拍品專文

Charles Thurston Fogg-Elliot, Rower, was educated at Durham School and then Trinity Hall, Cambridge, where he became Captain of the Hall Boat Club. He then went on to become President of the Cambridge University Boat Club in 1894.

He is a very strong man, whose hair and moustachios are as white as his face is sometimes red; and, like most of our strong young barbarians, he is quite a good-tempered fellow. He is known as 'Fogg', and he is a puzzle; for it is impossible to tell where his forehead ends and his nose begins. Yet he is quite a popular boy, who is not nearly so fierce as he often looks. He was only beaten on Saturday because the Oxford crew were better than his own. He has occasional flashes of dry humour; and he thinks that he can wrestle.
