GREAT BOAT RACE FOR £lOO.

The antagonism of the North and South was continued
yesterday in a scullers''contest between Robert Clasper, the
son of Henry Clasper, of the Tyne, and Edward Eagers, of
Chelsea, and a finer race has been rarely seen. It unfor-
tunately happened that the demerits of a foul were called
into account, a circumstance in every way to be regretted,
as most unsatisfactory to those who had speculated large
sums upon the result. The distance was from Putney to
Mortlake, and the odds 7to 4 and 2to lon Eagers. The
race did not start until nearly eight at night, when a great
number accompanied it on board steamers and in small
boats.
Clasper won the choice of stations, and took the Middle-
sex side. The men, both very small, looked well, and were
evidently anxious to get to work. The start was very fine,
and both men had their skulls at work at the same moment.
Clasper had a lead of about a foot, and at an extraordinary
pace they began their race, the water being as smooth as a
well-kept bowling-green. In a minute Eagers was level with
his man, and then in the succeeding three or four strokes they
made alternate shoots, still continuing at a great pace. At
Craven Cottage Clasper had drawn himself clear, but just as
they got to Hammersmith-bridge, Eagers, rowing anew and
with great power, came right upon his adversary, and a foul
was necessarily the result. At that time Clasper was lead-
ing by three-quarters of his length, and, getting away, was
at work again in fine style, when Eagers a second and a
third time foiled him, and then went in front. At first
Clasper did not seem disposed to row, but, again applying
himself to the work, came within a length and a half of
Eagers, in which position they finished. The referee, Mr.
Ireland, a gentleman of the London Rowing club, decided
that Clasper had fairly won the stakes, in which decision
every impartial aquatic man concurred.
