CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE TYRE.
RACE BETWEEN KELLEY AND CHAMBERS.
NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, Monday.
The referee in the race for the championship was ap-
pointed on Saturday. The names of the gentlemen pro-
posed —Mr. Ireland, London, and Lieut. Colonel Hawks,
Newcastle—were put into a hat. The name drawn was
Mr. Ireland's, and that gentleman was accordingly agreed
to. After the appointment the betting received a fresh
impulse, and a good deal of business was done at evens.
On Saturday and last night any amount of money was
ready for Chambers ; in fact, at the sporting houses the
disposition was so strong to support Chambers that his
friends could hardly be accommodated. A large number
of Kelley's backers arrived on Sunday and made• heavy
books.

The morning dawned with a clear sky and a soft and
pleasant breeze. Although the start took place shortly after
five a.m. the. number of spectators was unprecedented
The betting this morning was even, and up till the start.
money was laid freely on Chambers. Five o'clock had
hardly chimed when Chambers put off, amid great cheer-
ing, and was quickly followed by Kelley, who was also
well received. Both men looked well, Kelley especially
whose colour was exceedingly fresh. A beautiful start
was effected at 5.17, each getting well away, and without
advantage. After the first hundred yards Kelley crept to
the front, and made an attempt to steer clear and take
Chatsbers'a water, in which he eventually succeeded, and
went away with a tine spurt. At the top of the New
Quay Kelley was three lengths in advance, but was
neither pulling so steadily nor so coolly as Chambers,
till he reached the half-distance, when he ;quietly settled
down, and leaving Chambers still farther in the rear, went
on easily, but at a great pace.

Chambers Was lo idly sheared on pissing the Meadows,
upon which he made a good spurt, slightly decreasing the
distance. The cheers wore then redoubled ; but Kelly,
responding to the cries of his friends, met the attempt in
fine style, and again went ahead at a clipping rate. He
was never passed, and came in the winner by upward's of
100 yards. Time 314 minutes.

SHOCKING•ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE.

NEWCASTLE, Monday Night.

After the boat race a number of persons, calculated to bo
about 100, while waiting on the Ferry Company's landing
on the quay side for their passage by boat to Shields, were
precipitated into the river by the giving way of the centre
of the stage. Several bodies have been recovered, but it
is thought that upwards of 20 persons have lost their lives
by this awful calamity.
