ROWINO.3IATCH FORENNB. ONE HUNDRED SOVE.
_ R

This grand rowing-enatebCirdi•ts,;:e against time, was centended
foe on Saturday hut, on the river Thames, for 100 sovereigns, by
two gentlemen, who, it appears, undertook for the alcove wager, to
row, is a watennan's wherry, with oars, accompaiied by a cox-
swain, (rem Woolwich up the river, proceed through the centre
arch of Richmond bridge, end return again to the starting- place at
Woolwich, in the space of eight hours. The candidates who con-
tended to perform this eaption, were landsmen, and, we under-
stand, Cadets belonging to Woolwich ; and no sooner was the
match in siontamplatfoo: than several heavy beta were laid against
the performance, the distance being computed to exceed 410
Arcordimiy, Saturday being the day fixed upon for the tannest,
about half-nut eleven o'clock the Lowers made they MOUVIft 011
the shore, deemed ix blue aid* shirts : they seemed M high spi-
rits, and fully confident of succeeding. Preparatory
Ass commemed. for this excursion, and about twelvaer=eadtaie
candidates took their station in the boat, Immediac2 o
the arsenal, mutat ten minutes after twelve &dock, ev M erging
In readiness, they started by signal from Woolwich with a Wow
current upwards, and proceeded along the aver)? smear with gam
velocity. At five minutes after two the rowers reackd Lambeth
Palace, and strived at Richmond Bridge about • Quarter kafore
four, took e hale refreshment and remained there sexual minutte;
they then proceeded downwards, and on their arrival at Waisthe
Bridge it was half.paat six o'clock; hart they seemed much tali. I
gued, roared very irregular, and the general opinion among many
well-known, experienced watermen was, that they would no doubt
lose the wager, as they appeared knocked up. The candidates,
however, manfully maintained their stations, and keeping up a
firm resolution, finally reached the starting place within seven mi-
nutes and a half of the appointed time, and woo the match cleverly,
although greatly distressed. The soccesefig candidates were int.
mediately ushered ashore, emit: loud seciatnatious of joy from a
crowd of spectators assembled on the occasion.
