THE HANLAN-BEACH SCULLING MATCH.-BEACH VICTORIOUS.

(Received August 17, 10.30 a.m.) SYDNEY. Saturday. The scullinsr race between Edward Hanlan, of Toronto, Canada, and William Beach, of Sydney, for £500 aside and the championship of the world, took place to-day over the regular course on the Parramatta river. The weather was magnificent, but the water was slightly rough. A splendid start was effected, and a dead level was maintained for the first quarter of a mile. Hanlan then forged ahead, and when a mile and a half had been covered was about a length in advance. Beach, however, responded, and rowed right down on Hanlan. The latter allowed his boat to cross, and a foul took place. Hanlan put up his hands and claimed a foul. Beach, however, kept pulling away. Hanlan followed, but Beach" came to the post an easy winner by five or six lengths. Time 20mins. 29sccs. The umpire disallowed tho foul claimed by Hanlan. (Received August IS, 1 p.m.) This day. An immense concourse of people witnessed the boat race on Saturday, no less than GS steamers being crowded with spectators. Great enthusiasm was displayed here over Beach's victory. It is thought certain that another match will be arranged. August IS, 1.20 p.m.) After tho race on Saturday a most cordial interview took place between Beach and Hanlan. The latter admitted that he was beaten, but said lie was paralysed by the close proximity of the steamer Tomki, which unfortunately bore down too close to his boat.
