Mr. J. Fiell, coxswain.
The distance was from Putney to Mortlake; the losers to
provide the winners with silver cups. The River Queen,
Capt. Heath, accompanied the race, with between 300 and
400 persons on bosrd, and the river was completely covered
with boats in compalty. Betting was level. Blue had the
best place, but, Rod took a trifling lead. Blue were with
them in a moment, snd in 100 yards were a trifle a-head.
Red then came up, and with trifling alternate leads,
they rowed a most terrific race to the Crab Tree, where
Blue was half a length ahead again. Similar changes
again occurred to what had taken place, and Blue was just
clear at Hammersmith. Red, however, e:ime level again
at Chiswick; and so they' rowed half a mile. Nearing
Barnes, Blue led again, and gradually drew themselves
clear through the bridge. Again and again Red closed up
the gap, and Blue won ultimately by two clear yards, doing
the distance in 26 minutes on a slack tide. Both crews were
much exhausted, and cheered each other, as, they rowed
ashore: The winners were trained by John Phelps.
