FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL The Events of the Week---The Wheat Movement and Its Relation to the Market. STOCKS AND THEIR CHANGES Somé of the Effects of Rag Money— The Condition of Gold, Government, State and Railway Bonds. WALL STREET, Sunpay, Nov. 28, 1875, Mr, Bergh being returned from Hackensack and hav- ing possibly no critical case of cruelty to animals on hand at the present writing, we respectfully invite his attention to an enormity which daily marks the hours of Wall street life, Does Mr. Bergh know that day by day (Sundays and holidays excepted), while he is de- voting his time to redressing the wrongs of the piebald pigeon and the furtive fox, that a combat not less Gerce, because less bloody, is going on almost under his very nose? Did Mr. Bergh ever hear of bulls and bears and did he ever know of a set-to on the Stock Exchange between theee cornuted and ursine bipeds? If not we invite his attention to fresh flelds and pastures new—flelds with- out the ugly ditches, timber and bullfinches which must have been stumbling blocks for our philanthro- piste at the Hackensack bunt. There is no gore (in its sanguinary sense) {n the combat we refer to; no estripas as are called for in a Spanish bull fight, but a steady wear and tear of mind and boay, a loss of en- ergy, ambition ‘and hope, and not seldom a future of ruin and despair, Perhaps Mr. Borgh solaces himself with the sentiment of the remote but lamented Watts, that bears and bulls do grow! and fight For 'tis their nature to, and that therefore it would be “‘agin’ natur’ ”’ to inter- fere, But if our philanthropist can manage his society go as to extend its mission to the suppression of cru- elty to the human race; prevent pigeons being plucked in Wall street as he essays to prevent their being shot in matches; preserve brushes to Stock Exchange foxes, andina general manner reorganizo and regenerate ‘mankind, poople will forget his recent Quixotic tilt at Hackensack windmil.s and restore him to his real posi-- tion, that of ahumane but little too zealous President of & most admirable and commendable society. 1f the experience of the past two years has afforded any means of judging of the future nothing is easier of demonstration than that thore can be no real and per- manent prosperity in this country until gold is again ‘the only “legal tender” and paper currency, whether it be government or bank notes, is convertible on de- ‘mand, Bach day as it passes leaves behind some new evidence of the pure ‘‘cussedness”’ of our present ir- redeemable and ‘‘non-exportable money.’ Let the de- fenders of ‘the best money the world ever saw” examine the under stated facts and explain them if they can upon any other hypothesis than that the result ebown is the natural effect of a speculation which would have been impossible had the money of the na- ‘tion possessed intrinsic value and was therefore export, able. According to the official returns there was im- Ported of wheat intothe United Kingdom in October 5,144,080 cwt., against 9,758,934 cwt, last year, Tho United States have contributed less—viz., 1,714,543 owt, against 2,058,717 cwt. ; but from Russia there has Deen an increase from 611,212 cwt. in October, last year, to 1,006,537 cwt. this year; from Germany, an in- crease from 278,273 cwt. to 631,063 ewt. ; from France, from 56,160 ewt, to 169,887 cwt.; from Chill, from 85,301 cwt. to 111,833 cwt, and from British North America, from 406,144 cwt. to 620,426 cwt “Other countries” also show a moderate increase. THR WHEAT QUESTION IN SEPTEMBER AND NOVEMBER. The month of September was not materially different in its results than that of October, The total amount imported from September 1 to November 6, 1876, is 13,790,000 cwt, against 9,244,600 cwt for the same period in 1874 The estimated quantity afloat and bound to Great Britain on November 6, exceeded 7,200,000 cwt, making with that which has already arrived, a total of nearly 21,000,000 owt, or over thirty Percent of the total quantity estimated as-being re. quired to supply the aeficiency of the Kingdom for the year ending August 31, 1876, We nave frequently called attention to tne fact that Great Britain was being thus liberally supplied from other countries, while our own exports were even less than last year, The result of this folly is now shown in the state of the market on this side as represented in such daily reports as fol- Jows:—‘‘Wheat was dull and rather easier to purchase, ‘The export demand was quite moderate and mainly for medium and common gradea Millers bought a few small parcels and were disposed to hold off fora further woduction. The receipts were large, yet, neverthe- Jess, there was no great pressure to realize. In fact, so confident sre the Western owners of wheat in higher prices at no very distant day, thata large portion of the receipts are ordered in store on arrival.” itisalso shown in the unprecedented quantity on hand at the principal points of accumulation, amount- ing to over 17,000,000 bushels, of which it is estimated early 6,000,000 are in New York, 1,000,000 on the New York canals and railroads, 2,500,000 at Buffalo and about 1,000,000 on the lakes, making an aggregate of over 10,000,000 bushels in and en route to this port, nearly all of which is said to be under the control of three prominent grain merchants, who in- tend to hold it for higher prices. In view of these im- portant facts the readers of the Hera.p can form their own estimate of the probabilities of an active export demand during this winter as well as of the prospective movements from the interior after the actual close of inland navigation, What is true of the condition of the wheat market and the demand for its export isalso true of other productions, only in a less degree. They are all subject to the influence of speculation and ‘‘cheap’’ money. If this condition of the markets for our lead- ing articles of export is conducive to a healthy and rosperous trade, then we commend to the country a “non-exportable money” as the ‘‘greatest of blessings.” THE STOCK MARKET, The business of the week has not been suggestive of extraordinary confidence in the future of the market, and even the present is subject to such curious influ- ence that conservative operators avoid the privilege of guessing the whereabouts of “the little joker” as it passes {rom cup to cup. Add to this unsatisfactory condition the interposition of a holiday and a half, and it will be seen that there is little to be said concerning the outlook save that which attends a description of the small rise and fall of the several securities Dul- ness has been the ruling feature, and unless a chango ts enforced by the adoption of a rule reducing the rates of commissions, not as between brokers alone, but ap- olying to everybody engaged in rubbing the Alladin’s ‘amip of the street, the prevailing dry rot will continue, end the few who derive benefit may be counted on the Angers of one hand. It may be sately said that never ‘o tho history of Wallstreet has the lucality been so tompletcly demoralized by the existance of an auto- tratic power that makes or breaks things at will as it is at the.prosent time, The majority of brokers are get- ting poorer, The minority are a close corporation. As ‘ampies of THE RECENT EFFORTS TO MANIPULATE the market the following are specimens:—It was not dong ago reported that the treasury of the Lake Shore Ratlway Company was loaded down with surplus cash, whereupon up jumped the price of the stock some ten per cent, irrespective of the fact that the company’s payments on account of interest for the months of No- vember, December and January aggregated over $1,000,000. On the authority of a financial journal it ow appears that the company has recently increased the issue of its second consolidated mortgage bonds $500,000. Again, within the past week it was reported that the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad Company had in its treasury over $500,000, which, doing immediately sot down as applicable to a dividend, caused a demand for the preferred stock, carrying up the price abont two por cent, notwithstanding that on the Ist of January the company requires over $600,000 for the payment of interest, As regards the movements in the market for the week, the principal firmness was shown in Union Pacific, Northwest and St Paul preferred, while steadiness was maintained in Paciflc Mail, Lake Shore and the remainder of the list generally, except Wiew “ a tblrite of turpentine Srm 98 ‘and St, Joseph, common and preferred, which, after selling up respectively to 24% and 3244, declined to 223, and 29. Pacific Mail was held with a fluctuation of less than 1 percent above 40. Asarcason for this steadiness, and for the delay in the promised advance to 50, it is said that there are too many operators who still are nursing their burned fingers, which were scorched in handling Western Union last July at above 80 on the “‘positive’’ point that it would sell at 96. THE BANGM OF PRICES was as follows:—New York Central sold at 106 a 106%¢ 105%. Rock Island aavanced from 104% to 106, clos- ing at 10534. Michigan Central moved from 63% to 64%, closing at 6444. Illinois Central sold at 93 3¢ a 96, Delaware and Lackawanna was steady at about 119} a 119%. Missouri Pacific after sales at 125¢ rose to 18%, but ended at 12%. Ohio and Mississippis opened at 1834, sold at 19%; and closed at 18%. North- west common opened at 38%, sold at 307% and ended at 394. Northwest preferred advanced from 52% to 55 and closed at 54%. St, Paul opened at 354%, advanced to 367% and closed at 36%. St. Paul preferred sold at 6534 9 675¢ and ended at 66%. Union Paettic, after sales at 72%, rose to 7414, ending at 74%. Lake Shore vibrated between 614 a 624, and ended at 62%. Erie opened at 15%, sold up to 1634 and closed at 1644. Pacific Mail opened at 40, sold at 40% and closed at 40%.

The foreign commerce of the port for the week was as follows:—General merchandiso imports, imcluding dry goods, $2,983,749; produce exports, $5,519,647, and specie exports, $706,564. The total imports of merchandise since January 1, this year, were $242, 225,527, against $359,628, 792 for the corresponding period in 1874, and §362,362,002 in 1873, The total ex- ports of produce since January 1, were $227,663,764, against $260,149,145 in 1874, and $271,775,096 in 1873, The total exports of specie since January 1 were $66,801,685, against $49,611,046 in 1874, and $45,501,443 in 1873. The dry goods imports at this port for the week were $491,308, and the amount marketed $565,187. Tho total imports of dry goods at this port since Janu- ary 1, this year, were $85,017,730, and the total amount marketed $85,293,658. THE MONEY MARKET. There is nothing new to be recorded in this depart- ment. The supply of funds during the weck has been abundant, and call loans were made on the basis of 3 and 6 per cent, with the majority of transactions at 8% and 4 per cent. Prime grades of paper range from 634 to T per cent, with other qualities quoted all the way up to 12 per cent. The foreign exchanges were comparatively steady and the market quiet, the chief | business having been at 4.8334 a 4.84 for bankers’ long, and 4.87% a 487% for demand. The market closed dull at these quotations. The bank statement is unim- portant, showing less than usual changes, THE GOLD MARKET, There was an entire absence of excitement in this market, notwithstanding the prevalent rumors with regard to a possible war with some unknown foreign Power and the reported activity in naval circles. The principal purchases are traceable, it is said, to the personal friends of the administration, but the trans- actions were limited, and whatever gold they required was freely supplied. The highest price of the week was 114%, the lowest 11434. The close was made at 114%. The price during the last three or four days has been generally steady.

Par to prem. GOVERNMENT, STATE AND RAILWAY BONDS. United States bonds were generally quiet, and indi- cated no diminution in the demand for investment by individuals and corporations, The prices here show little change, but 1m London the record is made of an advance of from \ to &% per cent, which is ascribed in some quarters to the demand for export to the United States, In State bonds the principal sales have been in new Tennesses,’ Georgia sevens, Virginias and Louis- jana consola, The latter advanced two per cent, South Carolina consols are about steady, but there is little faith in the intentions of the Legislature, the wisdom of its so-called rulers or the ability of an already oppressed people to pro- vide for the onerous burdens that have been and are likely to be still farther imposed by a set of rapacious rascals, Railway bonds have been in unusually good request, and in several instances the highest prices of | the season were reached. This is especially true of Chicago and Northwest consolidated gold bonds, which advanced to and closed at 89%. The Pacific issues were likewise strong and active, Union Pacific firsts being quoted at 108%, the sinking funds at 90% and the land grants at 98%. Hannibal and St. Joseph con- vertivle 8's advanced to 8434, but reacted and closed ab 82. DOMESTIC MARKETS.

REPLY OF COLONEL MEEHAN TO HIS ACCUSERS— EFFRCTS OF PROFESSIONAL JEALOUSY. The evidence taken a week ago before the Senate Committee appointed to investigate the municipal de- partments of New York city drew attention once more to the management of the Dock Commission. The im- portant undertaking of building a water front, or rather a series of picrs and bulkheads around the shore line of Manhattan Island, is of the utmost interest, consider- ing ts bearing on the commerce of the The Dock Commission has now been in existence several years. The enterprise it took in hand is of such magnitude that it would be folly to look so early for any conspicuous advance in the works, the major part of which will always lie hidden be- neath the water, In the engineer who is most ac- tively engaged im carrying on the undertaking tho public naturally expect to find & man of unquestioned honor and capacity. As some reflection on the charac- ter of Colonel Meehan, who has been so prominently identified with the works since the beginning, were made in the testimony given before the committee, a Hxrato reporter yesterday interviewed Colonel Mee- han as to his early connection with the dock improve- ment. Ho said:— STARTING THB DOCK DEPARTMENT. “When I went into the Engineering Bureau of the department it was without an inch of paper. I went to work and selected a map of the harbor, which gave the celebrated survey of the water front of the city made in 1867, under directions of General Totten, Pro- feesor Bache and Professor Henry.

Van Bi then assistant engineer; but as 1 was told he was not likely to pore T urged the selection of General Graham. He was appointed in the summer of 1873, Aftersometme in his new position he showed a disposition to make alterations in the original plan of the work as decided upon by General McClellan, These innovations I deemed INJUDICIOUS AND USWISR, and in the most friendly spirit expostulated with him on his course of proceeding. He persisted, howover, until damage to a considerable extent was done and much professional ridicule excited. His next error was in redtcing the size of the Beton, or blocks of artificial sone, from fifty and sixty tons to ten tons, and thus defeating the purpose McClellan had in view when he causei to be built at acost of $140,000 a derrick capable of |ifting 100 tons, and said to be the greatest of its kind in the world. Another and most ridiculous tunovaticn was building “without bond” or breaking joints, that is, piling blocks on top of each other in the way you see children build toy houses, or men in their idle mements run up @ stack of dominoes just to see them tumble down again. In writing to the Commissioners at the time I said this method of build- originated with the traditional Damascus THR EN MASSE SYSTEM. Rerorrer—What s the opinion of the best engineers as to the en masse system employed by Geucral Graham? Colonel Mawtax—Engineers differ on the merits of the system. Between me and General Graham it is an honest difference of opinion, and if the committee of engineers now engaged in considering the question should decide against me I shall feel very litte an- noyed, Rurorter—You have boen charged before the Senate committee now \n session here with taking ten per cent on purchases of drawing materials, What auswer do youmake to it? Colonel Mexuay—The slander that 1 ever took a cent commission on any supplies furnished the department was started by a discharged clerk of the firm of Benoit & Woods, from whom the supplies of drawing mate rials were purchased, and by this means he succeeded entirely unknown to me in having the patronage of tho department withdrawn from Benoit & Woods and se- cured to himself It was a sharp, shrewd and cor- respondingly disgraceful trick. Ruvorter—What is the system of receiving and paying for supplies in the department? Colonel Mxxuax—When a requisition is sent for goods it is signed by tho person sent to purchase and the per- son who receives them. When the bill reaches me with a receipt and I recognize the receipients’ signature I sign, “Received correct,’ Now, in 1870, I personally super- vised the purchase of two bills of goods from Benoit & Woods, amounting in all to $835, but since that time I don’t believe I ever purchased a dollar's worth. At least half a dozen draughtsmen and employés were ac- customed to be sent to select and purchase goods. No one ever performed both duties. Within the last two ears and @ half I have signed as correct bills for nearly $400,000 worth of goods without ever being acquainted even by eyesight with the sellers of the goods. My book will give the names of gentlemen hving around the wa- ter front from whom purchases are made and whose bills for thousands of dollars I sign every few weeks a8 _ and yet none of them can say I ever spoke to em, Rxrorter—How do you stand at present with the department? lonel Mexmax—Well, Commissioner Wales, as I have been informed, after he came into the office, wanted me removed because, as he stated, he desired to have harmeny between the chief engineer and the first assistant éngineer, entirely forgetting the fact that the first assistant engineer has been in the work from the beginning, and knows the whole scheme from beginning to end. Nothing I court more than a full and healthy discussion of e ry, on ineering question involved in the present worl it will be all the better for the people, and too much cannot be learned in a sc ence that is every year adding to its acquisitions in knowledge, In regard to the course of action he should take in reference to the charge made against him before the Senate Committee Colonel Meehan said:—‘I have re- quested Senator Booth, chairman of the Investigating Committee, to have ‘the books of Benoit & Woo brought before him and examined im reference to the overcharges and commissions.” THE BROOKLYN RESERVOIR. ACTION DELAYED BY THE COMMITTEE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL-—OPINIONS OF BROOKLYN CITIZENS ON THE A¥FAIR. It was understood yesterday that the Committee of the Common Council on Law, Water and Drainage, which met on Saturday night to consider the report which they had prepared in favor of appropriating $500,000 for the completion of the uow storage reser- voir at Hempstead, L. I, had determined to delay ac- tion in the matter, The reason for so doing ts that—in view of the pending prosecution of the contractors, Mossrs, Kingsley & Keeney, and the members of the Board of City Works, who authorized the constraction of the work—it would not be wisdom on their part to recommend the expenditure, The probability is, there- fore, that no action will-be taken in the premises by the Board of Aldermen at the meeting to-day. The printed slips of the report of the committee, which bad been sent to the local newspapers, are, therefore, with- drawn for the present, ALDERMAN ROPES’ VIEWS, Alderman Ropes, who was at the meeting of tho committee on Saturday evening, but who is not a | member of the Water and Drainage Committee, said | yesterday he advised with them as to the course he deemed best to pursue. There should be no more money, he thought, expended on the work until the stone facing. of the dam at the reservoir was complete. 80 as to test itand find out whether it will hold water or now The members of the committee said they had proof of this from the engineers, who certify that the work 1s well done; that they had also the opinion of William M. Evarts and General Tracy as to the legality of the contract. In his opinion, Alderman Ropes say it would cost about $20,000 to complete the basin, an | then they could tell whether the Reservoir was good } for anything or not, R, BLISS ON THR CONTRACT. In an Interview with Mr. A. M, Bliss, that gentle- man said that at the time tho reservoir and sewer con- tracts were awarded he was a minority member of the Board, and had little or no voice in its action. The record would show that he voted against the Hempstead reservoir project, and gave as his reasons that there was a question as to the necessity of the work and that there was a strong public senti- | ment against it, to which he deferred. As to the Third avenue sewer contract, he said that he had not the slightest recollection whether he voted for it or not, or whether the contract was awarded while he was present in the Board, He declares that in | all bis official actions he has endeavored to act for the public good, and that he is not only will- ing, but anxious, to submit his official record to the closest public scrutiny, He has no doubt Mr, Fowler, the President of the Board, will bear him out in the as- sertion that at no time had he (Mr. Bliss) any control over the policy of the Board or its | action. Mr, Bliss adds that he had no per- | sonal knowledge of any corrupt measures passed by the Board, He has olten doubted the policy of its action as controlled by his fellow members. In con- clusion be expressed surprise that his name should | have beon used in connection with the matter, At the | same time he emphatically declares that his official acts will bear any honest investigation, and that he does not shrink from this before any proper tribunal, WHAT MR, FOWLER SAYS. A Heracp reporter called on Commissioner Fowler im reference to bis interview with Mr. Bliss, Mr, Fowler said:—‘I have nothing to say beyond what L have already stated—that I am anxious for the prose- cution of the suit. There was ono thing that looked singular; that was why they had included Mr. Bliss in & suit on a contract against which he voted,” With reference to the statement of Mr. Bliss that ho was a minority member of the Board and did not have | f . Manufacture that will yield $100,000 profit annually. Apply | at times the power that he desired to have, Mr, Fowler re- ai plied, “That is true; Mr. Bliss was the republican mem- ber of the Board; the other two Commissioners were democrats, and we sometimes differed with reference to the policy of the department, as in the action of the reservoir question Whatever action the Board took in the matter I feel satisfied was taken solely from @ sense of public duty." MR. SAMUEL MUTCHTNSON, of the Taxpayers’ Association, says they will employ another lawyer to assist Mr.’ Cathern, who has beon getting up the affidavits for Mr. Parsons to gather testi- mony against the parties implicated. A meeting of the association will be held on Tuesday night,to raise funds to pay the counsel, but he would not say where the meeting is to be held, as the greatest secrecy is neces- sury to secure success, BROOKLYN RING SUITS. The proposed prosecution of the members of the Brooklyn “Ring” was a subject of widespread com- ment in that citv yesterday, A reporter yesterday visited Mr. John E. Parsons at his residence, No. 208 Madison avenue, New York, with reforence to the pro- posed prosecutions, Mr, Parsons said that technically and officially be had not as yet accepted the position tendered him by Attorney General Pratt as prosecut- | ing officer for the State against the members of the al- leged corrupt combination of Brooklyn officials and con- tractors, He believed, however, that he probably would accept. He would push matters to the utmost when once he undertook the cause, Having recommended the suits, he would prosecute them, both civilly and criminally. The civil suits would be the first to be commenced, as they could then attach the property of the defendants, Alter that the criininal suits could be brought. He had selected the reservoir and the Third avenue sewer Jobs because he thought they would be sufficient to begin with. MAIL BAGS LOST.

THE ENGLISH SCULLERS’ RACE, AN EXCITING CONTEST BETWEEN BOYD AND SAD- LER—SADLER THE WINNER. {From the London Standard, Nov. 16.) Yesterday, after a gallant struggle for a mile, J. H. Sadler? the representative of the Thauies, defeated R, W. Boyd, the Tynesider, easily, and retained the cham- plonship of the world on the Thames SCHXKS ON SHORE AND ON THE RIVER. It was a beautiful morning, calm and bright for No- vember, and not ® ripple on the river, This state of the elements after the terrible storms of the previous two days was quite unexpected and doubly welcome, as it removed all chance of accident from wind or waves, and it enabled each man to do his best without bin- drance and show himself off in his best form. The late rains have caused quite a flood im the river, so much 80 that the tides at flood have overtiowed all the low-lying districts by the riverside, and the towing path along the whole course was three to four feet deep in water, A few adventurous horsemen were seen at places galloping along in the water at the risk of tum- bling into a hole, and a few pedestrians were here and there plodding along in the water, At Barnes the in- habitants on the terrace had to protect their doorways with wood and clay, for the tide had invaded the road- way, and as the steamers went by the swell rolled tn over all temporary protection. With such @ flood in the river as this the tide could make little headway. ‘There was hardly any current to speak of two hours before high water, and to ayoid all chance of being stuck at Hainmerimith Bridge, and to insure at least some tide with the men, the start was fixed to take place as soon after a quarter ead two as possible, over le! an hour and a haif before high water. BOYD has been on the Thames four days, sufficiently long to familiarize himself with the landmarks and to recover from any adverse effects lting from his journey south; but when he stripped he hardly showed such fine muscle and perfect con- dition as might be expected for the long course. His shoulders and neck appeared to be thickly laid with flesh, whereas Sadler, who is naturally a long and sinewy man, was trained in very good condition, though apparently thin; but bis arms and back showed the clear run of his muscles, and failure from want of con- dition would not be the excuse. We did not hear the exact weight of each man, but Boyd looked perhaps 11 st. 3 lbs., and Sadler about 11 st. or under, Harry Kelley used to race at about 10 st. 8 Iba at his prime, Bob Chambers generally scalod 11 st, 7 lbs, or there- abouts, and Renforth pulled down the scale at 11 st 4 Iba. Coombes, perhaps, was the lightest man that ever won the championship, and he secured many of nis best victories under 10 st. Rarely at a champion raco bas there been 80 LITTLE BETTING, The north countrymen were this time divided, and one large section of them were stanch supporters of Sadler, so that, instead of it being even betting, the bulk of the money was behind Sadler, and it made it 6 to 4 upon him all the morning up to the start; in fact, 7 to 4 was more than once laid. SADLER WAS STEKEED BY GREKN, of Hammersmith, from the bows of a twelve-oar, while Percy, in an eight, steered Boyd. Sadler won the toss and took the Middlesex side; but as the starting boats were moored opposite the Star and Garter, well in mid- stream, he did not gain much advantage by his station. Mr. J. Ireland umpired from the bows of the umpire’s steamer, There were not many boats about on tho river till near the Soap Works and at Mortlake; but ex- copt just at the finish, when a clumsy pair rowed across Boyd’s bows, nothing occurred to raise up any fears of en accident, THE BTART—THE STRUGGLE AND VICTORY. At the start Boyd caught his scall at tho finish for tho first few strokes, and did not show ahead; but when once steady he began to pile it onat a tremendous rate, and we timed bim at 438, opposite the Creek, and here he was half a length ahead, Sadler was also sculling very fast, at one time 38, but before the Point he had got down to 37, while Boyd was sculling 41, a difference of four strokes per minute. From the very start the differ- ence in style was most marked. Sadler, though sculling at this high pressure, never lost his form for a moment. He reached out well forward, worked the stroke through with his back and legs, and sat up well at the finish, so that his sculls came out of tho water cleanly; but Boyd was catching the water at the end of each stroke, and from his huddled up style at tho finish of his stroke he had to do all arm work when his back ought to be used, his elbows were out wide, and as he got ex- hausted with the pace of stroke he could barely get his sculls out of the water. So much for the styles of the men, Sadler's was simply perfect; Boyd’s was full of faults, so much so that nothing but wonderful power could have enabled him to lead 30 long. As Boyd took the lead by the steps below the Point, and the two men came together so that their positions could be fairly ascertained, his backers were jubilant at sceing day- light between the boats, and several small bets, at odds on him, were given, but in the shoot Sadier’s slower stroke began to teil, and he closed up Boyd’s lead so much that before the Grass Wharf he was overlapping. Boyd here was washing Sadler, and the latter, not keeping his boat quite straight, a foul appeared immi- neut; but it was not the desire of either man to win by a foul, or cause even a wrangle, and Boyd fave away again, a course which’ Sadler fol- {Owed soon ‘after’ when he found bimselt pass- ing over to the Surrey shore too uch. They had now rowed # mile; Boyd was stilldoing 40, Sadler 36 to 37, and this terrible pace now began to tell. Sadler slowly crept up, the lead lessened, daylight disappeared, and as he looked round to see how his antagonist fared, he foreshadowed the result, for Boyd was now fast getting slower, and opposite the Crab ‘Tree Saddler sculled up level, ‘and ina dozen more strokes he was a length clear. It was all over now; Boyd was utterly rowed out, he doubled over his sculls, and bent his arms like a tyro in his maiden race; the pace and style had killed him, and he did not recover his wind until t the bridge, by which time Sadler was many length ahead, Sadler reached Hammersmith Bridge inlOm. los, and if we add thirty seconds for the start from the Star and Garter, some idea of the tide may be formed. The top of Chiswick Eyot was reached in 16m. exactly ‘Sadler sculling 34 long and well. Boyd was steadily work- ing in the rear, at quite seven strokesa minute less than he started with; all hopes of his winning were at an end, barring accidents, but he never faltered in his stern chase. Sadler reached Barnes Bridge in 23m. lis, Boyd 858. after; and then Sadler, easing toward the finish, and Boyd quickening up, allowed the latter to get within ten strokes of him at the end, We took THR TIME, 23m. 4 4.6%, by a watch by Messrs. Hancocks, Bruton street, and it can be relied upen. After the race, owing to the high tide, there was a most amusing scene at Hammersmith Bridge, as none of the steamers could get under, and had to hang about until the tide turned. Ibis expected that this will be SADLER'S LAST RACE. He will shortly be put up in a boat house at Ted- dington, where there 1s at present great want of accom- modation, and by attention to his business, and with the same perseverance that has secured hun the highest honors, aver eleven years, since his first struggle with Bob Chambers for the title in 1806, be is certain to succeed, Boyd is young and can afford to wait’ Failure in his first match will-only add zest to his nextone. When Sadler retires, he will have no one to contest the fleld unless Higgins or some new light appears, ‘The toliowing is a LIST OF CHAMPIONS since the race was first rowed in 1831, taken from the “Rowing Almanack” ;— 1831.
