The sculling race between Snlliyan (the New Zealander), and Bubear (ex-cham. pion of England), took place on the Ne lpean river on Saturday afternoon. The betting was 5 to 2 on Sullivan.

He continued to increase his advantage, and-when passing Dubbs' was quite four lengths to the good. Here Bubear began to lessen the gap, and when about 80 yards from the winning post was only two lengths away. He then put on a tremendoufc spurt and got within six feet of Sullivan, but rowed himself to a standstill, and Sullivan rowed home an ' easy winner. Both men pulled in splendid style. - .
