NEWCASTLE-ON-TyNE, May 5. 2.46, p. m. —After the men struck water the race was never in doubt, for Hanlan swept away while Hawdon splashed considerably. The latter soon settled down and put in some heavy work, striking as high as 43, while his opponent was swinging along, apparently without exertion, at 35. Hanlan assumed half length of lead in the first four hundred yards. When the Grindstone Quay was reached, Hanlan had drawn clear amid tremendous cheering from the bank. This nettled Hawdon, and he dashed into his work with even greater ferocity, throwing the water like angry surf behind his shell. Everyone expected to see Hanlan get ex- cited and quicken up, but he just seemed to watch his man like a cat, and responded by adding a little strength to his stroke, which seemed to lengthen but not quicken it. At Waterson Works, the Canadian had two lengths of lead and seemed to be going with the greatest ease, while his opponent was showing signs of having had enough of the race. Their stroke was caught—Han- lan, 32; Hawden, 38. Entering the nar- rows, between Armstrong’s Wharf and the Meadows, Hanlan put on a spurt—his effort being greeted with applause such as never before echoed from the Tyne. Without effort he quickened to 35, his stroke being gigantic. In 200 yards he swept ahead four lengths. Hawdon pursued gamely, but hopelessly, for, from this on, the Canadian amused himself. At the mouth of the Derwent he rested for a moment on his oars to yiew the scene, and a yell arose from the crowd, Hawdon looked around and made one last effort, but Hanlan re- sumed and paddled home, with six lengths to good—in 22 minutes, 5 seconds, slow time, but could have been much faster. Weather fine and a fifty thousand crowd.

SECOND DESPATCH.

NewcastLe-on-Tyne, May 5.—The morn- ing broke bright but witha strong westerly breeze iling, which made the water of the Tyne in unsheltered places very lumpy. The attendance was simply enormous, the lowest estimate placing the crowds who lined the banks and thronged the bridges at a hundred thousand. All the forenoon the streets were densely crowded with visitors from the surrounding towns. The miners in the neighborhood of Delaval, Elswick, Benwell and Scottswood. turning out to a man to see their favorite

‘““WHIP THE YANKEE.”

But the whipping did net come off and Hawdon is now a demolished idol. They believed him without a peer with the oars and had fondly dreamed that the day was not far distant when Elliott, the champion, would have fallen before his prowess. But they have been disappointed and English- men begin to fear that fer the second time the championship will go from them. Twelve steainers most of them small, accom- panied the race.

THE BETTING COMMENCED AT 3 To 1, being occasionally laid on Hanlan. At the

j start the price was five to two. on him, with

few takers. John Bright, who has accom- panied Hanlan in his practices and through whom the match was originally made, show- ed the Canadian over the course from the bows of an eight oared cutter. James Percy doing the same for Hawdon. Dr. Luke Armstrong, referee, took his place on board the official steamer precisely at 1.15, but the scullers did not show until a quarter of an hour later, Hanlan with, I am told, his usual never failing luck

WON THE CHOICE OF SIDES

and took the northern station, gaining a

slight shelter from the wind for he first

half mile. Both men looked in the very PERFECTION OF CONDITION

when they took their places at the starting boats. Hawdon stripped to the buff and was bareheaded. Hanlan wore a cardigan band round his head, and a blue sleeveless guernsey. They started by mutual consent at 1.40p.m. Hawdon getting the first cut at the water ; his boat getting nearly half a length in front. Hanlan evidently de- termined at the cutset to do or die, dashed away at A TERRIFIC STROKE of forty to the minute. Hawdon rowed a light clipping eatch of forty-two to the minute. Hanlan, who literally twice as fast as his antagonist, was level at the sixth stroke, and when they had gone fifty yards was leading half a length. It was A WONDERFUL PIECE OF SCULLING, and struck the spectators with amaze- ment. The Canadian, with a beautiful, long, clean, measured sweep, then rowed completely away from the Tyne sculler, and led by three lengths when they had gone a quarter of amile. Hawdon PULLED WITH ALL HIS FORUE, and put in the strokes with wonderful rapidity, but they did not seem to teil overmnuch on his rival’s lead. Hanlan now eased his stroke down to 30, and after- wards made himself quite comfortable. He did not increase his advantage, but looking

round, and waiting until his pursuer almost

got level with his row-locks, when he would put in a fast half dozen, and drew away again. TEN TO ONE

was laid on Hanlan when they had rowed half a mile, and these odds remained on offer. The time to Redlength Bridge, a trifle over half a mile on the journey, was three minutes and forty seconds. To the mile off Clark’s Foundry, where the water was very rough, 9 minutes and some seconds ; and to the two mile point, at Armstrong’s platform, 17 minutes and 50 seconds.

HANLON SIMPLY PLAYED WITH HIS MAN all this distance, and just after passing the two-mile point, stopped until Hawdon was on a level, then commenced laughing and shot away. One mile from the finish Hanlan stopped and actually

BALED THE WATER OUT OF HIS BOAT with a sponge, and then dashed ahead again. He led by eight lengths at: Scotts- wood Hanghs, and won by five boat lengths in 32 minutes 52 seconds. MHanlan had the race safely won after the first quarter of a mile, although Hawdon sculled in excellent form and pulled right through to the finish, for the first time realizing the length and hardness of a stern chase. Hanlan was loudly cheered a)l the way as he went and received an extraordinary reception, on his return to Newcastle. Evens were offered that Hanlan beats the English Champion in the forthcoming match ; and an offer was made to take 300 pounds to 200 pounds that no one names the winner of that

match. VERY LATEST.

NewcastL_e, May 5, 11 p. m.—Edward Hanlan was matched definitely to row William Elliot, of Blyth, for Cham- pionship, onthe 16th June next. A propo- sition was made on behalf of a London gentleman to match Wallace Ross against Hanlan, the winner to row for the cham- pionship,, but Ross, who was present, finally withdrew from the match. expressing a desire not to stand between his brother Canadian and the championship. When Hanlan had defeated Elliott, as he felt as- sured he would do, he (Ross) thonght it would be time enough to talk about a match between two Canadians on. English water.

Ross’s friends here have implicit con- fidence in his rowing powers, and think he would make an excellent fight against Han- lan, an opinion held before tu day’s contest, and not, strange to say, weakened by the exhibition the American champion made of Hawdon.
