TUE it:REAT MATCH
BETWEI.,N NEWELL AND CLASPER; FOlt
TWO HUNDRED POUNDS. •
NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, Mo:ms.v.
The match between Newell and Clasper, which has excited
most extraordinary interest, came off this afternoon, and bag
been decided in favour of .Newell, who has proved himself
in all respects the bee ter man. The race was for 100/. a side;
flee miles bet wean Tync-b idge and Lemingt ..n point, with
every p..rt of which, anti the set of every current, Clasper
was of course familiarly acquainted. The toss for choice of
sides was won by Clasper, who, as on former occasions, se-
-I,ctfd the north side of the river. The time was fixed at
half an hour before high water. The boat in 'which Clasper
rowed was built by himself, 284 feet long, greatest 'breadth
22 inches; 6 inches forward and 4 aft, outside measure:
rake of the stem 14 inches ; outrigged and sir, ight tetween
head and stern. She was built to row against Carroll, of
',iv-I-pool, and is the same in which Clasper contended with
P. c..ck, Clasper winning both events. Newt Ns boat was
built by Messrs. Wentzsll and Cownden, of Fore .sireef:, Lam.
beth—a beautiful model, 30 feet long, an t in extreme 'breadth
about two feet, outrigged and veneered with mahogany Clasper. s boat was open, Newell's covered in with eta ivass to
keep out the water. Both boats sat neatly on the water,
but Newell's dipped forward on feeling the strength • of the
oar—a circumstance which appeared to inspire tasper's
friends with great confidence. Clasper is 35 years of age,
aid weighed 9st 31b; Newell 3G years, of age, and it •eighed
lOst 41b.
The assemblage of spectators was immerse, the 1) anks of
the liver all the way front Tyne-bridge to Lemingt pa-point
being densely crowde.l, as well as every eminence com-
manding a view of the scene. Five monster trr ins con-
veyed passeng,rs slowly along the line of the N :4;wcastle
and Carlisle ltailwav as the boats advanced, but thou ;ands of
pedestrians who attempted to follow the boats alung the
banks of the river abandoned the task as hopeless. Such a
sight was perhaps never witnessed before, in any pale t of the
kingdom. The weather was delightful, the intensity •of the
solar rays being moderated by a gentle breeze it orn the
south-east, barely sufficient to ripple the surface of the
stream, which presented a most animated appearant •e from
the innumerable craft ot'ali kinds moving to and fro >i (Pon it.

afterwards Newell entered his boat from the north side of
the river, and pulled about for upwards of 10 minut, fe, when
his party became impatient at the non-appearance of AClasPer4
and repeatedly called out to the referees that " time v ras up.
At length Clasper's boat, which was on the south sti dea was
slowly launched, and Clasper took his seat in it amidst
loud cheers from his friends. Newell had by tb is time
taken up his station at the starting point, near the pile
pillars, about 50 yards above the old bridge. Here
clasper
joined him, both the boats being then between the north
and the centre pillars ; but Clasper's referee objected to the
position of Newell, wishing Newell to come tin the south
aide of the centre pillar, to which Newell objected, as nd the
start was delayed some minutes in consequence. At length
Newell yielch.d, protesting at the same time against t he un-
fairness of the arrangement, which took hint rather

sele,,,ted parcels moved off ,teadily at full prices, but all Olin* kinds
were neglected. Foreign Wheat, free as well as in bond, was: in good
request, and previous rotes were well supported. In Barlel Y a 'no:

[ADVERTISEM,NT.]—Ladies, travAling or other-
/rise exposed to the scorching rays of the summer sun, will find
Ro~lano's Kalydor a most refreshing preparation for the com-
plexion, dispelling the cloud of languor and relaxation, allay!ag
all heat and irrit bility, and immediate!y affording the pleasing
sensation attending restored elasticity of the skin. The nu-
merous varieties of cutaneous eruptions, sunburn, freckles, tan.
and discolourations, are pleasingly eradicated by the Kalydor!
and the ski. rendered delicately clear and soft. Its purifying sod
refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by the
Court and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those. of the
Continent of Europe, together with the elite of the aristocracy
and haute volee. Beware of spurious •• Kelp:fors" for sale,
containing mineral astringents, utterly ruinous to the com-
plex,on, and by their repellent action endangering health.
See that the words ‘• Rowland's Kalydor" are on the envelope
(an engraving of exquisite beauty, from .a steel plate I

counterfeits. •
