THE DISPUTED RACE.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH-THIS DAT.

SADLER V. SMITH.

The case was resumed this morning.

Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Brickwood ap-
peared for the plaintiff ; and Sergeant Ballantine
and Mr. Garth for the defendant.

The first witness called was Mr. Willing, the
president of the University Boat Club. Having
stated the state of the water and the position of the
men at starting, the witness went on to say in the
ordinary course of things, Sadler in going towards
the aqueduct, in his opinion, was doing everything
to effect a start.

Lord Chief Justice—Did Kelley go so near the
other man as to challenge him for a start?
Witness--Certainly not.

Lord Chief Justice—l don't mean by words; but
did he ever go so near him as to give him au inti-
uaation that he was going to start ?

Witness—No, my lord; he never went within
fifty yards of him. 1 was iu the boat at Mortlake
after Kelley had rowed over the course ; but I
heard nothing about any inquiry being made about
the manner in which the match had been rowed.

Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l did
not see the umpires when Kelley made a communi-
cation to them, but they were not in the same part
of the boat that I was. Sadler was not bound to
remain near the cutter at starting. I don't know
what Kelley did when he made a communication to
the umpires. He did not row round the cutters, to
the best of my recollection. The river was not quite
clear at the time of starting, but there was nothing
to prevent my seeing both Kelley and Sadler at the
time. I don't know the practice of betting, as I do
not bet on boat races myself.

Lord Chief Justice—What was the exact pozi-
tion of both men when the alleged start took
place ?

Witness—About 50 yards ahead.
Lord Chief Justice—That would have made a
difference with respect to the race ?

Witness-, Yes, considerably.

Lord Chief Justice—Was the water at this time
in such a state that Sadler ought to have started
when Kelley invited' him to do so.

Witness— Certainly not. I should not have
started myself under such circumstanca.

Mr. Herbert Playford—l have rowed in a con-
siderable number of boat races, and was one of the
amateur champions of the river. I was captain of
the London Rowing Club, and have seen all the
races for the championship for the last twenty

•
years.
Mr. Brickwood—Now, speaking of your know-
ledge, how do watermen start for a match when no
starter is appointed.
Witness—Always by trying to get an advan-
tage over their opponent. (Loud laughter.)
Lord Chief Justice.—That is not the question.
Waen no starter is appointed do they start them-
selves?

V% i they do, my lord. 1 saw the men
onbottliehtshs—Ye
e 27th and 28th of November. Sadler
made two attempts to start, but I did not see
Kelley do so once. When. Sadler attempted to
start the river
.was unusually clear. I saw Kelley
row up the river, as I thought to warm himself.
Ho then stopped and went to the ump ire's boat,
and then rowed up the river. .At this time he
was 150 yards in advance of Sadler. Kelley
never gave Sadler time to come up to him before he
started. It is not usual for men to row in jerseys.
By Mr. Garth, Q.C.—lt is not, however, usual
for them to do so.

Lord Chief Justice—What is the usual mode of
starting ? Is the putting out the hands a challenge
to start ?

Witness—Yes, my lord. The other man would
understand that movement to be an invitation to
start. When both men did that, Sadler took a
stroke up, which Kelley did not.
James Messenger—l am barge builder to the
Queen, and have held the championship of the
Thames. I have also acted as umpire and referee
for Kelley on former occasions, but on the
one in question I acted as umpire for
Sadler. Watermen's races are always started by
themselves. On the 28th I was on board the um-
pire's boat. It drifted up nearly half a mile from
the starting point, so that they could hardly notice
how the men were. I saw Sadler attempt to start
once when the course was clear, but Kelley at this
time did not attempt to move, although I could see
nothing to have prevented him doing so had he felt
so disposed. About half an hour afterwards the
steamers began to back, and then Kelley
went to the umpire's boat. Bush said, "Kel-
ley, what's the matter with you ? " He
said, "I can't get Sadler to start. Bush
said "Then
you go over the course without him."
Mr. Biffin said " Kelley, if Sadler won't start,
you start without him, but be sure and tell him."
I said, Mr. Biffin, you have no right to tell Kelley
to start without his telling the other man. Mr.
Biffin said I am referee, and I shall carry out my
intention. I protested for Sadler, but Biffin seemed
to have made up his mind. I don't think the referee
could have seen what the men had been doing before
he gave the direction to start. I was standing along-
side the referee; I tried to see what they were doing
but could not. After these direction from Mr. Biffin,
Kelley rowed down the river, and I saw his boat
come back. Neither I nor the referee had any
means of seeing whether Kelley ever told Sadler to
start. When Kelly started the water was lumpy, and
the steamers were all higgledy-piggledy, and the
river was then not in a fair state for men to row in.
I never heard that Mr. Biffin made any inquiries
whether Kelley had given the message to Sadler. I
protested at
given to Kelly, at which place Mr. Biffin accorded
them to him. Mortlake against the stakes being
Before Kelley started to row over
the course
I suggested to Mr. Biffin to get
into a boat and go and tell Sadler that
he said he could not do so. I have known men to
row in jerseys,
but I have never rowed for the
championship in
one. The cold would interfere
with a man if he was weak in the chest.

Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l
firmly believe that Sadler intenled to row on the
occasion. He never said a word about going to a
doctor. I never heard Foster say a word about his
not rowing.

Lord Chief Justice—ln starting for watermens'
wagers, is it necessary for both men to be alongside
each other ?

Witness—Yes, my lord ; certainly.
George Ilanunerton--one of her Majesty's water-
men, said, I was Sadler's "coach".__ laughter)—on
the occasion of the match. He was in good condition,
to row on both days. I could see everything that
took place at the starting place. Sadler attempted
to start
by
taking a stroke, but Kelley remained
stationary. fie never put the sculls into the water
to make a stroke. Kelley could have started at
that time had he liked to have lost ground. On the
second attempt to start Sadler acted as on the first

was quite _smooth. (Sadler
nthe
the steamboats were lying. It was not until the
water had become rough by movement of the
tteamers that Kelley wished to start. At that
time Sadler, from his position, would get all the
" wash," and I heard Sadler tell Kelley it was fit
to start, as they were to have the steamers be-
hind them. Sadler proposed to have another start,
but Kelley rowed away to the umpire's boat. Sad-
ler complained to me that he felt chilly at being
kept waiting so long, and I advised him to put his
jersey on. He could have rowed very well iu
it, and I intended him to do so. There was no
other reason but to prevent obill in his putting
it on. Druitt was Kelley's " coach." I heard
Kelley tell Druitt to keep the cutter back, as he
was going to row over. Sadler during this time
was within the starting limit ; but Kelley was at
this period 200 yards higher up the river than his
opponent. Sadler, from his position, could nut
have known what Kelley was going to do. Kelley
was above the pier when he started, and was
actually going up the river when he spoke to
Pruitt. I am sure no communication was made to
Sadler before Kelley started, Sadler came up to

me to know what was the matter. Sadler. could
not at this time rowed. after Kelley, as the Fleamers
had gone up, and Sadler's boat would Y.ave been

had been awarded
to Kelley.

Cross-examined by Serjeant Bal ue—l never
heard Kelley called out to Sadler about his hum-
bugging him, and that if he started thou lie would
foul him (Kelley) in ten yards. I think the word
humbugging was used, but I don't know the mean-
ing of it. (Laughter.) I will be on any oath that
Kelley was not within 30 yards of Smiler when he
started, or that he ever called out to hint that he
was going then to row the match.
Ra-examined by Mr. Hawkins—Supposing the
men had started when they were close together,
and Sadler had fouled Kelley, that would have
given Kelley the race.

The Lord Chief Justice—Who fouled on the
first day ?

Sergeant Ballantinc—Oh, my lord, that was an
accidental one, and the race was in consequence
ordered to be rowed again.
William Itednap, one of the crew of Sadler's
cutter, said he had heard llaminerton's evidence,
and he agreed with it entirely.
RJ bert llillyer, another of the crew of the same
boat, agreed in opinion with the last witness.
Sergeant Ballantiue said he should not cross-
examine the witnesses on the point whether any
communication was made to Sadler before starting,
as he should call a number of witnesses to speak to
that point.

Mr. Hawkins said he would not call further evi-
dence to prove the practice of starting watermen's
matches if it was taken by the other side that the
men started themselves.

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said there would be no
objection to that.

Mr. Cox, captain of the Twickenham Racing
Club, said he was present at the match. He saw
Sadler attempt to start well, but there was no dis-
position on the part of Kelley to start at all. If any
intimation had been given to Sadler to start be mutt
have seen or heard it.
The case is not expected to conclude to-day.

The following appeared in our Latest Edition of yesterday
evening:—
This was an action to recover the value of the
stakes of a sculling match, which it was arranged
should be rowed for by the two celebrated scullers,
Kelley and Sadler. The date was fixed for the race,
and all the preliminaries were gone through, but it
resulted iu a fiasco, which caused great dissatisfac-
tion. The referee directed that both men should
row the wager again, and they attended at Putney
to do so the following day. Here it was as-
serted that Sadler so conducted himself that
Kelley was compelled to row over the course
undisputed, after which the stakes were
paid over to him, Sadler objecting to such a pro-
ceeding on the ground that Kelley had started with-
out giving him fair warning.
Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., was counsel for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine appeared for the de-
fendant.
Sadler, the plaintiff, was then examined, and
said that—Preliminaries of the match having been
arranged'l went to my starting place when Kelley
told me to get over, as I had got his water. I told
him I had not, but I moved away. The steamers
then began to move, and then Kelley made a dash
off. The steamers at this time had by their motion
made it most unfit to start. Kelley then rowed up
the river, as I thought to warm himself. The
weather was at this time very cold, and I then put
on my guernsey. I could not see Kelley at this
time, so I turned my boat round and went in
the direction of the starting-place, to be in readiness
for Kelley when he came back. Kelley came back,
but he did not come wi,hin 50 yards of me, and
then he went rowing up the river towards Mort-
lake. He never gave me any warning or intima-
tion that he was going to start.
The Lord Chief Justice—Did he bring his boat
close to yours, and give you any warning of his
starting ?
Witness continued—BeforeKelley started neither
the umpire nor any one else gave me the word to
start. I rowed over the course after I had heard
that Kelley had done so. When I got to Mortlake
I found Kelley had gone ashore.
Lord Chief Justice—Then the referee gave his
decision without speaking to you.
itness —Yes.

Lard Chief Justice--Were you anxious to start
that day ?
Witness— -Yes.

Lord Chief Justic3—You hal no intention of
abandoning the race ?
Witnes3—No, none whatever. I intended to
row in my guernsey, as the weather was cold. I
was not so well the first day as I was the second,
but that was through eating too much for dinner.
I had a couple of mutton chops or so, but I was all
right the second day.
Lord Chief Justice—Then you were in a fit
state to row on the second day.
Witness—Yes.

Lord Chief Justice--Were you a consenting
party when the stakes (0600) were handed over to
Kelley ?
Witness—l was not.
Lord Chief Justice—What are the rules on start-
ing in watermen's wagers ?
Witness—There is no starter. I wanted to have
one, but Kelley objected, and we started without
one. When 1. met Kelley at the Sportsnzart I asked
to have a starter appointed, and two boats so
moored as each should have a fair chance. They
were to Le moored in the direct course, and when
we were to start they were to let go, but this was
not agreed to, and the articles were signed to start
under the recognised rules. That is, by mutual
consent.

Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—Mr.
Foster never acted fur me in this matter further
than putting down a little money, which I was to
have if I won. I made all the arrangements my-
self, and the matter about a starter was talked about
before the agreement was signed. The referee, Mr.
Biflin, was first selected by me, and Kelley agreed
to him. With the exception of the referee, the
umpire, and the usage of there not being a starter,
you agreed that you were to be governed by the
printed rules of boat-racing, and your point is that
the umpire had no power over you until you had
started

The Lord Chief Justiqe—You had better not put
the question that way.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—very well, my lord.
Do you know of any other recognised rules than
those printed and observed by the Oxford and Cam-
bridge Boat Clubs ?

Witness—WA, no ; but I cannot read. The
guernsey I have produced is the one I actually wore
on the day I was to row. I have never rowed in
one before, but I have seen Drewitt row sitnilarily
attired. I rowed a race with Chambers; there was
a foul there. It was decided against me. I rowed
a race with Percy, a charge of fouling was there ; it
was decided against Percy. I rowed a race in Paris
against Kelley, but I was disivalitied in the race,
not for what I bad done.

Sergeant Ballantine—Ali, tbat is your opinion.
I take from what you say you would have started
when Kelley did ?
Witness—Yes ; bad the water been level and no
motion from the steamers I would have started of
course. I went to the starting point with the pur-
pose of going for the wager. I consulted the doctor,
Dr. Willis, the evening of the first race for a tight-
ness in the chest, but I had no cough. I will
swear I did not consult the doctor whether I should
row the race. I intended to do it. I have beaten
Kelley on one occasion, and I think I can do it now.
Sergeant Ballantine—llon't be too certain. You
mean to say you deliberately intended to start ?
Witness—Yes; I always thought I could win,
and I think so now. I did not tell Kelley I was
unwell. I have not spoken to him for twelve months.
I never saw Kelley speak to the referee. Kelley
never came to me and told me he had been ordered
by the referee to row the distance. Ile never came
within fifty yards of me, and I don't know that he
said anything to Messenger. I always desired to
row the race ; of course I was not in a position to
create a foul, and I never placed my boat in a posi-
tion to do so. Kelley at first said to me, " Your
boat is not straight," and I put it so.
Sergeant Ballantine—l thought you said you had
never spoken to Kelley for twelve mouths, but now
you say he had to tell you to put your boat
straight. Is that so ?

Witness—Yes.
Re-examined—The objection raised against me
at Paris was that I had a boat to coach me, which I
found out was not allowed. The boat tiler° was at
my request. I only asked Dr. Willis to give me
something to relieve a tightness at my chest—no-
thing more.
Mr. Egan, of Bell's Life, said, the day on which
the match was to have taken place was clear and
cold. I saw both men at the post to start, and
there seemed to me clearly to be a good opportunity
of a fair start bad both been desirous. Twice dur-
ing the period I speak of I saw distinctly a method
on the part of Sadler to start. Ile dipped his sculls
twice. Our steamboat was then floating up,
It and of
course it became difficult to see afterwards. ap-
peared to me that great delay took place after the

first opportunity to start had been lost: I did not
see two attempts to start, but'at the time I speak
of there was a good quiet passage open. Of course
there was some confusion caused by the delay. of
the start, as the steamers had to back water. I
don't know of any communication being sent from
the umpire's boat.
Lord Chief Justice—Did Kelley go and put his
boat in such a position as to give Sadler a fair
chance at a start?

Witness—No, he did not go near him. Water-
men, in rowing wagers, start by their arrangements.
The race ought to have been rowed according to
the printed rules of the Cambridge and Oxford
Boat Club.

ti4By Sergeant Ballantine—l don't think that
Sadler would have been justified iu waiting for two
days before he started. If I was referee, and had
to act, in the event of seeing one rdirer f a match
shaming for twenty minutes I should assume the
office of starter immediately.
Mr.. Garth, Q.C., read the mks with respect to
starting, and
Sergeant Ballantine said he begged to direct the
attention of the learned gentleman to the next rule,
which stated that where any rower refused to obey
the referee to start, such non-starting shall be taken
as a refusal to row, and upon that ru!e he should
rely.

The Lord Chief Justice to Wituess—Speaking
from what you saw on the second day, do you think
there was a fair opportunity offered to both men,
irrespective of the confusion, to start bad they felt
so disposed?
Witness—Yes, my lord, I do.
The further hearing of the case at this time was
adjourned until to-morrow.
