tossed for places,
took the Middlesex side of the river. The start took place
at three o'clock, when Mackinney dashed his sculls into
the water with the rapidity of lightning, and in a few
strokes drew himself in advance of his opponent ; but very
shortly after Wise overhauled him, and at Searlo's was
two lengths ahead, which he kept until they arrived
off Craven-cottage. In crossing the river Mackin-
ney began to put forth all his power, and gradually
shortened the distance between them, and eventually came
up to him, and a fine race ensued for the next 100 yards,
both mon rowing scull and scull together. Prom this
point Mackinney again began to show ahead, and gradu-
ally increased his advantage. At the Crab Tree Mackinney
was two clear lengths in advance, and passed under Hammer-
smith-bridge 4 seconds before Wise, the tine being—
Mackinney, 9 min. 58 sec.; Wise, 10 min. 2 sec. Wise
struggled manfully to recover the lead, but ineffectu-
ally, as at every stroke Mackinney improved his position,
so much so that at Barnes Bridge he was fully five lengths
ahead, this portion of the distance having been rowed in 22
minutes. Scarcely any alteration took place in the position
of the competitors until the winning post was reached, when
the victory was gained by Mackinney, who won the match
by six clear lengths.

The time occupied in rowing from Putney to Mortlake by
Mackinney Was 25 min. 48 sec.

Thomas Mackinney was umpire for his brother John,
and Mr. Williams fulfilled the same office for Wise. Mr.
Biffin was the referee.
