According to tho Sydney ■"Referee,". Velton led ih tho early stages of the lat-

est race for the Australian sculling cham-1 . pionship, but Paddon was always tr'oubl-: 1 ing tho champion. .NearinrPutney Point. (11 miles) Paddon was "still constant, and coming liard. The Point was soon abeam, but Felton, showing signs, of , distress, still led by half a length. Time, flmln, Bscc. . Paddon, too, was • tired, but- keeping ! bravely to his task, ho called up all his i mighty strength, as only . few can do, i with thb result that'soon he was 'level,' : and then hnd a lead ,of. half a length.: i Not satisfied, he pressed harder and i harder, and gained almost clear water; ■ ,-but Felton was not yet beaten. He made, one more great effort, which held Paddon '. mbraihlarily, but'after his,last sprint: • Paddon went away, and shortly after: p passing Bottlo Point ho had the race well] in hand, with an,established lead ,of: : three length's. ■ Felton, iyas a beaten man, he had game- ,' ly/giVen'of his best. He had rowed him-' self to a, standstill, and was palpably badly'distressed. Still Paddon could not ■ get more than' fonr lengths away at TennySbh (two miles). But Paddoti's time ■ vras coming. Felton's collapse .was complete, and in another couple "of hundred yards the new champion had eight lengths. "Felton was .comple'tely beaten, ': and from here to' the finish, the race was l 'devoid of incident. "When Paddon was ■ nt.Gladesville(2J mile's), Felton was only; half way across from Cabarita, some SO i lengths.astern". : ■■ \•- ■ , . ''• ' Midway on the stretch' to Abbotsford Felton faltered and stopped for' half a stroke, and again he faltered at the baths,' ; while .Paddon went 'serenely 'on 'his way. ' 'Paddtin'was clocked to win by over two ; ; minutes. -Time, 21niin. 12sec. ' ■ The times for the course.were:—Mile, , ■smin.,sosec.j Putney, 9mih.
