AQUATICS.
THE LowEsTorr REGATTA took place on Tuesday, under
the most promising auspices, whether as regarded the
value of the prizes, the quality of the sport, or the multi-
tudes who were attracted from far and near to witu ess the
matches. The regatta was under the patronage of the
Earl of Yarborough and other distinguished members of
the R. Y. C. • and the first and most interesting match
which was sailed was—
The REGATTA Pm,: of 100 tittineas, for yachts belonging
to a Royal Yacht Club, of all rigs, between 30 and 30 tons;
no restriction to mails or men, and no time allowed for

The Hew*, Mr. T. Bartlett, was entered, but at the last
moment was most unemwctedly withdrawn. Thu course
was from the pier, round the Cage Buoy, through the
Paketield list, and thence to a station.vessel about fifteen
miles at sea, returning to the shirting-place by the same
channel. The start took place shortly after noon, the May
Fly being the first to get. under way, but was speedily
passed by the Mosquito, the Gossamer having also succeeded
m taking the second place.
On the return the Mosquito continued to increase the
distance between her and her competitors, but the chapter
of accidents again gave the 'lemma place to the May Fly.
The arrival opposite the pier, on the conclusion of the race,

A variety of minor matches occupied the day. A prize
of thirty sovereigns for yawls attracted eight competitors,
and was won by the Edirne.% a Lowestoft boat. For yachts
over fifteen and net exceeding thirty tons a prize of the
same value was contested by four, and won by Mr. Lane's
Phantom. Twenty sovereigns, for yachts of less than
fifteen tons, were won by the Vampire, belonging to Mr. C.
Wheeler. There were also prizes of ten sovereigns for
latter!' boats ; a match for six-oared beach-gigs ; the MUM)
for sailing-punts ; and a prize for a duck hunt. The con-
'eluding part of the sports was very much marred by the
heavy, drenching showers of rain, which continued, with
the exception of short intervals of sunshine, for nearly two
hoists.
In the course of the evening there was a display of fire-
works on the esplanade.
A Scut.rEns' IIM for MK., between Williams and Ed-
ware, men belonging to the Custotn-house and Tower
'Wm, took place on Wednesday, and created a great deal
of interest and excitement amongst people east of London-
bridge. Betting was to to 4on Williams. The distance
was from Putney Is Mortlake, mid the Melt started at
seven in the evening very evenly, in which order they con-
tinued till Edwards took a slight lead, which he, however,
in the next half-mile, lost. After a very determined otce
Williams won by fitly or sixty yards.
