THE ANGLO7A-VERICAN LVTERNATIONAL BOAT

RACE.

Wo learn from the Newcastle Chronicle that this great
international contest between Hamill, the United States
champion, and Kelly the English champion of the Thames

Tnow
gone into
active work, and is rapidly reducing himself to the required
weight which he will row on the days of the races. lie,
as heretofore, takes good daily exercise on the river in the
Joseph Gowen, pulling several miles each day. On Mon-
day he rowed about 33 miles, on Tuesday not more than
seven, whereas on Wednesday he increased the distance
to 11 miles. His habit is to go off twice a day according
as the tides may be suitable, and the distances we have.
given include, of course, bottitrips each day. Ho is in
the enjoyment of excellent health, and though not naturally
given to vain boasting, he is pretty confident of success,
or,' to use his own words, he is pretty sure that he will
not be far off the winner at the finish.' So far wo have
had no opportunity of forming any correct idea as to what
his real powers in the skiff are ;- first, because Le has been;
particularly cautions not to make 'too great an exhibition
of his skill; and secondly, if even he was so inclined, he
would prefer having a new skiff in every way adapted to
his style in which to 'show off.' We shall therefore have
to wait some little time first ere this can possibly be t he,
case, until either his own boat arrives, or perhaps even
later, until Clasper gets the one finished upon which he is.
now engaged. But, as we have before hinted, it is more
than probable that the public will have little opportunity
of seeing what he really can do in the skiff till the clay of
the race."
