QATIC SPO.
Rowing matches aA U
re now so frequentß,TS that they have almost
ceased to possess any interest: one however occurred yesterday
of a novel description. The Proprietor of the Nino Elms Tavern,
Battersea, gave a purse of sovereigns, to be rowed for by seven
pair of oars, viz. 7 landsmen and 7 watermen, all ofNine Elms.
After an excellent contest., which continued from three o'clock
till seven in the evening, the prize was gained by Turton and
Adams, who were distinguished by a black flag. The scene of
contention was between the Red House and Vauxhall Bridge.
—There were two interesting matches on the River yesterday,
which created much sport. The first, in the morning, was be-
tween Messrs. Ambury and Williams, in a skiff, against Cod-
ling, a Blackwell man, in a wherry, from the Southwark Bridge
to a boat or a buoy off Chiswick. The amateurs were much
accustomed to rowing on the River, and Jonathan Codling was
bred a waterman, anti he was backed for ten sovereigns. The
skiff took the lead, anti kept it to Vauxhall Bridge, and the
boats were under the bridge together, but the wherry was
rather a-head oft' the Red House, and kept the lead up to
Wandsworth. At Putney Bridge the skiff was behind about
six boat's length, and it was evident she could not overtake her
antagonist, and the waterman won it by one minute and a
half. The match was rowed against tide, and was done within
two hours.—The second was a sailing match, between the
Diana, Mr. Thompson (red), a Chelsea boat (blue), and a
boat called the Glory, from Shadwell (green). The match
was for five sovereigns each, or fifteen for the winner, from
Lambeth to Isleworth Church. The boats were upon a very
small scale, but there was a good wind, and red took the lead,
