GREAT BOAT RACE FOR £lOO.

One of the finest scullers' races over seen came off yester-
day between George Hammerton, of Teddington, formerly
apprentice of Messenger, ex-champion of the Thames, and
Stephen Wright, of Norwich, some years his opponent's
junior. As a sculler Hammerton has only won the coat and
badge given by the Thames Subscription Club in the Royal
Thames National Regatta ; but with Francis he has beat
some of the finest pairs that ever stepped into a boat. He
had been training at Mrs. Heath's, the Star and Garter,
Putney, with Chambers. Wright is, we believe, not yet
21, and has acquired considerable fame by beating young
Clasper twice; he trained with Henry Kelly, at the
Feathers, Wandsworth, and his pace had been so good that
6 and 7 to 4 was freely laid on him. His umpire was
Henry Kelly. James Messenger stood for Hammerton,
and Mr. Newnham was referee. The race was accom-
panied by (the umpire's boat) Citizen J. and the Venus.
The men moved to their stations shortly before three,
Wright winning the toss, there being a slight wind out.
After ten minutes cut to waste in fiddling, the men got off
level, and remained so for a dozen strokes, when Wright,
rowing too rapidly, missed his stroke, and nearly fell outof
his boat, Hammerton obtaining a considerable lead, which
he had increased to a clear length at Finch's. Here Wright
came up so rapidly that they all but fouled, and the Nor-
wich man dodged about his opponent's stern, and would
not be left even when the Crab Tree ,was reached. At
Hammersmith, however, Hammerton led by two lengths,
and this lead he increased all the way, though not with
ease, winning by six lengths in 25.± minutes, and there
being much lumpy water in Corney Reach. Wright
rowed one of the most plucky stern races on record.
The following races took place at the Crystal Palace yes-
terday :

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A LIGIITTIOUSE-
ZCZEPER.—Last week a young man, named Doyle, who was
in charge of the Slynchead lights, very mystA xiously disap-
peared, and some grave suspicions are afloat a s to his disap-
pearance. On Monday last Mr. H. D'Arcy, J.P., and J.
Ireland, 5.1., held an investigation into the matter at
Ennismore Constabulary Barrack, and on. the following
day, Mr. Halpin, inspector of lights, visited the island, and
was anything but well pleased with what elicited con-
cerning the watter.—Galway Vindicator,
