THE START.

Kelley having won the choice of stations took the
Middlesex side, and at exactly 14 minutes to 3
o'clock a beautiful start was effected, Kelley's sculls
taking the water first, and both rowed at a clipping
pace, decidedly even up to off Guy's fields, where
Sadler went a little wide. As they neared Craven
Point they were nearly dead level. In crossing the
water, with Sadler on the Surrey side, they rowed
across towards the Soap Works. At this point
Kelley began to get a trifle ahead, and at the upper
side of the Works was leading by a quarter of a
boat's length, and gained still more the futthcr
they rowed. Previous to getting to Hammer-
smith-bridge, both being close together, a foul
occurred, but the men were ordered to row on.
They started again, Kelley passing under Hammer.
smith-bridge ahead, when the swell of three tug-
boats (more disgrace to their owners) sent their surf
most unmercifully at the men. A beautiful race
took place here, Sadler spurting and rowing up to
Kelley, which he answered by one of the finest
efforts ever witneaed, and at the Waterworks was
a clear length ahead. Oa reaching Barnes-bridge
Kelley was two lengths clear, and on reaching the
Ship at Mortlake Kelley came in a winner by six
boat's lengths.

Bottling at starting-6 and 7t04 on Hey.

The referee, on being appealed to by the umpires,
ordered the men, in consequence of the foal, to
row again to-morrow at' 3 o'clock. The bet dug
for the deciding race is even money.
Eleven steamers accompanied the race.
Time.—The time, as taken by Benson's chrono-
graph, was 23thiu. 30sec.
