Bells Life reported:
At the end of the week a match was rowed between Joseph Gallon of Newcastle and Andrew Danskin of Blaydon, the stake at issue being £40. Danskin, as stated in an earlier reporting, had previously met and defeated Robert Gallon, brother of the first-named, and the Newcastle party, not feeling satisfied on that occasion, sought consolation in this match, which turned out as they desired, with Joseph avenging his brother's defeat, proving himself to be a much superior man.
