WATERLOO-BRIDGE REGATTA.

The sixth annual contest for a purse of sovereign.; and
other prizes, given by the inhabitants of St. John's, Lam-
beth, took place yesterday, and was in every way worthy
of Oe encouragement bestowed on it. The competitors
were six free watermen, plying at the Surrey side of
Waterloo Bridge ; and the conditions of the wager were
three heats, the first heat consisting of three boats, and the
second a like number, and the two first of each of these
being entitled to row in the third and grand heat. The
weather was very fine, and there was a good sprinkling of
boats out with company to witness the match. At half-
past three the following were placed for the first heat :
Jacob Hamblin, pink; William Easton, white; and Charles
Collier, green. The distance in this arid in the second
heat was to start from Waterloo Bridge, up round Mauds•
lay's roads, down round Cory's roads, off the Old Barge
House, up again to Maudslay's, and down to Waterloo Bridge
to finish. Pink and white went off together, and maintained
the two leading stations, coming in as winners of the heat.
Immediately after William Creed, yellow ; Robert Bar-
row, jun., blue ; and William Rayden, stripe, came to
their places for the second heat. This was well rowed and
was won by yellow and blue. The men took some refresh-
ment, and at six o'clock the boats began to row towards
the starting place. The distance in this heat differed from
the foregoing ones, and was from Waterloo Bridge, down
round Dickens's roads, up round Maudslay's roads, arid
down to Waterloo Bridge. Pink, white, yellow, and blue
as the winners of the preceding heats, came to the bridge
for the final struggle. They all went away together, and
after a few strokes yellow and blue were scull and scull in
advance of the others, and gaining in each succeeding
stroke. In rounding the first distance these two fouled,
and pink went by them in gallant style ; he maintained the
advantage, and won by a few lengths. Blue was second,
yellow third.
