Oxford and Cambridge athletic sports at West Brompton [in London]: the one-mile race, 1869. 'At the sixth annual meeting of members of the two Universities for the competition of athletic exercises, on Thursday week, in the new ground of the Amateur Athletic Society, the One-Mile Race was run by Messrs. E. Royds and H. P. Gurney, for Cambridge; and by Messrs. R. Y. Somers-Smith, J. W. Laing, and S. G. Scott, for Oxford...Both were level at the last turn for home; but Royds lasted best, got in front at the hundred-yards starting-post, and won a fine race by three yards, amid the cheers of the Cantabs [ie Cambridge], who thus scored their first winning. Laing made a dead heat with Scott on the post for third place, thirty-five yards behind Somers-Smith'. From "Illustrated London News", 1869.
