SCULLING.
London, Sept. 13. The sculling race between Matterson and Bubear has been arranged to take place over the championship course on the Thames on October 14. Searle expresses his willingness to meet Gaudaur on the Thames within a month for £1000 a side, or he will row Gaudaur when he chooses on the Paramatta, N.S.W., for any sum from £1000 to £5000 a side. Searle has positively declined to row in America. The editor of the Sportsman has handed over the stakes to Searle. Searle says he will row O'Connor a second match on the Thames within a month for £500 or £1000, or will meet him next season on the Paramatta for £1500 a side. Wellington, to-day.

Hearn for £200 aside and the sculling championship of New Zealand, the race to take place on any fair course agreed upon. Hearn holds the New Zealand championship.
