GREAT SCULLERS' iRACE.

WHITE AGAINST CLASPER FOR £2OO.

This great and interesting contest, which has
caused so much excitement in sporting circles, was
decided this afternoon. The competitors for aqua-
tic hon ours were Thomas White, of Bermondsey,
and Harry Clasper, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and
the distance to be rowed was from Putney to
Mortlake. The state of the river at the
starting point was exceedingly picturesque
—the banks on each side were crowded by
the admirers of the men, who cheered them lustily
as they rowed to their respective stations. Fortune
smiled on White from the commencement of the con-
test by giving him choice of station, and he accord-
ingly selected the Middlesex side of the
Thames. At fifteen minutes past three the
men rowed to the centre of Putney-bridge,
and 18 minutes past the hour, after a couple of
abortive attempts, a beautiful start was effected.
White's first stroke was a miracle—he seemed
completely to lift his boat out of the water,
the effect of which was to give him an
immediate advantage over Clasper. In six
minutes from leaving Putney-bridge White
was off the Crab Tree two or three lengths
in advance of Clasper. Ilammersmith-bridge was
next reached in 9 min. 13 sec., White increasing
his lead. At Barnes (19 min. 13 seconds.)
White, who had the race all to himself,
frequently turned his head to witness his competi-
tor's vain, but plucky, attempt to overhaul him, but
he (White) was now sure of victory, and the win-
ning post was reached in 23 minutes 12 seconds
from the time of starting ; Clasper being
about 130 to 150 yards to the rear. During
the race it was evident that Clasper stood no chance
with his opponent, who was by 25 years his
junior ; but it must be confessed that, for
a man who has seen forty-eight summers, he
acquitted himself very creditably. At starting the
betting was 2 to 1 on White, but in a few minutes
after the race had commenced it was " a guinea to
a gooseberry."

The winning man rowed in a very beautiful
boat, built by Jewell, of Newcastle, and Robert
Bain, of Lambeth, furnished him with a pair of
sculls worthy of the tiny craft. _

The race between Francis of Teddington, and
Clasper's son over the same course, comes off to-
morrow afternoon. Francis is the favourite for the
event.
