SCULLERS' RACE FOR £5O.—A scullers' race for I
£5O took place yesterday from Putney to Mortlake between
Benjamin Edwardes, of the Tower, and Frederick Russell,
of Mill Stairs, Bermondsey, in old-fashioned boats, and
turned out different to what had been the general expecta-
tion, the betting being upset in the most conclusive man-
ner. Neither man has figured to any extent, and there was,
therefore, no great amount of speculation, but the final quo-
tation was 6 to 4 on Russell, who is very much smaller
than his opponent, but defeated him for Doggett's coat and
badge in 1863. Mr. Wormald having been chosen referee,
the men got to their stations, Edwardes, having the toss,
taking Middlesex. Russell took the lead, but only kept it
for half a dozen strokes, when Edwardes was up to him,
cleared him at the London Boat House, and rowing away
iu the easiest possible manner was three or four lengths
ahead at the Dung Wharf ; this he increased to six at Ham-
mersmith, and won by ten lengths. The Citizen M accom-
panied with a large party, conveying Mr. Wilcox, umpire
for Edwardes, and George Cannon, for Russell.
FIGHT WITH A SHARK.—The Greenport (Long
Island) Watchman says :—" At about 9 a.m. of Sun-
day last the schooner Catherine Wilcox, of Lubec, Maine,
was proceeding down the Sound, and while becalmed abreast
of that port, about eight miles off shore, the captain and a
young man 17 years of age, named Peter Johnson, belonging
to Maine, formerly a soldier, and now working his passage
home, stripped off theirclothing and jumped overboard for
a swim. Johnson swam a few rods from the vessel to pick
up a small piece of wood, and while returning a huge shark,
judged to have been 14 or 15 feet long, darted towards him
and seized him about the middle, and instantly disappeared
with him, dragging him down, as he says, about 30 feet deep.
He struggled and fought with the ravenous monster, fear-
fully lacerating his right arm in the effort. He finally
succeeded in grasping the shark by the head and by gouging
ono of his eyes, at the same time dealing him powerful
blows about the head, he succeeded in wresting himself free.
Ho then swam to the schooner pursued by the monster, but
being a man of remarkable physical strength and pluck, he
finally succeeded in driving him off, and got on board of
the schooner, pulling himself up by the foretopsail clue-line
which hung overboard, but not until the terrible teeth had
left their mark in many a ghastly wound, so that he was
one mass of gore. There were some 34 distinct wounds on
his person. The abdomen and groin of the right side was
fearfully mangled, the flesh being torn off and left hanging
by tho skin only, nothing but the thin lining membrane of
the abdomen preventing the entrails from gushing out, the
femoral vessels were laid bare, and the nerves completely
exposed. On the loft side of the abdomen was another
wound similar in character but less extensive, the right
thigh was very badly torn and gashed. Nothing but his
indomitable courage and physical vigour enabled him. to
escape alive. The shark must have been of the species
known as " man-eater," which are common in low latitudes,
but are rarely seen in shoal water. The common shovel-
nose nose shark of our waters seldom, if ever, attack mankind.

CANINE SAGACITY AT FAULT.—The celebrated
mechanical duck of Vaucanson is now being exhibited in
the Rue de Paris, at Havre, in a small museum which takes
its name from that illustrious mechanician. The bird stand-
ing on a sort of box, shakes its wings, eats, drinks, and
imitates nature so accurately, that the other day a dog flew
at it, without, however, doing any mischief.
