AQUATICS.

CLASPER AND DREWITT.

Races between men from the North and South of Eng-
land always create great interest, especially as_ they are
now-a-days of less ft equent occurrence than they were in
former days, or rather have been of less frequent occurrence
until within the last twelve months, since which time there
have been several. The veteran Harry Clasper, of the
North, the " hero of a hundred fights," was at the latter
end of 1858 engaged on the Thames against Thomas White,
who had raised himself by his prowess to the third place on
the river, and as youth will be served the Northern veteran
was defeated ; next day Clasper's son beat a Londoner on
his own water; then in the spring of last year White
was opposed to one of his own age, the renowned Chambers,
of the North, and on the cosily Tyne White suffered his
first defeat. Smaller matches have since occurred, and
then came the great event between North and South,
when the gallant Chambers aspired to the Champion-
skip of the Thames, his opponent being the renowned
Harry Kelly, of Fulham. This race must be fresh in
the recollection of our readers, and it is only necessary
to say that the proud title of the championship of
the Thames passed, for the first time on record, out
•f the hands of the London watermen. Another match
is now exciting the interest of both North and South,
being no other than a race between the renowned Harry
Clasper and George Drewitt, of Chelsea, who, although
not a waterman, is probably the third man on the river.
The difference between the ages of the two men is
very great, Clasper being nearly double the age of his
youthful opponent; still there is not, in the minds of many
persons, a certainty that the latter will win. His youth is
undoubtedly a great advantage, but the veteran Clasper is
still an excellent scalier, and the odds are only 5 to 4 on
Di ewitt. The race will take place on the 24th of April, on
the Tyne, from the High Level to Scotswood Suspension-
bridge, for £lOO a side, and several deposits have already
been made,. Both men aro reported very well.
