EXCITING DOUBLE SCULLER 9 RACE.
The first race this year on the river Thames took place
yesterday, and was a very exciting affair, although for a
small stake, creating considerable interest among the par-
tisans of the four men, all of whom aro lightermen and
watermen of Brentford. The competitors were Collier and
Treadwell against Jennings and Halford, and they rowed
in old-fashioned double-sculled beats, built by Wyld, of
Lambeth. Collier and Treadwell are well known in their
native place, having rowed several races previous to this,
while the competitors are mere novices in the noble art, con-
sequently the former were the favourites, although not at
any great odds, owing to the determined look of their oppo-
nents. The stake was £lO a-side, and the distance a very
unusual one—via., from Barnes' Railway-bridge to Brent-
ford-docks, a little over three miles—sad there was a large
number of spectators all along the course. The men went
to their stations at half-past two, Collier and partner gain-
ing the best place on the Middlesex side, there being a
rough wind blowing at the time, which lasted to Kew-
bridge.
A gentleman having been appointed referee, the men
started themselves, Collier and Treadwell taking so long a
lead that it seemed to be all over, but the others pressed
them very hard, and it was a desperate race for the first mile.
All this time Jennings and Halford had been gradually
nearing the leading pair, and soon after they left Barker's
Rails behind, Jennings and partner took the lead and won
easily, being greeted as the winners by an enormous muster
of spectators assembled along the towing path at Brent-
ford.
