great oarsmen, has given to the world few
bstter men with the SOULS than handsome

his height would make him a six footer,
and his professional weight is l52 pounds.
His initial public appearance was at the
Grafton regatta in 1859, but the victory
that first gave him world wide prominence
was when he defeated Peter Kemp for
$1,000 a side on the Ncpean river Oct. IS,

q mile. In May, 1855, Matterson defeat
cd c. Messenger for $1,000 a side over the
Paramatta river championship course.
On Dec. Is Matterson lowered his colors
to W Black in a great race for the worlds
championship and 5000 over the same
course. He went TO England in February,
1885, and was beaten by George Perkins on
the Thames course May "a for 5000, the
Sportsman cup and the championship OF
England. He turned the tables on Perkins
Aug. 10 in q match for o., 600. A fortnight
later he bested Wallace Ross, but was beat
On by John Teemer. On Sept. 10, George
Lee worsted him. He then returned 10

for sl0Oo a side and the Tennyson cup,
Julyi, ISL. and again Oct. 20, 1855. Kemp's
