ROWING MATCHES.

There were two very excellent rowing matches yester-
day, from Westminster to Putney, the one an oars' wager,
between Newel of Battle-bridge stairs, and Everard of
Blackfriars-bridge, and Dodd of Ilungerford, and
Williams of Waterloo-bridge ; and the other scullers
contest, between Lane and Harvey, both belt'-bridge
men. The oars' wager emanated from the grand regatta
at Putney about a month since, in which Dodd and
Newel won. The gentlemen who subscribed to that
race (the Leander and London Amateur Sullers' Club),
entertained a difference of opinion as to the respective
merits of Williams and Everard, and in order to test their
power, it was resolved that each of these men should
take the labour-oar, the former having Dodd as his bow
partner, and the latter Newel, and yesterday was ap-
pointed for the struggle. Betting was 5 to 4 in favour
of Newel and his partner. The start took place from
Westminster-bridge, at a quarter-past three, and was ex-
ceedingly even. In a few strokes Newel and his partner
gradually drew away, and off Corvenden and Ventzell's
(above Lambeth Palace) were two or three lengths a-
head. As there was but little wind out, the labour was
not very severe, and all hands worked well ; but in the
reach of water above Vauxhall, Newel and his partner
increased their advantage, and, maintaining the leading
place, won the match by arriving at Putney one minute
a-hcad of their opponents.
The scullers' wager was a very sharp one. They were
scull and scull to the Horseferry, where Harvey made a
" spurt" closely pressed by his adversary, and some very
hard and first-rate rowing ensued, until their arrival off
Cubett's factory, where Harvey gradually left his oppo-
nent in the rear. Harvey won by a few lengths only.
