THE GREAT LEANDER CLUB MATCH.
'rite gentlemen of this ancient and distinguished rowing
elub contended yesterday in a ran-dan match, and ac-
quitted themselves as might have been expected by their
antecedents. The club has ordinarily exhibited its per-
fections dining the season in a scullers contest, a pair-
13al'ed lace, and an eight-oared spin, and yesterday they
e"anienced with the addition of a ran-dan race, over the
I --fashioned course, from Westminster to Putney. The
labour was in part excessive, owing to the height of the
Wind, but they gallantly sustained it with the following
resultsl.
London—MesFirs. Boville, Pryor, and Willoughby 1
lon" estrninster—Messrs. Calquhoun, Golding, and Wood 0
.4°ll—lVlessra Davis, Smith, and Davis
The Start took place about half flood, and was very
ZaPitally taken by all the rowers. Mr. Colquboun'a
',oat, although with the worst station, took the lead, that
talernan rowing the pair in his usual finished style.
41r. Pryor rowed the sculls in hi‘ boat capitally, but he
ja,t'd his arty were for a time, athough well cff in sta-
."; much hampered by the amount of craft in their
course, and the Messrs. Davis held way with them
elreellently through Vauxhall Bridge, where Messrs.
eolquhoun, Golding, and Wood were still leading slightly.
°le Smith's Distillery, at the upper end of Thames-bank,
oville, who was rowing the labour forward, began to
overlap the lading boat, and a very spirited and capital
4tace followed, Mr. Colquhonn's party holding them well
Vl' 80me time, and reminding one of the ureat races of
bygone days. As they neared Chelsea College the win-
ners began to draw themselves clear, and increased it to
Battersea Bridge, where they were two or three lengths
!Mead. The labour at Wandsworth was again very
heavy, but there was no abatement in exertion, and the
Vinners g.ined three or four more lengths before the
finish. The club then dined in their usual style at the
Star and Garter, Putney.

FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP BETWEEN THOMAS
SAYERS AND THE TIPTON SLASHER FOR 200 SOUS.
ASIDE.-This peculiar match, in which Thomas Sayers,
Whose outside weight is 10st. 121b5., and height 5 ft. 8
111., agair st the once formidable Tipton Slasher, whose
Stature is six feet, deopi e a leg which resembles a letter
and whose weight is 14 stone, created, of course,
much interest in pugilistic circles. It came off yester
day, after a shift from the coast of Essex to the
°Pposite shore, in rresence of au immense concourse
()i Patrons of " the polite art" of boxing. The Tip-
-41:1, in the first round, took some little lead, but in
4.1
'be subsequent ones Sayers took astonishing liberties
With his frontispiece, in a series of artful "draws," by
Which the old one was induced to f llow him, and g,it
terrilly punished by his opponent's shots in the retreat,
Jem Belcher, of olden fame. The Tipton gamely,
and with more courage than judgment, carried on this
losing game, till, what with bia fruitless exertions, hi,
thrown away blows, the heat of the day, and his serious
l'eceipts on body and head, he was utterly beaten, while
Yet on his legs ; and at the close of the eleventh round,
all hour and forty minutes having elapsed from the
altanaencement, Owen Swift, on the part of the Tipton
'limber, entered the ring and threw up the sponge, de-
al,aring he should fight no longer. Sayers was then
hailed the victor, adding anoth.r to the thousand ai,d
Ile proofs that youth veil The served.
