Grand Heat.

Lambeth Crew . 1
Western Crew 0

The Lambeth crew took the lead immediately after the
start, retained it throughout, and won easily.

The Fourth, or Losers' Heat.
The Temple Crew
The Fulham Crew
The Western Crew 0
The Rory O'More Crew 0

A very capital start was effected, immediately after
which the last-named crew took a slight lead, but were
unable to keep it more than 150 yards, the race being
rowed down from Chiswick Eyot to Putney-bridge. The
Western an.d Fulham then went in front, and the latter
drawing upon the former, took the lead. The Temple
crew, who had been astern, now began to mend their posi-
tion, and challenging the Fulham crew, drew slightly
ahead of them at the Crab Tree, but a fine race was kept
up to the. finish, and it was only won by a length ; the
third bc,at was a length and a half astern of the second.
Scullers' Race, open to the world, except the present
Champion of the Thames. The first two boats in each of
the trial heats to row in the grand heat.

First Heat.
G. Everson, Greenwich
E. Eagers, Chelsea
J. Mackinney, Richmond 0
C. Turner, Rotherhithe 0

The last named did not start well.. The others were off
together very finely, Everson with the lead, Mackinney
second, and Eagers close up. At the Point Eagers came
up with Mackinney, and after a fine dashing race went
ahead of him at Craven, but off the Soap-work Mackinney
again came up very gallantly to his quarter, but could not
pass him. Everson won easily, but the race between the
others for second place was, as will be seen, very fine.
Second Heat.
George Drouett, Chelsea..
E. Cooper, Newcastle
G. Hammerton, Kingston 0
T. Crout, Woolwich

They were all off together, then Hammerton took a slight
lead, followed by Cooper, and next came Drouett. Off the
Star and Garter Cooper took the lead, and gradually in-
creased it to a length off the London boat-house. Drouett
now came up with great pace upon Hammerton, who fell
astern. A very fine race now ensued between Drouett and
Cooper, in which they rowed scull and. scull to the Soap
works, where Drouett took the lead, and won by half a
length.

Grand Heat.
H. Cooper, Newcastle
E. Eagers, Chelsea 0
G. Drouett, Chelsea
G. Everson, Greenwich....

The latter is a great sculler, but perhaps did not care to do
much in the race. He and Cooper took the lead, Eagers
close upon them, and at the Crab Tree they were all level,
and Everson may be said to have left off rowing there, and
the result of a most determined race between Cooper and
Eagers was that the former won by half his length.
Champion Four-oared Race. Open to the World.
Claspers' Crew, Newcastle
London Crew 0
Hammersmith Crow 0

The Newcastle Crow.—J. 11, Clasper, E. Winship, R.
Chambers, 11. Clasper, and R. Clasper, coxswain.
The London Crew.—J. W. Tagg, W. Bell, J. Mac-
kinney, H. Kelly, and J. Mackinney, coxswain.
The Hammersmith Crew.—J. Hoare, T. Hoare, jun., T.
Hoare, G. Green, and T. Green, coxswain.

This race attracted, as it ever has since its first establish..
ment, universal attention, and the greatest races ever rowed
upon the Thames have been for the champion prize. The
success of the Ciaspers at the Thames Regattas has long
been a theme of praise, and they were, as they have often
been before, the favourites.

Mr. T. S, Egan, of the University of Cambridge, kiadly
consented to take the onerous duty of umpire in this taco,
and the committee boat, the Venus, which had been motion-
less up to this time, was now put upon her speed, and ac-
companied the race. The Hammersmith crew had the best
place, next to them the London, and the Newcastle had the
worst position. It was supposed that the race would entirely
lie between the Newcastle and London crews, and the for-
mer were backed at 5 and 6 to 4, and there was a great deal
of money laid out upon the event. Mr. Egan started them
all admirably, and for something like 50 yards they were
all level, but immediately afterwards the Newcastle and
London began to leave the Hammersmith men astern. Off
the Star and Garter, the race being rowed up from Putney
to Chiswick Eyot, the Claspers showed the nose of their
boat in front, and a most determined struggle was carried
on between this and Craven Cottage, where, notwithstand-
ing the extraordinary exertions of the Londoners, the New-
castle men, who had gained their lead inch by inch, were
just drawing their stern from being overlapped, and the
Newcastle men were not over well steered. The Londoners
still rowed with great power, but their opponents continued,
as before, to increase their lead, and about as slowly. The
Newcastle men passed under Hammersmith-Fudge half a
length clear. After passing through Hammersmith-bridge
the Londoners got closer on the Surrey-side, and avoiding
some of the wind, they gained a trifling advantage, but still
the Newcastle men led, and gallantly pulled on with the
same regularity and steadimss as at first, and they finally
won by three-quarters of a length clear ; the Hammes
smith men were hPli-a-dozen lengths astern of the Lon-
doners.

The Hon. George Denman, President of the Thames
Subscription Club, presented the various prizes. Much
regularity was kept up by Mr. Stephen Salter's able
management of the umpire's watermen.

CHINESE EMIGRATION.—An act Was passed in
1561 by the Colonial Legislature to regulate and restrict
the immigration of Chinese to New South Wales, It im-
poses, as had been previously done in Victoria a tax of
£lO on each male native of China arriving in the colony,
whether by sea or land. Chinese already in the colony are
exempted from the tax on obtaining a certificate from the
nearest clerk of petty sessions or gold commissioner on or
before Feb. 28, 1862. It also provides that no ship shall
bring Chinese into the colony in greater proportion than
one person to every ten tons of the ship's towage, and tha
certificates of naturalisation shall not in future be issued to
Chinese. The act has been left to its operation, but, as the
strong objections felt by the Australian colonies to this
great measure from its exclusively
immigration arise in g
male character, it has been suggested that some modifica-
tions might to made in its provisions where the immigrants
are accompanied by a proportion of women.
