THE SCULLING CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD.

HANLAN THE WINNER

LATER DESPATCH

HANLAN PLAYED WITH TRICKETT,

SKtiPOM has so much interest been taken in an English oventasinthegreatsculling match for the Championship of the World,between Hanlan, the Canadian oarsman, and Tric kett, the Australian Champion and holder of the Championship of the World by virtue of his victory over Sadler. All classes, not excepting the ladies, were in a state of ex pectancy, and large sums ot money hung on the result, the betting being influenced in no small degree by national sympathies— the Australians, to a man, backing Trickett, and the Americans going with equal unani mity for the Canadian. We had made special arrangements for a direct cablegram giving the result to be despatched the instant the race was over. The match was fixed for half-past one o'clock yesterday (Mon day). Allowing for delays and the time occupied by the race, we may suppose that our message giving the result would be put into the London ollice at about two o'clock in the afternoon, Greenwich time. This, according to Auckland time, would bo a quarter to two this (Tuesday) morning. At 10.34 our message was forwarded from the New Zealand cable station to Auckland, reaching us in sixteen minutes, namely, at 10.50, or in ten miuutes under nine hours from London, A Stab extra was issued at onco, anticipating all others by some hours, as follows :—

SPECIAL CABLW TO " STAR.

LONDON, Monday.

The great sculling match between Trickett and Hanlan took place to-day (Monday) for tho chumpiouship of the world.

Hanlan won the race easily,

We believe the time occupied by our message from London is the shortest on record? Special urgent rates were resorted to at every stage where practicable.

FULL PARTICULARS.

IKEUTER'S SPECIAL CABLEGRAMS.]

LONDON, November 15. The greatest interest was taken in the race for the Championship to-day.

The attendance of tho public was enor mous. The crowds lined the banks of the river along the course.

Betting at start was greatly in favour of Baulau, who was in splendid form.

The two men went off with a good start and in smooth water, Hanlan commencing with 2S aud Trickett with 34 strokes a minute.

They kept together for half-a-mile pulling evenly, but aftcwrads Hau lan took the lead and played with Trickett during the lust ihree miles winning rather easily by fully two lengths. The time of the race wa3 2Gmin. 12secs.

The contest, -which was arranged imme diately after the defeat of Uanlau at Toronto, Canada, was for £200 a side and the championship of the world, held by the Australian. Trickett proceeded to England in July, and trained iv company •with Laycock, the other Australian, ilanlau went to England in September, and has been training steadily since then. At the time of his departure from Canada, the fol lowing remarks were made in reference to him by the Boston " Herald " :— " Haulan's backers will follow their favourite across, aud will bet their bottom dollar on him. They, as well as Hanlnn, consider the prospects in the coming race as the most brilliant yet offered, as the people in England are inclined to bet heavily on 'lriekett. The Canadian ig now rowing in Toronto Bay with his old time speed and skill.and feel confident of winning. liickett lias been watched in Australia for over a year past and it is asserted that tlie Canadians have got his full measure down to perfection. Ilanlan himself has said that ho will defeat Trickett as easily as he did Elliott." An English paper made the following reference to H aulan on his arrival there from America -.—Yester day, about mid-day, Hanlau proceeded by train to Scotswood with the intention of having a spin. He rowed down the river for about half a-mile, and then turning made his way up to Stella. On returning he came to shore after having had a very useful spin, jtud he rowed the same clean, powerfnl stroke for which he is distinguished, aud his action was much freer than it was on the previous day. He says that he is gradually recovering from the sea sickness from which he suffered on his voyage. The Australians went into training together about the same time, and the '• Sportsman thus signalised their advent:—" After making all allowances for strange boats and muiUs, the display on the part of the colo nists was disappointing to the general body of the spectators, and if Trickett exhibited his true form he will not carry much Tyne side money in bis forthcoming match with Hanlan. To show the feeling of the people at Scotswood yesterday we may mention that we heard an otter of 100 to 50 that Hanlan takes the lead in the first lOOyards. ' Some of the London Sporting journals, notably the "Referee," strongly attacsed the style of both Laycock and Trickett, aDd in betting the odds were considerably against them. "Pendragon" writing in the " Referee " said :—" Australian papers state that Trickett has been unjustly treated here, as he and not Hanlon in. troduced the long slide and slow stroke into England. If Trickett thinks the sort of fcrm he showed when preparing for Sadler, Is anything like Hanlan's, either for time or speed, he will be waked up suddenly when he sees the Canadian 'twixt now and November. Antipodean strictures as to the long slide and its inven tion make it appear as if Trickett has no suspicion of the profound change 79 worked in professional rowing. This only makes the impending match more puzzling than it was previously. Maybe writers upon row ing in Australia know nothing whatever about it; but whatever may be their in« ventive claims tor Trickett, it is an un deniable fact that on his old show he hna not a million to one chance against Hanlan, provided the latter is fit and spinning. Hanian'a doctor, Hanlan's friends, and Huiilan's representative newspapers all state than he is quite recovered from his recent indisposition, and that he will row nobody until he rows Trickett." Notwithstanding the unfavourable criti cisms, the betting soon improved to 3 to 2 againßt Trickett. The subsequent victories against, Laycock appear to have given Trickett a higher poaition in the public estimation, as only three or four days ago a cablegram from England announced that betting was even. Latest advices from England spoke encouragingly of Trickett's form, and he was represented to be in very fit condition. He was to have rowed in a strongly-built boat built by Jowett,:of Dun stan-on-Tyne, and which weighed 291bs. The latest from the London "Sportsman" in reference to Hanlan was to the effect that Hanlan was not only rowing easier in style and going back two inches farther in his slide than on his previous visit, but was rowing faster in pace than when he rowed Elliott. The dimensions of his new boat from Swaddle and Winship's yard are as follows : Length, 30ft 9in; beam, llin ; height at the stem, 3 jin; height amidships, BJiu ; and height at the stern, 2Jin, her slide having a run of 26in. Weight, 24i1b3. The following particulars regarding the previous performances of the competitors will doubtless be read with interest :— THE CAREtK OF HANLAN. Edward Hanlan, the tormer champion ot England, and by nis victory over Trickett, the champion of the world, was bom in the city of Toronto, Canada, and is now in his twenty-sixth year. His rowing career has been a series of the most remarkable and brilliant victories that have ever fallen to the lot of any sculler. His first race was at tho age of sixteen, when, with others, he scored his first win in a fisherman's race at Toronto Bay. After winning some minor races, he made his nrst appearance in a "shell" in 1873, and won the championship of the Bay, defeating two others. In 1874 he won the championship of Burlington Bay from London, and de feated the same sculler again in a private match. He next carried off the Governor General's medal at the Toronto Regatta, and then won the champion belt and another race at Lake Ontario. At the Centennial Regatta, held during the Philadelphia Ex hibition, he beat Coulter, Luther, Plaisted, and others in the various heata; and he would probably have met Hisgins, vho was subsequently champion of England, were it not that the latter claimed a foul by Luther in the fourth heat; and the two men being ordered to row over again, the English sculler did not put in an appearance at the hour appointed. In the following heat Hanlau]; defeated, Plaisted and Suther, two scullers of renown in America, and then won the final from Bray ley, after a close and exciting race, in the fastest time recorded up to that date. Han

lan'a next nppoaranoe was ;it thn Silver Lake |Uegattn, Near Boston, where he miU'erod his (irst defeat, having had the mis fortiiua to break one ot bin outriggers. Ho was disqualified for fouling Pluistod at tlie Civic Regatta, in Boston harbour, on the •Xli July, Imt the disqualification was sub sequently removed. A match was thon made for him with Wallace Ross for £1000 a side and the Championship of the Dominion of Canada, which Haulau won as ho pleased. This closed the season for 1577. During the following season he met and defeated s. A. Flaisted, of Mew York—the only man that up to the present lied finished in front of the Canadian wonder—for 1,000 dollars a-sido ; and Morris, of Pittsburgh, for the Championship. In an open live-mile race ut Brookvillo, with prizes of .500, 800, and •200 dollars tor the first, second, and third moo, Jllaulan won easily, defeating the liuest collection of oarsmen ever seen in Uunnda, and followed up his success by defeating the best ot the same men for the Scullers' Kaco at the Cape St. Vincent Regatta on the 4th July 187 S. He soon after rowed a match against his old op ponent, Wallace Ross, for 1,000 dollars a-sido on the Konebeccassin ltivcr, Kt. John's, Mew Brunswick, and won with ease, Ross having met with an accident in ttie race. At the Jiarrio Regatta he mot and defeated ten of the best oarsmen of the whole Continent of America, including Morris, Elliott, l'laisted, Coulter, Luther, UoBB (two) aud others. This race was four miles, with a turn, for the usual thousand dollars, From 1871 up to this time he had rowed twenty-eight races, and won twenty - six with comparative case, Biillering one defeat, through an accident, at tdo hands of Plaisted, whom he subse quently defeated. His next greai match in America was against Charles E. Courtney, of Union Springs, New York, who is des cribed as a giant compared to his opponent, tlanlan, standing 6ft lin, and weighing, when trained, 12J stone. His physique and power, however, availed him little, for he was obliged to succumb to the Canadian after one of the most remarkable aud cxci t ing races on record. It should be mentioned here that tlanlan had previously challenged Trickett, of Sydney, to row for the cham pionship of the world aud £500 a side over a three or live mile course at Toronto, the race to come oil' in August last year, but this challenge was not accepted by the Sydney man. This wonderful sculler, for we can scarcely dos cribe the Canadian by any other term, is next heard of in England, where lie de feated Hawdon, one of the best of the second rate scullers, iv the Lollowest fashion. Uanlaii afterwards became cham pion of England by his easy defeat of Elliott. Hanlan was subsequently defeated iv the tlopbitters contest at Toronto at the end of last year, having given up ill the middle of the race and complained of hav ing a Jstitch in the side. Ihe match with Trickett was arranged subsequently, and das resulted in an easy victory for the Canadian Champion.

EDWARD XRIOKETT,

Edward Trickett, the Australian :om l>etitor, was born at Woolwich near Sydney, New South Wales, und is now about 29 years of age. He stands G foet I!i inches in height, aud when iv condition weights beteen 12at 41bs and 12st 71bs. He is a quarrymau by trade. During his exercises at sculling, he attracted the attention of Mr James Punch, of Sydney, an excellent judge of rowing, and he iv 1575 offered to oack him agaiust any man in the colonies. Hush, who had previously defeated Trickett, did not care to eugatre iv a contest with tho riniug young sculler, but Laecock, then a young fellow, unknown to fame accepted the challenge, aud they rowed together on the Paramatta Kiver, when Laycock was defeated easily. Mv Punch and a few friends then determined jthat Trickett, whom they believed to be a superior man to Green, should go to England, aud arrange ments having been made ho did so.. They arrived thereon the day that the.Oxford and Cambridge match was decided, and Sadler, the then champion of the world, was present at the race. He was at once challenged by Trickett, and a match was made lor £201) and the championship. Odds of sto 2 and 3 to 1 were at once laid on Sadler, but when the Australian had been a week or two at work, English papersspoke very highly of him the " Sporting Life" pronouncing his reach something wonderful, and as Kelley, the ex-champion of the Thames, could find little or no fault with him, tho north countrymen fancied the Australian, and the odds on tho Englishman sensibly decreased. The contest eventually resulted in a victory by four lengths for Trickott, who then became famous. He was challenged by Iliggins, but declined, aud left England immediately. On his return to Australia, he rowed several times against Laycock, and in one of these matches the latter was Successful. Tiickett'a, friends pleaded ill ness, aud iv a subsequent match their favourite wiped out the disgrace by defeating Laycock. Sinco nis previous trip to fcngiand, Trickett bus been traiuiug irregularly, aud has competed only at the New South Wales .Regattas and iv the matches with Laycock.

DUNEDIN, this day, THE BETTING AT DUNEDIN.

Considerable money changed hands on the boat race. The betting on Trickett was 3 to 4.

AUCKLAND INSTITUTE.

The last meeting of tho year in connection with the Auckland Institute and Museum was held last evening in the lecture hall, Princes-street, at which Dr. Purchas, the President, filled the chair. The Secretary, Mr Oheeseraan. read a list of donations, and stated that Mrs Stodart, of Ponsonby, had become a member. The donations consisted of sheila from the Chatham Isles, presented by Mr A. Shank ; nest of grey warbler, Mr W. C. Ryland ; curiosities from Abyssinia, Mr A. H. Speedy ; minerals from Kaukapa kapa, Mr Neil Thomson ; patent fuel, manufactured from Waikato coal, Mr J. T. Mackelvie ; the anthropology of the Novara expedition, Mr Ed. Plumley. A set of the " Jonrnal of the Royal Agricultural Society' (41 vols.), from J. T. Mackelvie, Esq., were also acknowledged. Dr. Purchas said these interesting volumes were not yet to hand, but were in the harbour. They had been brought out free of cost by the N.Z. Shipping Company. On tho motion of Mr Firth, seconded by the Hon. H. Chamber lin votes of thanks were unanimously carried to Mr Mackelvie. Thomas Russell, Esq for gifts of statuary, and tha New Zealand Shipping Company. A paper on " Bee.troot Sugar," written by Mr K. Hunt, was read by Mi J. A. Pond. The paper was intended as an addenda to Dr. Curll s paper, read at the previous meeting. Mr Hunt agreed with the views set forth by Dr. Curll, and considered that the thanks of members were duo to that gentleman for the valuable information contained in his paper. The beet upon which Dr. Curll had experimented was grown in Raogitikei, which possessed a rich loamy soil, very suitable to the plant. It might be stated that 1 per cent, of saccharine matter was equal to 7i per cent, profit. It was not favourable to the yield of saccharine matter that it should be grown on sea-coast lands, because 1 per cent, of salt destroyed nearly 5 per cent, of saccharine matter. The facilities for growing beet wore favour able—much more favourable than formerly. Labour was not so dear, coal was cheaper, there was an abundant supply of water, and, by means of tho railway, quicker transit. Dr Curll, in his paper, spoke of 60 percent of profit, and that appeared very extra ordinary. He (Mr Hunt) did not think it extravagant. The cost of production might be stated of £18 a ton of sugar, but the prices of sugar ranged in different places from £26 the ton to £43 retail, or £33 whole sale. The refuse of beet, moreover, from which the sugar was made, formed excellent footl lor cattle. The next paper was by the chief sur vnyor Mr Percy Smith, on " Some Indica tions of Change in the Level of the Coast line on the North Island of New Zealand, which cave a detailed account of the writer s ideas toward correct estimates of the coast line level, and endeavoured to show that the natural indications which furnished the material for observation and reference were in favour of tho elevation ot the Coast line level. Some remarks upon Mr Smith's paper were offered by Mr Johnson and Mr Firth. The last paper of the evening, wa3 a very valuable one on " Heredity," by E. A. Mackechnie, Esq., who is a pains taking and careful writer on whatever subject he takes in hand. In his opening remarks, Mr Mackechnie briefly reviewed the theory advanced by Mr Galton, and glanced at his statistical conclusions in support of his views. A number of examples were given to show that qualities of mind were,, to a certain extent, inherited, and influenced tho whole organism. The writer made some wise and judicious remarks upon marriages, which might be improved by careful selec tion and tend towards the physical and moral happiness of the race. The laws which governed the improvement of animal life were held to be as imperative in regard to the human being as in the lower ranks of creation. Another effect would probably be to pay greater attention to those laws to which both the physical and the intellectual character of man are intimately related. The theory was not applicable merely to the individual of the family, but would deter

mine even tho character of nations. Kings and governments had, from various motives of policy or ambition, consented to the destruction of the bravest—the moat intel lectual—of their subjects, aud the conse quence soon became apparent, in the degradation of the national type. Mr Mackechnie'a was a most important tssay characterised by thought, and worthy of study. Rev. S. Edger expressed his approval ot the paper, and regretted that it should have been left, to the close of the session, and hoped that Mr Mackeclmio might lie induced to read it again in the next session with a view to discussing its principlcsof moral education and civil polity. Mr Firth also spoke upon tho paper, but did not altogether approve of its tendencies. After a tew remarks from the President, the proceedings were brought to a close.

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day. SHORTLY before one o'clock this morning Thomas Millet arrived in Grahnmstown from Tararu aud informed Constable McManus, who was on duty, that a man hud been drowned at Tararu, near the old wharf. From our informants statement it appears that his attention was attracted to wards some cows grazing on the Hat, because he observed a man standing close by them. Thinking tho man meant to do the animals sonic mischief Miller pro ceeded to tho spot where he was standing, but before he reached him the man ran away, Millet gave cbaso aud succeeded in getting within twenty yards of the fugitive when he turned round und threatened to stab him if he came nearer having apparently n knife in his hand. Mr (iodkin, hotel-keeper, then appeared and I gave chase. After a long run Uodkiu threatened to shoot the man if he did'ntstop, but the latter took no notice of the threat and rau headlong into the tide. A boat was got out in the hope of effecting a rescue, but after an hour's search the party returned and Millet came into town as before stated to inform the police. None of the party could recognise the man, who at the time appeared perfectly sober, but from his looks and words they considered him to have been insane. The case was reported to the police to make enquiries. FATAL ACCIDENT AT BAGNALL'S MILL.

The New Mayor.

Mr J. M. Clark was the only gentleman nominated to-day for the Mayoralty, and ho has, therefore, been declared duly elected. This result will Rive general satisfaction, for the absence of any opposition is due solely to the popularity of the Mayor-elect, and not to any lack of aspirants for tho chief civic dignity. Mr Clark will wear his new honours with becoming grace, and wo bavo no doubt that he will worthily and punctiliously discharge the oneroiiH duties which will now devolve upon him. This menus a further sacrifice of his time, which previously has beou pretty well engrossed by tbe requirements of his morning offices, lie is fi member of the Jsoard of Governors of tho Grammar School, Chairman of the Kducatiou Board, a leading member of the Chamber of Commerce, and he has also served with distinction upon the Harbour Board. For many years past ho has been known as one of our most enterprising public men, and it is but meet therefore that his ability and usefulness should receive honourable recognition. Ho will certainly sustain the credit of the city as its representative. The present Mayor's term of ollicc does not expire till the 15th proximo, so that Mr Clark will not, enter upon his new duties for some time yet. ______________

The Gold Bobbery From s.s. Tararua.

Tub gold robbery from the Tararua, re ported in our Australian telegrams yester day, is, ill all probability, the outcome of a carefully-devised plot. Telegrams bavo been sont to the Superintendents of polico throughout the colony to bo on the alert. Mr Superintendent Thomson, in charge of the Auckland District, lias been ollicially informed of the robbery. The box stolen contained iivo bare of gold, weighing 1,2500z5. 7dwts. 12i;rs. The gold was duly delivered by the Bank of New Zealand to the purser of the stoamer at Port Chalmers at .'t.3o p.m. on the stli inst., and the vessel left in an hour afterwards The loss was only discovered on tho arrival in Victoria. The bars weighed from 1720z9, to about 2830za. each, branded li.N.'/,. The Union Company nre in communica tion with tho Victorian police.

Our own correspondent telegraphs from Duucditi as follows :—

TIIE MIbSINOGOLD.

It has been conclusively proved that the gold was shipped on board the s.s. Tararua. Nothing further, however, is known. There are no «ii^ns of tampering with the bullion room. The detectives aro confident of dis covering the robber. With reference to tho robbery of gold from the s.s. Tararua, it appears on exam ination that the assumption of Router's representative in Melbourne, that the box may have been left behind at Dunedin, \h incorrect. The box was transhipped from tho s.h. Jlawea to tho s.s. Tararua in the ordinary course.

DUNEDIN, this day. HOW THE GOLD WAS PUT ON

BOARD.

He the gold robbery on board tho Tararua the purser of the vessel and two ofliciuls of tho Bank of New Zealand witnessed its lodgment in the office on board tho Tararua. The Kold consisted of live ingots, each weighing nearly 250 ozs. AH concerned in the loss are anxiously awaiting the arrival of further particulars. Tho gold was shipped by tho Bank of New Zealaud in Dunedin. " Tho fact that the gold is in bara of large size should limke the disposal of it difficult, unless iudeed the robbers prove to be professional thieves.

HARBOUR BOARD.

The fortnightly meeting of tho Harbour Board was held this afternoon.

The Governor's Keckption. — The Town Clerk wrote soliciting the co-opera, tion of tho Board in the proposed reception of His Excellency tho Governor.—lt was agreed that the members of the Board should receive the Vicc-rcgal party at the landing • place, und conduct them to tho platform, where the city authorities will bo in wniting, — The Chairman, Mr Masefield, and the Secretary wore appointed a Sub-Committee to carry out tho necessary details, power being given tbcm also to incur the necessary cx-

pense. A. Dangkrous Place.—The Town Clerk of Parnell wrote at the direction of the Council pointing out the dangerous state of the clill" nt Selwyn Terrace, and recom mending that it should he fenced as several Berious accidents) had occurred thero recently. —Kcfered to the Works Com mittee, the engineer to report upon the matter.

The DREDGE.—The Chairman said that there was a probability of an ofler for the dredge being made by the New Ply mouth Harbour Board. No definite pro position, however, had yet been received. Works Committee.—The report ot this Committee recommended :—(1) That the Engineer of the Board and the City Surveyor confer together, and submit a schemo showing the best method of conducting the drainage through Kree man's Bay. (2) That tho Chief Harbour Master be instructed to direct the Engineer for tho dock to repair the engines and machinery of the dredge so far as the appliances at his dis posal will admit, and that a specification of all other repairs requisite to place the dredge in efficient working order, and that tenders be called tor such repairs.—The report was adopted.

Public Baths. —It was resolved on the motion of Mr \Vaddel, " That the general Government be informed that the Harbour Board cannot conveniently execute the work of constructing baths on the fore shore of Hardinge-street, and as such baths are required for the use, benefit, and con venience of the public of Auckland, the City Council bo authorised to proceed with the work under the provisions of section 152 of the "Harbour's Act, 1878,"

TnE Sand Kidge.—The engineer re ported that the alleged sand ridge was no ridge at all, but merely a sand rift. The question of dredging it was deferred. This was all the business.

MICK AN' PAT ON 'STRONOMY.

PAT: I say, Mick, Mr Procthor th' 'stronomer, is comin'. Mick: Is that th' man with th' comit ? Begorra, he'll give it to thim hot in Sydney whin it comes. Thay thrated him badly. Thay wouldn't let him praich on Sundays' about th' shtars, I bleeve. Pat: Oh its thrue enough, but Sir Hinry Parkes might'nt have been so particklor, for he gives the publicans lave to praich for an hour or two ivery Sunday on th' power of thare " glasses " an' th beauties of thare " three shtar "—of coorse thats' a dillrint "system," an pays. Mick: " Bcgorra you're right, Pat, public houses are ccnthres of systims, round which1 many a poor " body " revolves, an' not always perpandickler to th' plane of thare orbit." Mick : Well, some bodies have payryids an' some have short, but they nivir get out of th' "sun's" 'traction, but are shure to take a "turn round" ac;in some time or another-maybe Mr Procthor would turn down his teleshcopo an' revail, by-an'-by, th' wondhers of that systim.

Pat: Well betells ua mighty quare yarns any way. He sez thatsupposin' a child had an arm 92 millyuns of miles long, an' put his finger in th sun, he'd be 130 years ould afore he'd feel he was burnt. I wondher, does he make any allowance for th' arm growm' longer as th' child grows oulder? Mick : I don't know, Pat, but I know he'd be a dangerous child to tackle with th' gloves—it would be aisy "gettin'in" on him. Maybe, afther all, Mr Procthor is only a child himself, layin' his hands upon something a lone; way oil that it may take him all his life-time to "feel" that he only knows very little about—'speci ally as I hear he says thare's no Bareafter." Pat: Oh, he'll find th' hareafter whin he pets a more powerful telescope, Mick.
