AQUATICS.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £lO,

A very spirited boat race was rowed yesterday, between
Charles Haiilins, of Westminster, and William Johnson,
of Pimlico, for the above amount (£5 a-side), from West-
minster-bridge to Battersea-bridge. Hawkins had the best
station on the Middlesex side, but his opponent was the
favourite at 5 and 6 to 4. The umpires and a referee having
been appointed, the men got to their stations.
In getting away Hawkins had a slight advantage, but it
was trifling and momentary, and then his opponent became
scull-and-scull, and off Lambeth-pier had drawn his stern-
post level with Hawkins's thwart. The pace was exceed-
ingly good, but Johnson continued to draw his boat gra-
dually away, and, maintaining the lead throughout, went
in a gallant winner by nearly three lengths. His opponent's
spurts were very good, but only lasted a short time, but in
tote his was one of the pluckiest stern wagers ever seen.
PAIR OARED RACE FORISILVER CUPS.
A very interesting pair-oared race for the above prizes
was rowed on Thursday afternoon, among the members of
the Fulham Unity Club. The distance was from Chelsea
to Putney, the following being the results :
Red 1
Mr. Allaire. J Mr. Potter.
C. Bate, coxswain.

Blue
Mr. Oliver. 1 Mr. Grimshaw.
E. Dixon, coxswain.

Pink ....
Mr. Shaw.

Mr. Woodroffe.
H. Webb, coxswain.

White 0
Mr. Campbell. J Mr. Johnstone.
F. Clark, coxswain.
Red and White were the favourites, White having the
best station.

A capital start was effected, Red taking the lead, which
they maintained throughout, closely pressed by Blue, who
were only defeated by a length, Blue beating Pink by a
length and a half. The race for third place was very
spirited, Pink only beating White by half a length.

GENTLEMEN'S SCULLERS' RACE.
A scullers' race, which had created some speculation
amongst the members of the Great London Rowing Club,
came off on Thursday evening. The competitors were Mr.
Burgess, the late winner of the club scullers' prize, and
Mr. Stahlschmidt, a very promising gentleman amateur,
of the same club. The distance was from Putney to
Hammersmith-bridge, with tide, and the race, which was
a private one, was for a silver cup. Mr. Stahlschmidt be-
coming entitled to the choice of station took the north
side. They both started at the same moment, and were
tolerably level for a few strokes, when Mr. Burgess took a
lead which, despite the exertions of the other, he never
forfeited. It was a smart race for some distance, but
ultimately Mr. Burgess won easily.
