Amateur Championship of the Thames.

The final heat to decide the holder of the Wingfield
Sculls was rowed yesterday afternoon by Mr. C. B. Laws,
of Cambridge, and Mr. W. B. Woodgate, of Kingston, the
last holder; the former having won the trial heat •on
Tuesday.

A steamer with the umpire, Mr. Brickwood, and a num-
ber of spectators on board, followed the boats.

The start took place from Putney at 611. 6m., about 15
minutes before high water, Woodgate, on the Middlesex
side of the river. Lawes directly commenced hard work,
pulling his left very high and awkwardly, Woodgate a
quarter of a length behind, rowing a very finished stroke,
which sent his bow to the front before they were 200 yards
from the bridge ; but he could not pull away, and when
they were half a mile from the start, Lawes again showed
in front, his long, powerful stroke seemingly sending him
there just whenever he chose to exert it. After passing
Craven Cottage Lawes steered into the middle, and Wood-
gate again went slightly in front, but did not get clear,
the followers on shore and afloat making the air ring with
shouts for Woodgate. Upon Lawes pulling into the
middle and making for the opposite bank of the river,
Woodgate's pilot steered him there also and seemed to
use every endeavour to thrust Lawes among the rushes,
or cause a foul, there not being half a dozen yards between
their sculls, as they rowed level, Laves close under the
bank. Passing under Hammersmith-bridge, Woodgate was
a quarter of a length ahead (time 10m. 50sec.), and after-
wards nearly succeeded in making it a length, but Lawes,
looking over his shoulder and seeing Woodgate's lead,rowed
himself level in about a dozen tremendous strokes. Abreast
of Chiswick Eyot Lawes was three quarters of a length
ahead ; but, resting his sculls a moment, Woodgate's bow
again appeared in front, the lead, however, being only
marked by inches ; the next 200 yards proved very exciting
for the spectators, being rowed level, until they arrived
abreast of Chiswick Church, when Lawes, by a series of
desperate plunges, pulled his boat three-quarters of a
length ahead, and every successive stroke increased the
lead, Woodgate labouring without strength for any exer-
tion sufficient to again place him by the, side of his more
muscular opponent. Passing Whitehouse Lawes was
quite four lengths ahead, occasionally easing himself and
dashing away, apparently with all the heavy strength he
started with. Upon clearing Barnes-bridge Lawes was
quite seven lengths ahead (time 22m. 45sec.), all exertion
being out of Woodgate, who still, however, rowed a very
finished stroke. Lawes arrived off Mortlake and termi-
nated the race in 27m. 4sec. 2-10ths time, as taken by one
of Mr. M. F. Dent's chronographs. Woodgate was nine or
ten lengths astern and was fairly beaten after passing
Chiswick Church.

A foul was claimed for Woodgate, who wished to row
the heat again another day; but the umpire decided at
once that Lawes won fairly, and that his rival ought not
to have pressed him so closely.
