The articles of agreement for the sculling
match between Elliott and Boyd, stipulate
that the race shall be rowed on the Tyne
course. England. The first deposit of ESQ
will be made on the 31st instant, thesecond
deposit of ESQ on the 10Th OF December, and
the final deposit of e100 on the day before
the race. The day of the race is not yet
fixed. Elliott claims that he has greatly
improved his style of rowing, and is conf
dent OF being able to render a capital &C
count of himself when he again meets Han
Ian. A sporting paper says Elliott is
undoubtedly the stronger man, and if he
has really discovered how to utilize his
strength and to supplement it by availing |
himself of those mechanical contrivances
which contribute so greatly to Hanlan's
proWess, he ought to be able to defeat Han
Ian with some amount of ease. Elliott's
claim for the cup will be made Immediately.

agree that Hanlan has forfeited his title of
champion of England, as well as his claim
to the cup.
