eight crews entered, viz,, four from Dieppe,
Havre, two from Brighton, and Bain's welt-knownone from
crew
of Lambeth.
The three first matches having been very well contested
preparations for the fourth were speedily made. The Eng-
lish residents in particular appeared very proud of the
ap-
pearance of the Lambeth crew, and testified their admira-
tion
by giving them several rounds of hearty cheers as they
went to their station. The distance to be rowed was from
off the Grand Pavibion to buoys moored off the pier-head,
head, thence to buoys moored about two miles further
down, making a rowing of nearly five miles. The
English crew did not experience much favour from Madame
Fortune, for in the draw they got N 0.5, which was without
exception one of the worst, if not the very worst, as before
any position at all could be obtained the Lam.
beth men Would have to row completely through their
more fortunate competitors. However, nothing daunted,
the Englishmen took their station, and waited the signal,
with the utmost coolness and determination.
No sooner was the flag lowered than the oars of all
the crews plunged into the water, and the eight boats got
off in capital style. The Lambeth crew took the lead,
maintained it throughout, and won the match in gallant
style by ten or twelve boat lengths. One of the Dieppe boats
was second. The names of the winning crew were—G.
Green, bow ; W. Bell, 2 ; J. Mackinney, 3; R. Bain, stroke ;
and J. Hill, cox.
ithout leaving their boats the crew were joined by E
Carter and A. Hopkins, and rowed directly to the sta-
tion to start for the six oared match, which was for a sum of
money and a gold medallion. The competitors for the match
soon got into position, and an even start was effected, but,
as in the former instance, the Lambeth crew took the lead
and won the race easily by about eight or nine lengths,
amidst the cheers of the English residents.
The prizes were presented to the winners by the Prefect
of Dieppe, at the Grand Pavilion, his Worship congratu-
lating the Englishmen on their easy victory.
The Lambeth crew put up at Harvey's Hotel, ;Quaff
Duquesne,
where they were welcomed in true English
style.
The boat they rowed in was built by Mr. E. Wyld, of
Lambeth.
We believe the same crew are about to compete for prizes

in Belgium and other parts of the continent.
The above is the same crew who carried off the prize of
the Emperor of the French at Boulogne, and, though Eng-
lishmen, they were congratulated by the foreigners on the
high condition they were brought to the post by Mr. Bain,
their trainer.

and everything that is likely to meet the official eye

the gun is mounted appears, however, to be of the
most immediate importance. The difficulty expe-
rienced in working and training the 95 cwt. 68-
pounders on the main decks of our iron ships during
a cruise was found to be most serious, and it was
acknowledged that some other mode of working and
training such guns than by the bungling, slow
handspike method must be adopted to render the
ship's maindeck guns efficient. To meet this diffi-
culty the present carriage has been constructed.
Two-cranked shafts are fixed underneath the car-
riage with the apex in front on a cup-bearing rest-
ing on the deck, the rear ends of the cranks carry-
ing metal trucks on wheels. By a side lever and
rope-fall the gun and carriage can either be thrown
on the cup-bearing and rear trucks, and thus become
