EXTRAORDINARY FEAT IN ROWING.
Ten days ago a match was made by Mr. Croswell, the wholesale
fishmonger of Blllingsgate, against time, for 50 sovereigns, that he and
William Lewis, a waterman belonging to the Old Swan-stairs, at Lon-
don-bridge, would row in a Thames wherry from Billingsgate down to
Gravesend, up through Richmond-bridge, and down to the Old Swan,
at London-bridge, in 13 hours and a halt. Considerable sums were laid
against the completion of so arduous an undertaking, and at starting
bets were two to one against the rowers. Exactly at half.past five
o'clock yesterday morning, Messrs. Cresswcll and Lewis started from
Billingsgate for Gravesend, attended by a six-oared cutter with the um.
plies. The morning was calm, although it rained heavily for some
time, and the tide in their favour almost the whole of the way
to Gravesend. They turned round without landing, and by that means
availed themselves of the flowing tide in coming up the river. At 20
minutes past 12 o'clock tney passed up through London-bridge, and
proceeded up the river without making any halt, and at three o'clock
they went through Richmond-bridge, and turned down the river, still
without stopping. About two miles below Richntond-bridge, the tide
was again favourable, the ebb having then commenced ; and such was
the strength of the rowers, and what is called •• pluck aid bottom,"
that at 20 minutes past dm o'clock in the afternoon they arrived at the
s old Swan Stairs, by that means winning the wager, with an hour and
40 minutes to spare. The whole distance rowed is 96 miles ; and the
oldest men on tae river, as well as amateurs., consider this fent unri.
valued in aquatic spurts. Much money enanged owners upon the result
of this performance.
