SCULLERS' RACE.

The contest amongst second-class scullers belonging to
the West London Rowing Club, for a silver cup, took place
yesterday Owing to a variety of circumstances there were
but two competitors, Mr. Collins and Mr. Bryant. The dis-
tance was from Hammersmith to Putney •bridge. The
gentlemen effected a good start, and were scull-and-scull
for about a couple of minutes, when Mr. Collins began to
draw away, and at Craven was some lengths a-head. He
ultimately improved his advantage and rowed with ease
towards the finish.

THE LEANDER APPRENTICES' COAT AND

BADGE RACE.

Next to Doggett's Coat and Badge race this•is the great-
est on the river, and as it is conducted by gentlemen it is a
fair race. It is rowed for by apprentices who are in their
last two years' service, from Westminster to Putney, in old-
fashioned boats, and on this occasion the following men
started :
l. C. Beckett, Fulham.

2. W. Wallinger, Paul' sWhf
3. W.E. Taylor, Blackfriars.
4. E. Eager, Chelsea.
+5. A. Fricker, Essex Stairs.

6. T. Royal, Pimlico.
7. H. Salter, Wandsworth,
8. H. Styles, Isleworth.
9. F. Kelly, Fulham.

The Venus accompanied the race, and hundreds of spec-
tators assembled at every available point. Kelly, who had
the best station on the Surrey side, dashed off with the lead,
followed by Salter, Royal, and Beckett, the latter, owing
to his good station, going in advance at the Horseferry,
and never forfeited his place, winning with ease. Royal
became second at the lower end of the Penitentiary, and
keeping his place reached Putney six lengths a-head of the
third man. Salter, who after a fine race with Sykes, and
having been twice fouled, became third at Vauxhall Bridge.
We'linger, Kelly, Fricker, Styles, and Eager, were rowing
a fine race at Nine Elms, till Kellyled the five ; but Styles,
who shortly afterwards came up, rowed him so hard all tho
way, that Kelly was only fourth at Putney by a few yards ;
the others, after passing Chelsea, fell considerably astern,
Eager and Fricker rowing a very hard race.
