YfITOBY OF GAUDAUE,

(REUTETvS TELEGRAM.)

New York, May 30. The sculling match between Gaudaur H , lllan for the championship of LricUas rowed to-day, and re- Hed m the former winning by four Lhs. Time, 19rain 30sec. j special cable message says that Ga udaur won the race^by three lengths. '.-■■ l Gaudaur, of St. Louis, Mo., was fe&S sculler of the Mississippi Sley o"S-l years, and he now by his WL over Edward Harilan, " the re flS Cauaclian," assumes tho title of ■"fmnio'i of America/ To gam the §£ enviable title of '-champion f 5, 0 'world" he will have to Vfc"William Beach, the Australian. & failed to do in their first and only •inf skill iv September last, when Gaii- I i defeated % the Thames by three t l r Gaudaur is undoubtedly Amer iystoa.rsman,ancllieis justly entitled to ilthe placeof honournext to Beach, whilst £an can" at best lay claim to third place. fcneU sculling match of importance is to Solace between Haivlan and Teenier in Snext- Teenier, it may be remembered, U part in the sculling sweepstakes in f^nrl in August last, and was on that SeasiW defeated by Beach. On No mber °6th next Beach and Hanlon are to struggle for the Championship 7&<s World on the Nepean. Beach has L/v beaten Hanlan, once on August 1(5, Sf and again on ilarch 27,1883. After & defeat by Gaudaur his chance of rictory in tne corain S evenfc wiU bo Lsidered very small, and will certainly .iattract the interest that would arise in "Inevent of another trial of skill between tea and Gaudaur, the latter, as Beach admits, being the greatest oarsman he has ever met.
