The race for the Doggett Coat and Badge, competed for annually by young watermen of the Thames, took place on July 25, from London Bridge to Chelsea, and was won by Ted Phelps (the world's sculling champion), son of “Bossy” Phelps, a former winner of the race. The race was originally founded by Thomas Doggett, the comedian, who left a bequest of a purse of money and a coat and badge for the winner. The picture shows H. T. Phelps, the official starter, who himself won the race in 1919, wearing the picturesque Doggett Coat and Badge.
