AQUATICS.

THE WINGFIELD SCULLS.

On Friday the trial heat for the Wingfield Sculls and

the Amateur Championship of the Thames was rowed
over the usual course from Putney to Mortlake, by the
challengers, Mr. W. Stout, of the London Rowing Club,
and Mr. E. B. Michell, of Magdalen College, Oxford. Mr.
Michell, we may mention, won the sculls in 1866, after a
severe race with Mr. W. B. Woodgate of Brasenose Col-
lege, Oxford, but retired last year, when Mr. Woodgate,
the only challenger, rowed over. The successes of Mr.
Stout at Henley and at the Metropolitan Regatta last
week made him a great favourite, and before the start
yesterday 2 to 1 was laid on his chance, though there was
no very great disposition to support Michell even at that
figure, as the ex-champion has shown very little in publics
lately. The men got to their stations at the Putney
Aqueduct—Stout on the Surrey side—a little after half-
past five. Stout was attended by Joe Sadler, in the bows
of a London twelve; Michell, who stripped to the buff,
was accompanied by a Leander. eight, and should have
been steered, we believe, by a gentleman who held posses-
sion of the bow thwart, but did nothing else in particular
during the race. Mr. Edward Searle' was starter, and
got them away about twenty minutes to six, on . a good
tide and with little wand, what there was of it being
favourable. Stout was the first to catch the water, and
rowing a quick stroke at the beginning, in a few yards
led by half a length. Michell, however, quickly over-
hauled him, opposite the Star and Garter seemed to us to
possess a slight lead, and was rowing well and with
certainly the best of it, when he fouled a barge with his
right scull opposite Simmons's and stopped. The only
warning he bad of this was from the steamer, his "coach "
giving no sign that was visible to any one. This accident
allowed Stout to draw clear, and at Bishop's Creek ho
was a length and a half ahead ; but going up the willows,
Michell picked up, and considerably decreased the dis-
tance between the boats. The same bad steering, how-
ever, was continued by the sternmost man, who kept
rowing right in Stout's wash ; and the little he had gained
was rapidly lost, especially after coming into the side-
wind which caught the boats after rounding Craven Point.
The race from th;s point to the finish needs little descrip-
tion. Michell could never again quite catch Stout, who,
keepingat the point, and drawing rapidly away after passing
splendidpoin course, was a length and a half in
front
the Dung Wharf, had placed two clear lengths between
the boats at the Soap Works. At Hammersmith Bridge,
passed exactly ten minutes after the start, tent led by
three clear lengths : at the Ait ho Lai doubled his lead;
and rowing quite within himself, and easing at Mortlake,
won ultimately by about eight lengths. Michell, who in
the last half-mile appeared much exhausted, fell out of
his boat directly he ceased rowing, but managed to swim
to his cutter, where he was at once taken on board. Stout
appeared nothing the worse, and it is evident that he was
a great deal more than a match for the Magdalen man,.
who, however, had he been better steered—or, rather, bad
he been steered at all—would, we fancy, have. stuck to
the leader a great deal longer than he did. Mr. E. D.
Brickwood, the umpire, was carried by the Citizen T.
steamer ; but the number of spectators on board was un
usually small. Mr. Stout will have to rgiv the kolder (lan
