He had done well in Ameriea, and was a better min than Gaudaur- at the time, so he came uninvited suddenly to Sydney in 1890.. Kemp was then champion, and the claimant wanted to vow him, but by a ruse be was induced to tackle the saved up Stanbury, not for the championship, oat for £1000 stakes. O'Connor was benten twice for the same stakes, he having protested against: them passing ta Stanbury after the first ree owing to a foul claimed, Wut not allowed, O'Connor did not stay long, and did not row Kemp, hut | John MTenn did, and beat-him in the same year, Stanbury was then brought forward, and in 1841 he twice defeated M‘Lean. for the title, Tom Sullivan, from Now Zealand, had done remark- ably well, and finished up by rowing Stanbury for the title, Tt wis sirly close race, but the title did not pass. Stanbiry was left alone for nearly four: years; then he was challenged by C. R. Harding to row on the Thames for the title and £3000 stakes, It was . 20 years since an English seuller had chaltengéd an Australian for the cham- | pionship, and it was left ton small man todo it. Harding was but S$ stone weight and,dft. 53in. in height. Stan- bary was-over 12 stone in weight, and over -6ft. in height. rowed: very well indeed, but had no ; chance, soonce more the. title was held by Australia, Meanwhile Gnudaur had come to the front again in Aimerica, | and. accepted on offer t to row Stanbury on the Thames for £500 stakes and the titles held hy the ‘Australian. They met on ‘September’ 7, 1896; Gaudaur had not only more pace, : *out more stamina, and he ‘won by ‘a distance, Stanbury was not well trained, but on his return home he said he was eatistied to leave the Canadian alone for the future. The result of the race caused great surprise, but there is no doubt the better man won.
