THE AMATEUR SCULLER'S MATCH.
SATURDAY.

This match, which had been expected to show off the beauty
of the Scullers' Club, and exhibit a vast number of fine boats,
almost in procession, turned out an absolute infliction, not
through any want of arrangement on the part of the gentlemen
belonging to this great club, but simply because the weather
was the very reverse of that calculated for such a display, and
the wind being so exceedingly high as to do away with the
chance of anything like an aquatic pageant. The rain des-
cended in torrents during the afternoon, and the wager wher-
ries of those gentlemen who did come to the stations were
closely covered in to prevent their being swamped. Under
anything like more fortunate auspices, twelve or fourteen gen-
tlemen might have been expected to have showed, but, as it
was, six only entered the lists for a Silver Cup. The distance
was from Vauxhall to Putney with tide, and at five o'clock the
gentlemen took their stations, " coolly enough," as any body
may imagine.
'They made a pretty start, and Mr. Julius, a gentleman who
some years ago held the silver sculls, took the lead, closely
followed by Mr. Layton, Mr. Nicholson, and Mr. Pollock.
Mr. Julius had the best of it until nearing the Spread Eagle,
when Mr. Pollock, in the most admirable style, rowed by him,
andt took the advance. Mr. Nicholson laid out his strength at
gentlemen _h_er same time, and it was evident that he was fast overhauling
Thames Bank, and went in-the wake of Mr. Pollock. These
