event.. It is seldom that what are termed "home avd
home" matches are made is rowing, bat this is an excep-
tion to the rule, it being ly considered fair, in regard
to the rival pretensions of the men, to give each an op-
p.irtunity of contending upon his own water; and as
Kelly is a son of the Thames, and Bottle a native and
resident of Norwich, it was suggested and determined
upon by the rival backers that one race should he rowed
from Putney to Mortlake, and the other from g•
ham to Thorpe, the distance in both nearly corms-
p,mding, c,nsidflring the advantage of tide in the
first-narol. Th *Thames match is to be rowed
to•tuorrow afternoon, the start taking place at half-past
two o'clock. Upon the issue of this will mainly itepend
the betting on the second race, nearly a fortnight after-
