IVEIGHTS for the SPRING HANDICA.PS,

We are in a position to state that the weights for
the Chester Cup, the City and Suburban and
Metropolitan, the Northamptonshire and St. Liz
Stakes, and the Newmarket Handicap, as well as the
Bath and Somersetshire Stakes, will not be pub-
fished before early next week. The delay of their
publication is caused, we are informed, by the great
dissimilarity of the weights apportioned to the
horses engaged in the Chester Cup to those handi-
capped by Admiral Rous. According to the regula-
tions which have been in force for the last two
years e
the horses handicapped by Mr. Topham ar
submitted to Admiral Rous for his approval previ-
ous to publication.

Great Scullers' Race between Tom King and

Percy.

The match between Tom King, the pugilistic ex-
champion, and James Percy, the celebrated pedes-
trian of Newcastle-on-Tyne, which has created an
extraordinary amount of interest, was brought to
an issue this afternoon, and resulted in one of the
finest races ever recorded. The course, as usual,
was from Putney to Mortlake, and the prize con-
tended for was £lOO.

The usual preliminaries having been adjusted, the
toss took place for choice of stations, and fortune
favouring Percy, he took the inside station, and
exactly at 37 min. 10 sec. past one, the men started,
amidst the cheers of their numerous supporters.
Percy made a most determined commencement, and
in a few seconds he began to show in advance of
his opponent, who, however, seemed fully bent
upon disputing most desperately every inch of the
course. Off Symonds's, Percy was fully three
boats' length ahead of King, and in this position they
rowed for nearly 150 yards; but the ex-champion at
this point seemed to settle down to his work, and
eventually caught his competitor, and before they
had reached Craven Cottage, King was three lengths
ahead of Percy. Not content with this advantage,
King continued to exert himself, and having put
on a spurt about this point he succeeded in increas-
ing the space between himself and Percy to five
lengths in advance. Here the betting took a com-
plete turn ; at starting it was 5 and in some in-
stances 6 to 4 on Percy, but now it.. became 10 to 1
on King. King here appeared to be confident of
success, for he relaxed his rowing in a very
great degree, imagining that he had his
man quite safe, and in crossing the Crabb Tree he
still maintained his position. Percy, however,
seemed determined to do his best to regain
the pride of place, and taking advantage of King's
apparent over-confidence, he made the utmost effort
to overhaul him, and . succeeded so far that
at Hammersmith-bridge he had decreased the dis-
tance between himself and King to two lengths.
Off Chiswick EyotPercy was over anxious to ascer-
tain the exact position of King, and the conse-
quence of his looking round was that King was
enabled again to increase the lead, which Percy
had, by hard rowing, at one time diminished. In
crossing at this point from the Surrey to the Mid-
dlesex shore Percy again gained considerably, and
his supporters began to imagine they had a
gleam of hope in consequence of King's cross-
ingP somewhat before him. Here the supporters o fercy cheered their man tremendously, and their
plaudits seemed to impart fresh vigour to Percy,
who here again made another desperate effort. At
this point in the match Percy's cutter would have
been of immense advantage to him ; but strange to
say, it was nowhere to be seen. When the men had
crossed and had got into what may be termedstraight
hibsrigdaglleant competitor,
lengths, rowing Percy came even with King, and both men
rowed skull and skull to Barnes-bridge, which they
went under together. At this time, the men having
rowed about 300 or 400 yards, as we have said,
skull and skull, a great many bets were offered and
