CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.

The great contest for the Silver Sculls, the symbol of
championship amongst gentleman amateurs, took place
yesterday, and throughout the immense distance, from
Putney to Kew-bridge, was one of the most gallant
struggles upon record. The competitors on the present
occasion were Mr. Playford, a fine young man, a mem-
ber of the well-known Thames Club, and Mr. Bone, a
well-knit, muscular, powerful sculler, from the north;
and it was intimated that this would be the decisive
race for the championship of the year, as Mr. John
Whalmsley, the holder of the two past seasons, resigned
the proud symbols of aquatic superiority. Mr. Bone
took his place on the Surrey side of the centre arch of
Putney-bridge, his opponent on the Middlesex side of it.
They made a capital start, at a fine pace, and a most
exciting and gallantly contested race ensued, there being
little more than a boat's length between them at any
period of the struggle. When nearing the goal Mr.
Bone put on a terrific spurt, and although Mr. Playford
rowed under Kew-bridge in advance, it was evidently
the triumph of the most unflinching pluck on his part,
as he gave unequivocal symptoms of distress, and Mr.
Bone came in within a yard of his successful opponent's
.quarters; indeed, some hazarded an opinion that had
Bone commenced the final spurt earlier, he might have
changed the fortune of the day. There can be no doubt
that both have established for themselves a first-rate re-
putation as aquatic aspirants.
