Third Heat.

George Murgatroyd
Henry Cannon - 0
John Tomlin ,
George M'Lean
This heat, as it will be seen, consisted of the Posers of
the two previous heats, the first man in each lay ing by.
It was a very spirited heat, the men rowing very capi-
tally together, and by the equality of the two first for
some distance keeping up the excitement. Won by
two or three lengths. _

Final Heat.

James Finnis (Yellow) 1
George Murgatroyd (Red) 2
William Jobbins
For a moment or so only after the start was it ques-
tionable who had the lead ; Finnis went away- at a
slashing pace, and kept it throughout, increasing the
lead at every stroke, and winning easily. The other
two made a much closer race.

SALAD.—SaIad is a production of taste ; it belongs to
the Fine Arts, and can no more be acquired by rule than
can poetry, or sculpture, or painting. You may indeed
measure, or hew out, or daub off a salad. You may
know that lettuce requires very little oil, arid endive
very much ; that rape needs beetroot and celery ; that
that cold cauliflower is the basis of a delicious salad used
very much in Italy, but almost unknown in England ;
you may know that four table-spoonsful of oil should go
generally to one of vinegar ; that the salt is a matter to
be nervous with ; that, above all things, it is neces3ary
to dissolve thoroughly the salt in the vinegar before you
add the oil. All this you may know; and you may
know how to collect at the right season the right herbs ;
yet, nevertheless, ycu must be born a salad maker, with
the full measure of native tact, if you would shine in the I
profession. It has even been doubted, in the face qf the I
great Gandet, whether one man can combine in himself
all the qualities which go to make a perfect salad-maker
--a-because, to complete a salad properly, is said, in fact,
to require the united efforts of four different men : a
spendthrift for the oil, .a miser for the vinegar, a sage for
the salt, and a maniac for the raizing,—The Roving Eng-
