SCULLING.
PADDON V. GOODSELL. —• CHALLENGER CAPSIZES. (AUSTP.AI.UH and JT.Z. CABLE AS9DCIA«IOK.) (by cabIe—PEJSSS ASSOCIATION—COPTaIGHT) (Received September 21st, 5.5 p.m.)
SYDNEY, September 21. The sculling championship raco proved somewhat of a fiasco owing to a mishap to Goodsell. From an even start they raced neck and neck for two hundred yards, where Goodsell had a slight advantage, both doing fast time. He held the champion to the quarter-mile, where, digging his right scull deep and failing to recover, he capsized. By the time he got back into his boat Paddon had a long lead, and though he rowed a plucky stern chase he was in a hopeless position. Paddon did the mile in the record time of five minutes. He won by fifteen lengths in 17min 7sce. Goodsell explains that he thought he was getting into Paddon's water. In keeping clear he dipped too deeply and capsized. He has re-challenged Paddon, and the challenge has been accepted.
Besides putting up a mile record, Paddon '3 time for the full course of three miles is claimed to be a world's record. A strong wind behind assisted him.
