The Championship of the Tyne. A great treat is in Btore to-morrow Tor the lovers of aquatics. The coaly Tyne will be in a slato of great excitement, for Bobert Chambers (ot NawcaBtle-on-Tyne). Champion of the Thames and Tyne, and Eobert Cooper (of NewcaaUe-on-Tjue) are going to row for the Championship of the Woe and 100, the eouree being from the High-level Bridge to the Sootswold Suspension Bridge, a distance of about three miles and a halt The match creates more than ordinary escitement as Cooper has oeaten Chambers at two miles, and tha Tyne Champion Cup race of 1883 -will not be forgotten for a long time. Cooper then boat Chambers, but fouling having occurred they were ordered to row ngain-ho, Chambers, ana Henry Keliey, es-Cbampion of the Thames and Champion of the Ynro.

Kelloy ond Chambers rowed again, and Chambers winning, he was given tae Cun (value 50) aud 30 stakes. Cooper then commenced a law suit tor tho recovery ot the Cup, and the cose having been referred for arbitration to Mr Thomas Hughes, author of Tom Brown's School Days," his decision wob that Cooper had won the Cup fairly, and was not, therefore, bound to row again when ordered by the Committee, as the umpirB whom they hart deputed to act for them had decided, on the Hrat oeeosion.thot CoopeK vras tho winner and that he had oven eaused his colours to be hoisted on the Osg staff. This brought about tho present match. Both the men are well-known to the aquatic world. Chambers's career has been a very wonderhil one.

He rowed, besides other matohes, Henry Kelloy for the Championship the Thames, and beat him; he was then ohallonged by Tom White, of Bermondsey, and both rowed him for tho Championship of the Thames and Tyne, beating him on both rivers; he then rowed George William Evorson, of Greenwich, having been challenged by him, and that race also will bo well remembered, Everson holding him well to tha Point, and being afterwards easily beaten. His next opponent was tho celebrated Australian Champion, Eichard Augustus WillonghDy Orecn, In 1883 they roted, ond Green, leading by two leiigtBo at the Soap Works, woe Bhnt ap, ond easily beaten. Chambers has also roived at Talkin Tarn, Chester, Derby, and Manchester ond Salford, and at the Thames Notional Regatta, vith great success, both ob an oarsman and a sculler. Cooper has never figured as an oarsman, but as a sculler be has attained great fame. He defeated Everson and others at the Thames National Begatto, 1862; Kelly and Chambers at tho Tyne Regatta, 1883 and besides baB rowed at the regattas above-mentioned.

His ago is twenty-sis, and ho is three years Chambers's junior, but his friends are this time very sanguine, and taking all the 5 to 4 they can get about Chambers winning. A fine race is expected, and a journey to the Worth will not bo to no purpose. ChamberB is Baid to be not very fit, and aeconnts from Cooper's training quarters give the best reports of his progress. Tom Kino nr A New Chabaoieb. Our readors will no doubt be surprisod to learn that this celebrated boxer is about to appear in new charocter, having made a mateh to row scullers' snce against Edward May (of Lambeth) for 25 a side, the distance being from Pntney to Baraes-bridge.

Tho race comes off on Tuesday the 1st of November, One Leg v. One Arm. The Pensioners of Greenwich Hospital played their annual mateh on the Oval on Wednesday and Thursday last. Eain made the firBt day unpleasant for the match, but fine weather on Thursday made the oriokot fun enjoyable, and upwards of 2,000 visitors attended. The tavern landlord Mr Hill, had invited the attendance of the children of that excellent establishment, The Licensed Viutuallere' School," and it was a pleasing sight to witness the happy, healthy, intelligent-looking, and neatly-olothed little lads and laSBesheBflod by their drum and fife band, march on to the ground, where Mr Hill had provided ten and other refreshment for them, with battledores, Bhutfleoocks, and skipping-ropeB for tho losses, and bats, balls, and stumps for the boys.

The ohildren appeared to enjoy themselves to the top of their bsnt. Mr Harris, Governor of the Incorporated Society of Licensed Victuallers, waa there, marshalling the boys and watching over the girls with much solicitude for their happiness and pleasure. The Tweuty-two Pensioners were well oared for by Mr Hill, a good dinner each day being one of the landlord's cores for the Pensioners comforts. While they were at dinner on Thursday Mr Harris marshalled the youthful band in a ring in front of the room in which the tarB were dining, and "Give tbem some musio, lada," said Mr Horns, and some musio mas given them "con nmore," and something else was given, to wit, hearty applause to the young fife blowers and drum beaters, and 0 shower of coin to mark the visitors' appreciation of their musloal performance. That dog will be the death of us, we moan that young, ugly little cur that always attends this pensioners match, that persists in gambolling after the ball, that will be sociable with the limb the less players, that Kill get in their way, and that won't get out of their way until fairly hooted out, aud then, tail between legs, vanishes until the next pensioners' match, when out ho comes, bigger, uglier, but as frolicsome as ever.

This oricket dog is a true son of "Dreadem, tho celebrated Derby Day dog. The oricket was, in crioket vernacular, a rum un," Such bowling, hitting, and fielding never was, nor never will be seen out of this match. As to the bowling, at one time the ball would bo tossed high as houses in the air, and ot another a regular "daisy cutter" would disagreeably knock against the batsman's door aoou would one ba trundled something in a shooter (shot the wrong way) style, and then would one be sent in at so slow 0 pace that the striker hit three times at it, all too soon. The hitting was what 0 certain reporter on tho gome would call "a masterpiece," some would hit with their wooden leg, others sloped the ball away, some didn't hit at all, one made a 10 hit (tho ball woe overthrown lour times), Two mode hits for 7 each, one made 10 runs in his two first hits, So(a)ny was boiled out by Kent for a pair of thorn, but Holden, Woolston, and Stone played crioket. Eut the fielding of tho Ono Leg men was the cream of the oricket." One broke his wooden peg in two and retired until he had an impromptu one made from a broomstick.

Another, in fielding 0 long hit, tumbled among a group of crinoline. Others tumbled against each other, and at ono time three tumbled down all of a heap." It certainly was the funny" mateh of the Oval season, and wo were informed that in 1866 the Greenwich pensioners would play their mateh on no other ground but the Oval. This match was phyed up to time" ou Thursday evening, when the stumps were drawn. The One Arm men had one wicket to go down, nnd required 8 runs only to win. A smart match, but wo almost forgot to state that, the umpires wore a smart pair, run outs they didn't see the fun of," and nothing short of a smashing bowl out" seemed to Batisfy them.

The weather was splendid on Monday butl rather queer for ciieket the after part of Tuesday, bat Mhnni'h the Indies' tent" was numerously and beautilully patronised on the Monday, the sreund was ua: well attended on either day. Midd o- ost the aid ot Mr V. B. Walker, his substitute being Mantle, the Westminster prnfecsionol but Hants suffered a material Iobs tho absenee of Mr Motuiiu and Capt. Walton, the want ot the former's Bne fielding, and the Bailout captain's good bowling, being much felt during the match by the countrymen.

The ground was in capital order, and the wickets as good as those ou any other ground Tbcy did not begin play 01 Monday until five minutes to one, and they loft off play at a quarter to sin, on ao blight, Unlit, and clear an evening as any we have had this season. This disgraceful waste ol time in August justly called forth tho Sanation of the- visitors, and we can tell managers of matches that these delays in oomtnencing play are having a very bad effect on the gome was chiefly noticeable for the very fine display of hi tine by Mr Bayford and Mr It. D. Walker, and the very bad holding of Hampohire. Worse fiehliug we never saw 111 a county match mid hcoe nevCTto witness again.

Men badly placed, overthrows, wicket beeper at Times yards away from the wicket, and extras given to the tone of 48. The MTddl hS was opened by Mr Tritton and Mr T. Cose (bo of the oSc University Eleven), and the first hit in the match was made into a 6 by an overthrow for 3-a bad beginning this for Hants. The 1 score was up to 30 Xn the first wicket fell by Holmes bowling Mr Tritton for i2. Mr Bav ford then went to the wickets, and gave us a fine batting treat.

Ho eoon knocked off Mr E. L. Ede's slows at one end, and Holmes at the fact Mr Bayford and Mr Case were batting finely, and had ouVht core to si when Mr Erore slick bowled Mr Case for 64 Thomas Heornc was nest man in and out, us (very nearly a home-pitched oneTrum Mr Fre iok bowled T. II. for a single the score at 88.

and their bowling completely mustered, and it was Tauatter to five when the two batsmen were parted by a lino ball from Mr Frederick bowling Mr Bayford for 92, splendid cricket all of it, made 1 twelve nine Mr Bayford left with the score at MB so ha had seen 209 runs out ou whilst he waa at the wickets, 92 of which were from his owu bat. Pooley made three 3's, and was then bawled bv Mr Frederick, tho score ut253 for eix wickets and shortly after Mr D. Walker lilted" one (the first he had hit up), and he was easily caught out by the wioket keepes for 54. made by a drive for 5, four 4 His brother Mr D. Walker, waa cleverly stumped by Mr Ercro with the score at 291 for eight wiokets.

Goorgo Hearne made 13, including three fin leg hits to the entrance gate for 3 each wi.eu he was ran out, and Mantle hitting one up waa easily caught out by Holmes at mid oO. both wiokets going with the score at 298, the innings thus finishing ot a quarter to ana notwithstanding the light was as bright and as clear as at noon day, the stumps were thus early pu led up, and ay ceased for the dav The sis Hampshire borders in this innings were Holmes, Mr L. Ede' Mr Frederick. Mr Case, Mr H. Frere, and William Humphrey.

The Blows of Mr E. L. Ede caught cayenne, as from 02 ba Is bowled by him 67 runs were made. Ho certainly obtained a brace of wiokets, but then look to threo o'clock when athorough ohango.took nlace in the weather, wind blowing and rain falling during the remainder of the afternoon. ThBy commenced play at the proper tinie-a quarter-Lt oleven-andthe day woe solely occupied playing the two mmnge of Hants, which together amounted to the eioct number of runs scored in Midd esex's first innings.

Numerically the two innings were of 0 air overage, and most of the hitting was of good quality, as the runs were made from good bowling and against very fane fielding, foot, one glance a "the extras" will eloquently tell how vastly superior the Hiddloses fieloing was to tbat of Hampshire, Iwoellently well did Messrs rasa and Gamier bat in their seoond innings, Mr Case making a fine out for 6 from T. Hearuo's bowling. Good oricket was shown bv Mr Luoa in souring his brace of U's. Mr G. H.

Ede, in scoring Ms 22, played well and steadily-he was well in when he was run out St Mr Fredericks. Holmes began queerly, and wob queerly missed by Mr Bayford at long leg. but finished up hie 23 in good form The colt UbsdeU 11 very likely play better next time. The 20 scored by Souther-ton was well goVaud ineludedabraoeof 4's, a3 Mr Freie'S23 was another display of good, steady cricket, delighting bis friends Sensel" until he was seduced by an underhand slow that tempted ni from home and ruined him. But, after a 1 said and done, for fine, hitting, commend to the 37 and 44 scored by Mr Frederick, It was the most brilliant-and, taking fnto con-sideratiou the supeiior fielding against him-the best bitting in the atch.

What a glorious sixer" was that ho hit to square leg from Thomas Hearne (who was fairly stuck up" surprise). The j.i i clean and hard, and sent flying over tho trees out 01 th a onnd he "so made five 4's that most of them brilliant ts to leg in fact his leg hitting was splendid, ho sit art ly stumped by Pooley Catlin bowled Mr O. M. Ede, and Holmes with two successive yuelivVred balls, and the innings was fiui-hed oddly. They had lost 9 wickets and scored 130 ranB, or lour short of saving the innings, when Pooley whipped oil the bail, pocketed the ball, anr I was running 00 when "How's that?" was naked of the umpire.

"iVrfo.it, said Thorns, and tho reason why was, Pooley had taken the nail before the wicket, which is dead against lawful cricket, so they had to go ou ago aid then "How's said Tom Hearn, when betook the ball in slip, but WwaTnotout either as the ball hit the ground first, and, an, id a roar of cheers and laughter, they bad to go at it once more, and a last brought it to 133. when Mr Frere ran in 0 brace of yards, to slog a slow, fin asinir it the stumping came off, leaving Middlesex one run to make win Hol mes I gave Them that in a wide." and thus, at a quarter-past six on Tuesday evening.

Great Match for 1,000. Intense oxcitemcut has been created in racing circles by a mateh having beon made between those well-known members of the Turf Captain Macbell and Mr Jackson to run 100 yards, for 500 a Bide, 260 Mr Jackson being allowed twenty yards' start. It is well known that Copt. Macbell possesses great speed, but whether he can allow his opponent so great on advantage over such a short diatnnoo remains to be proved. The event will bo deuided at Newmarket during the First October Meeting, ond there is every probability that a large amount of money will change hands over the race.

West London Grounds, Brompton. Pantiho (of Hoxioh) amd Byb (of Westmimstiib). These men (who ore both typos by profession) met at these grounds last Monday afternoon to run their quarter of 0 mile match for 6 a Bide, Panting being allowed ten yards' start, The friends of Bye were very sanguine that their roan would pull it off," and, consequently, he was mode tho favourite ot 6 to 4. Panting having been placed Mb allotted diatance in advance the signal was given, when they both got away at tbo same moment, Bye making after bis opponent at a clipping pace. When 300 yards of the diatance had been paced over Bye had oloaed up the gap, and they both ran well together until arriving within fifteen yards of the goal, when Panting, who had tho most wind" left in him, came away from his man and ran in the winner of on excellently-contested race by three yards.

Harry Andrews (ibe veteran pedestrian) was referee. Olympia Eunning Grounds, Bow. Habimx akd Gibbs. This was a race of 300 yards for iS a side, decided at these Grounds on Saturday afternoon last, there being very few persons present to witnees the match. Gibbs wbb tho favourite at long odds, and, as will bo aeon by our report, his backers were fully justified in laying a long price on their man, There were no less than five false starts, hut at the sixth attempt they both managed to get well off, Gibbs with tho advantage of three yards.

He continued to hold the lead throughout, and finally won by a couple of yarda. Hartley not having tho chance. Quabibb of A Miib Hakbicap.

This was a race of a quarferof a mile for 5 a side, tho celebrated II. Reed being referee. The start was made by mutual consent, Poole getting tho best of it by two yards, ond lie continued to hold the front position until 200 yards had been covered, when Hartley closed up the gap.
