by the Westerns at a fine pace, but the Lambeth imme-
diately came at a dashing pace into the second place, and
again and again made some desperate efforts for first, but
the winners maintained the lead, winning by two lengths ;
there was the same distance between the second and
third.

The course in the above races was between Putney-bridge
and Chiswick Eyot.

Pair-oared Race. Open to the World.

E. Winship and R. Chambers, Newcastle
H. Kelly, Putney, and W. Bell, Richmond
H. Clasper and J. H. Clasper, Newcastle
The last-named pair were the renowned Harry Clasper
and his son, but Winship and Chambers (the non-resident
champion of the Thames) were the favourites; the second
named pair, Kelly (the ex-champion of the Thames) and
his partner being however backed by some people. The
Claspers had the best position, being on the Middlesex side.
They were admirably started, and all went away together,
Kelly with a momentary lead. Winship and his partner
immediately after began to draw slightly, and the Claspers
looked well for ',second place, Kelly and his partner not
being able to keep their boat steady, Winship and
Chambers, continually gained, foot by foot, until off
the committee's barge, where they were exactly their
own length clear. Up to this the other two boats
were strictly level, but here Kelly and Bell settling
down to their work more steadily, suddenly dashed nee-'.-
half a length ahead of tRA elagnarq_ when the le",r, just
_beluga-the point, as they were mending their position a little,
fouled a boat, and the others went right away, Winship and
his partner winning by ten lengths, easily.

First Heat.

J. W. Tagg, Molesey
J. Callas, Richmond
These were the only two who came to the post, and as
the first two were entitled to row in the grand heat, there
was no necessity for an effort.

INTRRNATIONAL CHESS CONGRESS.

The chess congress: commenced its public sittings
yesterday in St. James's-hall, when not less than
two hundred of the most distinguished chess players
from all parts of the world assembled together. For
some time past the congress has held meetings at
the various clubs in London, and some progress had
been made in the two great tournaments now in
course of playing. Of these tournaments the
one is for a prize of £loo,with five others of smaller
amount; and the second, a handicap tournament, is
for a first prize of £6O, and also five others of in-
ferior value.

The chief attraction of yesterday's proceedings
was the game between Herr Anderson—the cham-
pion of the great meeting of 1851—and Mr. Paul-
sen,the American player, both gentlemen being
competitors in the great tournament, the number of
competitors in which is 14. The game lasted four
hours, and excited the utmost interest among the
numerous groups who surrounded the table. Among
those present were Lord Lyttleton, the president of
the Chess Association; Lord Ravenaworth, Captain
H. A. Kennedy, one, of the vice-presidents of the
Chess Association; Mr. Mongredien,Mr. Hampton,
and Mr. Medle ; the chairman of the committee-
treasurer, and secretary of the Chess Association ;
Mr. Staunton, and a large number of both English
and foreign players The game ultimately termi-
nated in favour of Herr Anderson, who in all pro-
bability will carry off the chief prize in the tourna-
ment. The other games played were between Mr.
Barnes and Mr. Green—Barnes winning; Senor
Dubois and Mr. Blackburn—a drawn game; and
Mr. Owen and Herr Steinitz. In the Handicap
Tournament Herr Andersen beat,Mr. Lamb giving
him a knight; and Mr. Wilson, won a game from
Herr Steinitz. In the evening a grand match was
played between the London Club and the St.
James's Club—two of the leading English clubs.
The players representing the London Club were
Messrs. Mongredien, Medley, Deacon, Greenaway,
Bellieff, Schroeder, Maude, and Parminter, who
were respectively opposed by Messrs. Hannah
Stewart de St. Bon, Green, Sich, Howard, Young,
and Puller. The match did not terminate until a
late hour. At the hour of leaving, the London
Club had won four games, the St. James's Club one
game.

The whole of the arrangements of the meeting
were under the management of Herr Lowenthal,
who is himself a player in the tournaments, and
will probably carry off the prize in the handicap
contest. The management of the proceedings was
throughout admirable,and gave the greatest satisfac-
tion to the numerous visitors who thronged the hall.
On Saturday next the congress forms itself into a
deliberative body, for the purpose of revising the
laws of chess and establishing an authoritative code
that shall be universally accepted by all the chess-
playing nations. The result of these deliberations is
looked forward to with great interest. On two other
days of the sitting of the congress M. Paulsen and
Mr. Blackburne will display their extraordinary
powers by playing ten games with eminent players
simultaneously and blindfolded ; and on Thursday
there will be a grand match between the London and
Paris Clubs, the electric wires being brought into
the St. James's Hall and the Paris Club Room, in
order to obtain instantaneous communication be-
tween the players. The sitting of the congress will
probably extend through the present month, there
being upwards of 450 problems to adjudicate upon
as competitors for the problem prizes. The public
sittings terminate with the present week, the re-
mainder of the sittings of the congress taking place
at the various clubs in London.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.--Yesterday
being the first of the three one-shilling days, an enormous
number of persons flocked to Battersea Park by steamboats
and omnibuses, those who adopted the former mode of con-
veyance being exposed to great danger from the over-
crowding of the boats. From about nine in the morning
up to half•past four we were informed that the numbers
exceeded 40,000 ; and from that hour numberless boats ar-
rived in quick suocession, heavily freighted with passen-
gers, up to six o'clock, so that we have no doubt that we
may safely estimate the numbers at 50,000. The ample
space afforded for the animals exhibited and for the hosts of
visitors rendered it impossible to arrive at a strictly correct
estimate, but we believe we may venture to give the result
stated. The machinery and implement department natu-
rally attracted intense interest. We have already given
such an elaborate detail of the cattle, sheep, and pigs, that
it is needless to dilate further upon that point ; but we can-
not omit to allude to the display of entire horses, which
created a furore, the specimens being marveilously fine.
The arrangements were so perfect that nothing was:want-
ing to heighten the interest of this unequalled show. The
specimens of foreign cattle appeared to astonish a vast num-
ber of practical farmers, though the superiority in breed
and symmetry was acknowledged to rest with the English
cattle. The French merino sheep were universally coin-
mended. Lcoking to this as the first "shilling," day we
cannot doubt that the society will be reimbursed the re-
sponsibility which they have incurred, to the extent, we
believe, of £20,000. A large return may fairly be antici-
pated also from the continued public exhibition of steam
ploughs at work yesterday, to-day, and to-morrow, near
being given to visitors by trains
