightning while walking beside a bumps race in June 1892.

Recording Secretaries: J. W. S. Burns, Charles L. Smith, Edward J. Bagshawe, John Robinson, Arthur F. Harratt, Francis H. Tuke, W. Hugh Gorringe, Cyril E. Ashford, Malcolm C. Powell, Arthur G. Johnson (briefly, before resignation with the Captain in November 1891), and David A. Croall.
