Messrs. L. A. Mouflet and C. Mouflet, Thames Club
North London ledfor a few strokes, London next, andthe
Ifouflets last. Near the pier London drew up and passed
North London, and the Mouflets, with a good station, came
in contact with North Londoxi, going ahead of them second,
the other Thames pair also collaring North London, who
were in no sort of form. New Simmonds's the Moufiots,
half way over the London, ran ii Ito a yacht at anchor, and
capsized; this enabled London to ,get away, and, the others
rowing well to the Point, North London were beaten.
London held a good lead right home, winning by ten
lengths ; North London four lengths astern of Thames.

three lengths astern ; Twickenham, athough in the worst
water, obtained a fine load ; Ariel and London together.
The West London pair soon recovered, and rowing fast
but without style, collared the Londoners and Ariels,
Twickenham leading, and they rowed a fine race to Sim-
monds's ; here London, endeavouring to avoid a foul with
the Ariels, camp into collision with West London, and by
this became third ; West London last. The Londoners
soon got clear and cut down the Ariels, and when level
with Twickenham they ran into a boat, Fenner being
thrown on his back ; the West London came over their
stern, . crossed, and came out third, but when off again the
London pair put it on, disposed of West London and Ariel
at the Point and Dung Wharf, and, catching Twickenham
at the Crab Tree, went to the front. The Ariels now steered
badly, but came up over the Twickenham stern; the latter,
however, by good watermanship, washed them right home,
and came in second by two lengths to London; Ariel third,
a length astern of Twickenham ; and West London last.
No foul allowed, but claimed by West London. The row-
ing in the first three boats was good, but that of the Ariel
pair deserves great commendation.

FINAL HEAT-
Stinton and Fenner, London 1
Willis and Graham; London

Bowyer and Patterson, Twickenham

Radmall and Catty, Thames
They started from Hammersmith-bridge; Thames with
the worst station, and Willis and Graham the best. Soon
after the start, in which Twickenham was fastest, they
fouled Thames, and the two London pairs had the issue
left to them as early as the Soapworks, Twickenham and
Thames keeping up a second and fine race astern. At the
Crab Tree the pace in Willis's boitt was maintained as fast
as at starting, but Fenner getting into the best water drew
gradually to the Dung Wharf, where Willis led only a
quarter of his length. Steering badly soon after, however,
he was passed by Fenner and washed ; but, crossing his
stern at the Point, Willis came up inside. At the London
boathouse half a clear length separated them, and Fenner,
steering badly, allowed Willis to be only half a length to
the bad at Simmonds's. As they drew up foot by foot the
excitement was intense, and the shouts from all sides
deafening. By a series of fine spurts from the Duke's Head
to the Star and Garter, Willis and Graham drew up level,
and before they had cleared the end of the pier they led by
three feet. Odds were laid on thorn as Stinton faltered;
but when a quarter of a length ahead, 20 yards from tho
