Framed Print of Sculling-race on Monday last for the Championship of the World, ...above Hammersmith Bridge, 1881. Creator: Unknown
Sculling-race on Monday last for the Championship of the World, sketched above Hammersmith Bridge, 1881. The long-deferred race between Edward Hanlan, of Toronto, and Elias C. Laycock, of Sydney, N.S.W. over the Thames championship course, from Putney to Mortlake, was at length brought to an issue on Monday afternoon last, and resulted, as was fully anticipated, in the very easy victory of the former, who secured a good lead at the start, was never headed, and paddled in an easy victor by four lengths, which he could have made considerably more if he had so wished. The match...was for the Sportsman Challenge Cup, a stake of £1000, and the Championship of England, which, of course, on this occasion included the title of "Champion of the World."...The Canadian having been successful three times in succession, the Challenge Cup now becomes his own property, and he receives in addition a gold medal of the value of 25 guineas and the sum of £100. With regard to the race, Laycock rowed well and pluckily, but was evidently out-classed, and some time must elapse before we meet with a man who can lower Hanlan's colours whilst he is in his present form'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
