VICTORIA. WON BY VICTORIA. TBy TiiksaArH.I (raoM oua own corbrsfondrnt.) "MELBOURNE, SUNDAY. The Victorian oarsmen scored their sixth victory in the Intercolonial eight-oared contest on Saturday, and although they travelled the course in practice in 1 miuute 40 second, quicker then was done during the race, the win was by eight lengths. The reasons for this result will appear later.

For the first timo in Victoria the race was rowed on what may be regarded as a fairly straight course, one upon which crews had absolutely equal chances, upon which steamers could follow, so that passengers could obtain a good viow of the pulling, and npon which spectators on shore bud great advantages. It ex tended from a point about a quarter of a mile below the mouth of tho Saltwater Kivor, (oat the Sugar-works nnd Yarra junction, up to Footscrey. Thoro is ample width, good shelter, and only a very few unimportant turns. It is so absolutely suporior to the old track up the Yarra to the Gasworks that rowing men now wonder why it waa not used before. It will certainly be used again, snd then it will be a pity if in such a wide oxpanss only two eights take part.

There is room for tho represontstive. from all the colonics. The crews were as follows New South Wales. Stroke, C. A.

Oritth wishes to leave Sydnoy on hit return to Bris-MM to-morrow, and it is the oresent intention of Mr. Oulisi, we bolieve, to leavo for Molbourno on WoJnos- strong lead. Ihil he increased at the Sugarworks, where there were 6000 spectators on the Footsore banks, with the race so well in hand there was no roots for doubt as to the result, and when thoy passed the winning post tho Sydney men were eight lengths away.

The vietoti was proclaimed by loud cheering. The oarsmen of both boats were escorted to their quarters by large crowds, and the steamers returned to town. THE RACE. Leaving the Queen's Wharf a few minutes after 8 o'clock, the Sprightly, placed gratuitously by Mr. Bruce Smith al the service of the association, with the starter, Mr.

W. W. Senior, nnd the umpire, Mr. Csrlile; Mr. H.

G. Turner, the president and Mr. Williams, secretary of the Rowing Association and Messrs. A. R.

Blackwood and Aitkon, ol the firm of Dilgety, Blackwood, and Mr. F. Walsh, Mr. Trimble (New South Wales emergency), and a few others, on board, reached the junction of the Salt Water River in about half-an-hour, and haying called at Footacray to enable tho umpire to see tho exact position of the winning post, proceeded down stream, preceded by the Pharos, heavily burdened with passengers, and the Pilot, with the crews on board. The New South Wales men were distinguishable by their light-blue caps and jerseys, after the Cambridge and the Victorians by the dark-blue of Oxford.

Arrived at the Williamstovra steam ferry, half a mile above the starting point, the Pharos and the Pilot were moored alongside tho jetty, and the crew! proceeded to throw off their coats snd wraps, and take their seats in tho boats, which had been towed down forthem. The Victorians were the first prepared, and took a short preliminary spin at 33 to opon their lungs. Some of the men appeared rather tine, a fact not to bo wondored at, conaidering that every man in the boat had been in continuous training since January last. As thov started, their splendid rowing created a most favoumblo impression, and the spectators Eive them throe hearty cheers. New South Wales were not ng in embarking, snd as far as appearance went they were a better trained and more healthy looking crew, and ss they rattled away amidst loud plaudits at 40, the general opinion passed round that were the Victorians a bit stale it would be all up with them.

As the crews made their way to tho post the day was everything that could be desired for a boat race a light cool wind that prevailed from tho south-west, insufficient to raise even a ripple, and the tide running in at half-flood, were all in favour of fast time being made. After settling thomselves comfortably the two crews mado straight for tho stake. The boats which were moored in a lino with the white light, a short distanoe below the former sits of the Greenwich Pior, then turned round and were backing into position, when thov wore obliged to steer off. ss the steamer Dingadeb came up the rivor, followed by tho tug Resolute with a large ship in tow. The steamers slackened peed upon being requested to do so.

Having passed up the stream, the crews again went to their places. After a brief delay to allow the wash of the vessols to subside, Mr. Senior gave the word to go, and 16 oars struck the water together, and tho tussle began in real earnest, New South Wales putting in 46 and the Victorians 44 to get first lead. Both coxswains, evidently excited, did a bit of emtio steering, and brought the oars so close as to narrowly escape a foul, which waa fortunately averted, and the dlngdong rate of striking waa kept up. In spite of the faster stroke of their opponents, the Victorians were the first to show in front, and in about 1J0 yards had a perceptible lead, and Rearing tho steam ferry had gained half a length.

As this flood is likely to bo an historical one, it is well that our scientific fciowlodge respocling it should be ns accurate as jiossible. I therefore teel constrained to challenge tha accuracy of the statement referred to. In my own inoleorologieal publication I have Riven 627 feet as the approximate height of that flood above the mean tidal level from my own observations at the time, approximate b.cauo the datum itself was then subject to a little uncertainty.

Tho value, 62 7 toot, is thnt mado use of by tho Government Astronomer in his admirable work on the climate of New South Wale. This would givo about 61 feet ns the height above high water mark. It is not at all likely thnt tho difference in the level of tho Hood at maximum would lie considerable over such a circumscribed arenas that of tho town of Windsor.

it A uisTiiKssiso accident occurred on the tram line in Phillip-street on Saturday night, by whicb a young bank clerk named William James Passmoro mot his death. The deceased, in company with his brother-in-law, lterbort Cyrus Doyle, was returning homo from an evening's amusiiment at the Exhibition Building, Prince Alfred Park, when, in tho act of alighting from a tramcnr, he was precipitated to the ground, lie fell beneath one of the cars, and was severely injured about tho head. When removed from beneath tho oar the doceascd was taken to Dr. Eichler's surgery in Bridge-street, but on arriving there life was found to be exlinet Tho deceased was greatly respected among a largo circle of fricndi. For nearly three years Jio had been employed at the Pitt-street branch of the Union Dank of Australia.

Ho was the eldest son of Mr. William it T. Passmoro, residing at No. 457, Dowling-strcet, Moore Park. An in most will be hold on the boJy this morning.

Tits omnibus driver, Jamos Dunn, who on Thursday afternoon fell from his vehiclo at the timo that it collided with a tram motor, is still a patient in the Sydnoy Intlrmary, although his condition has considerably improved since hs wss sdmittel. Mr. 11. Hamilton, who was a passenger on the omnibus at tho time of collision, and who also was removed to the Infirmary, had sufficiently recovored from tho elTects of his injuries to be able to leave the institution on Saturday afternoon. The raui named John llogan, who was taken to the Sydney Infirmary last Tuesday evening sufloring from two bullet wounds In his head, is rapidly regaining strength.

It will bo romeinborod that the patient was found lying in ilelmoro Park with a revolver tightly In his right hand At 8 o'olock last evening a small flro ocourrcd on (ho premises of Messrs.

Some ot the liquid came in contact with a gas jet and fmm this circumstance ths lira originated. The flames were extinguished by a small quantity of strong solution of ammonia, which was poured upon them.

Many of th articles in the window wore destroyed, but no further damage was done.
