Tux Rsoarrs. —Thursday, the 14th inst., was •
day that will be long remembered by the good
people of Charmouth. For did not the regatta take
place on that day ? Ave ! aye! to be sure it did,
and • right merry day it was. For what was there
wanting in the catalogue of delights? Are you fond
of the sea my friend? Well, there it is before you, a
noble expanse—the great West Bay from Portland
Bill to the Start. Look at that solendid coast-line
all up the Dorset shore. There is he mighty Golden
Cape, head and shoulders above his fellowe, towering
up a majestic height of 600 feet. And next are the
beautiful cliffs of Burton gleaming in the sunlight.
There is the Chesil Bank, like a bow of gold, en-
oil-riling the azure, and closing up the scene is Port-
land's rocky isle, rising loftily and tapering out to
the sharp Bill. A glorious sketch indeed. If you
like land views just turn about. There is the
pleasant vale of Whitchuroh, down which comes the
limpid Char, famous for trout and peal. Do you
like • little antiquarian lore' Well, just in front of
ne, and peeping out from the pretty wood which
crewne the hill is the ancient Manor-house of
Catherstone Leweaton, the ancestral home of
the Jeffreys, end doubtless the birth-plaoe of
the hero of the " Bloody Assize." According to
popular tradition the ghost of the old judge still
frequents the plso;e. His father and grandfather are
buried in the chancel of the church, at Whitchurch,
whose grey tower o'ertope the trees as you look up
the valley. In that Sea Lane down which we came
'King Charles IL passed the greater part of • very
anxious night, waiting for the boatswain from Lyme
to come and take him over sea. But the good wife's
fears for her husband's bead outran her loyalty, and
she detained him, so the Royal fugitive must wander
farther yet. In a house nearly at the bottom of the
village they whew you one of his many hiding places.
'Twas at Lyme, r whose Cobb looks so pretty from
hence, that the unfortunate Monmouth landed.
While on the very beach below us the Danes once
landed, near • thousand years ago, when the good
Alfred met and beat them so soundly. But we
need not stand while the sward
.0 soft beneath one
feet. How refreshing these gentle sea breezes.
Aye I and what magnificent weather. 'Tis, indeed
la pleasant spot, and admirably adapted for the pur-
l:male. We have the course just in front of us and
shall be able to 1430 everything. Bang! there goes
the signal gun, and there are the boats getting off.

A dunk hunt, prise El, in which Mr. Hunter, as
luck, led a four-oared boat a losing chase for 20 minutss,
booed the aquatic sports.

I, Meanwhile, a varied series of amusements had '
been.going forward to the infinite entertainment of
tha 'numerous spectators who had came to the
teigatta. A jingling match on the beach, jumping,
to wicks. catching with open months at the dangling ,
treacle rolls, donkey races, as wind, more famed for
laghter, than for speed; as Bloomfield says. Un•
snoosssful attempts to climb • greasy pole for a leg
of mutton, &c., afforded ample scope for the indulg-
r e*e of that source of pleasure, • hearty laugh.
While thSexcellent brass band of the Coly ton rifle
corps discoursed • pleasing imacession of enlivening
driblet° which during the eveniipg the lads and
lasses responded by tripping it merrily in the giddy
dance. Host Holly was close at hand to supply re-
freshments, and the youngsters duly paid court to
the royal shooting gallery, or the famous game of
