GREAT MATCH TO OXFORD AND BACK.
A Gentleman of the name of Curtis betted 100 to 20 sows. with
Messrs. Hawes, of the firm of Hawes and Co. Lambe* seed
Gentleman of the name of Hemmings, all celebrated amateurs le
aquatics, that tbey,with three other Gentlemen and ak coxswain. did
not row in a four oared cutter from Viernsiniter Bridget° lie:lb.
ky-luck, Oxford, and back to the place of retitle; 1ft.7.2 stkeei.iee
hours. The wager was accepted, and on Serday,nigfir, at twelve
o'clock, Messrs. Ilawes. Hemmings, MCC, Per 441 and
Clark, with J. 'Pinder, coxswain, started on their ardtipuit uudcr.
taking. A Gentleman on horseback preceded trent to prepare tie
29 locks they Lad to pass through, the dis.ance to Herilley h 1
111 miles. The Gentlemen rowed against tide, and linked ,e
Richmond at a quarter to two, br. akfasted at &Mee., and reached
Windsor Bridge (4 mike) in It hours and 5 minutes. They usi,
mately pulled up to Heathley lock in 40 hours, leaving tiknisetel
52 hours to return to Westniinster Bridge, which they did in ter.,
hours less than the given time, reaching the starring.place at sloe
o'clock en Tuesday night. A mattress w.it placed fore anal aft the
cutter for two of the Gentlemen to rest on while the other four
were rowing, and the coxswain was changed at Windsor for a mai
named Fish. The match excited the utmost interest among;,
number of Noblemen and Gentlemen amateurs —A trifling (lisps:,
has, however, arisen, and the bets remain far the present tgoorcidei
It is contended that the agreement specified, that these should he
seven persons in the cutter, vim four to row, two to relieve ace.
sionalky, and one to steer; and, it being understood that the Gets.
tlemert, finding they bad plenty of time to spare, dispensed, fir
part of the way, on coming down, with their extra oatsman. This
being considered an infringement of the articles, inquiry is making
into the subject in dispute.
