The approaching Doncaster Races are under the auspices
of the Marquis of Westminster and the Earl of Lichfield, the
stewards for the present year. The ground is in the best pos-
sible condition, and no disadvantages will present themselrol
in that respect. Indeed, in the decision of the respective
prizes, the fleetest and most lasting horses must win, as they
will not have to encounter either too hard or too soft a course.
Besides the excellence of the ground, the numerous stands and
refreshment booths have been much improved. The roads are
in capital order.

AQUATICS.
Towne. REBATTA.—The nineteenth annual regatta for a
new wherry, and other prizes, took place yesterday. Below-
bridge matches are invariably hardly contested, and the amount
of subscription is generally greater than that raised for con-
tests above-bridge. The donors on this occasion were the ofi-
cers resident in the Tower, and the inhabitants in its vicinity,
and the wager vas confined exclusively to six free watermen
belonging to the 'Power-stairs, to row a sculler's wager. The
assemblage was immense ; the craft was literally covered, as
were the barges which had been moored off for the accomnr:
dation of the subscribers. The match was in five heats, W. 1%!
six-pairs of sculls ; and in consequence of some fouling wit!"
occurred last season, it was ordered that, should any fouling
take place by either the wagermen or their cutters, the heat
should be considered a false one, and be started again, and that
if it should a second time occur, that they should be thrown out
of the wager. The following were the names and colours
.of
the competitors :—Henry Crouch, dark blue ; John Murgit-
royd, green ; Robert Ellem, red ; Job Johnson, yellow ; Au-
gustus Vans, light blue ; John Elliss, pink. The first heat
started at twelve o'clock, and that, and the three following,'
occupied until five o'clock. At a quarter to seven, pink and
yellow started for the grand heat, the distance being to start
from buoys off the Tower, row twice round the eel chain, and
round the lower beacon facing St. Katharine's Dock, and
The
to the Tower to finish ; to go twice round each heat. Th,.e
start was very excellent ; they were scull and scull, but pins'
drew a length a-head, and rounded the first boat in advance'
yellow then lay down to it. and rowed up to his bin thwart, and
directly afterwards passed him, and won by a few lengths.
