J. Phelps, of Fulham, and J. Royal, 114:1-
hank, blue, were the competitors. Hill and Everard in
this heat were the favourites, indeed they were looked to
even in the grand heat, and the majority of the money had
been laid out in that way ; and Phelps and Royal were
next Lest favourites, although the stamina of the latter
were doubted by those who had for any length of time paid
much attention to cock rowing matches.
The men all went off together at about half-past four,
and in an instant white took the lead. Their rowing as
oarsmen was good, and their continued lead wonderful in
the opinion of many good judges. They came in first w;th
apparent ease; blue was second.
At half-past five the following started for the second
heat :,E. Coombes, of Vauxhall, and Deal, of London
Bridge, green ; 11. Watts, of Waterloo Bridge, and Shel-
ton, Lambeth, yellow ; H. Piner, jun., Whitehall, and J.
Maynard, Lambeth, pink. In this th:t lead was disputed
by yellow and pink, but in a second or two green went by
both pairs, and, maintaining the lead, came in first. Yel-
low and pink made a sharp race, and the latter came in
second,

The distance in the grand heat was from Putney
Bridge up to a boat just below Hammersmith Bridge,
down to Surrey shore round a boat facing Avis's, tio
Bells Tavern, Putney, and up to Springate's boathouse.
The extraordinary rowing of white had made then;, the
principal favourites, but there were so many good mren that
persons were loth to overlook their opinion. After a few
strokes whit,:, Wok the lead, closely pressed by green, who
kept well up. White won by six lengths, green was se-
cond. A number of the police, V division, in plain
clothes, were on the towing path.
