With very little loss of time tho above got to their
stations, a fourth pair from some unavoidable eause not
appearing. A very even and beautiful start was
affected, and the whole went cff oar and oar at a fine
pace. In this position they remained for upwards of
two minntes, the work in all the boats being beautiful.
The winuars drew a alight lead then and gallantly main-
tained it throughout, although pressed to the end by the
seccud boat. Won by two lengths.
SILVER CHALLENGE SCCLLEL

This interesting annual match, which had taken place
previously,
was also most gallantly contested. The
Vestwinster sculls, the symbols of aquatic superiority,
we
re presented in 1844, by Messrs. E. B. Burton and E.
p. Colquhoun (old Westtninsters), for yearly competi-
tion as an encouragement to honourable emulation in
tho science of sculling. Mr. Wright, T. 8., was the suc-
cessful candidate in both '49 and 'SO, and as his superi-
ority
the well established, no race took place last
year,
was
so
and, consequently, being thrice the holder, he re-
signed the tropbies of victory this season for competition
amongst
challengers, three in number, the Hon. E.
Bourke, T. 8., W. Maddon, Q S., and E. Hammond,
T.B. The distance contested was from Putney-bridge
