LANDSMEN SCULLERS' RACE.

A scullers' race, although by no means of an exciting
character, came off yesterday on the shortened above-bridge
course, between Putney-aqueduct and Hammersmith sus-
pension-bridge. The stake was £lO aside, and the com-
petitors were Wm. Watson, of the Blackfriars Aquatic
Club, and Wm. Huxley, of the Howard Rowing Club, both
being landsmen, and comparatively untried men. Huxley
has won two matches previously, and for some unaccoant-
able reason, he gave his opponent three lengths start—a
great advantage even from Putney to Mortlake, and much
greater over so short a course—yet Huxley was the fay ourite
at 6to 4. Watson won the choice of stations, the wind
blowing very hard, and making the labour_ right-handed.
Watson's umpire and jockey was Benjamin Oxlade ; Hux-
ley's, George Driver ; and Mr. Henry Salter was referee
Watson started very fast, increased his advantage the
farther he went, and won easily.

RACE BETWEEN A WATERMAN AND A
LANDSMAN.

Another scullers' race took place yesterday, from Putney
to Barnes, between William Jones, a landsman, of Black-
friars, and Robert Kilsby, a waterman's apprentice, of
Bankside, and although for a trifling amount, it excited
much interest and was an exceedingly good race, Mr. Green
of Putney, being referee. Jones won the choice of stations,
and took the lead, which he kept by about three lengths
right through Hammersmith-bridge, Kilsby pursuing him
very hard. At Chiswick Eyot, Jones caught a crab ;
Kilsby came up, and after rowing with him a short dis •
tance, took the lead at Chiswick Church, but was waited
upon so closely by Jones, that he only succeeded in win-
ning by a length and a-half.
