GOOLE REGATTA

THE LONDON GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.
More visitors by rail and by water helped to pack all 1
houses of entertainment, which were on the 3revious day
pretty well filled. Heaps of boiled and roast rapidly
vanished, and were washed down with floods of beer ;
whilst in the neighbourhood of "canvas town" the music
of various qualities, good, bad, and indifferent, the clouds
of tobacco smoke, and the husky efforts of serenaders,
peripatetic showmen, and ginger-beer manufacturers,
were perfectly bewildering. Captain Collier, as usual,
was the presiding genius of the sports ; and one notice-
able feature was the removal of the committee-room to
jolly host Chattam's, to the great chagrin of his rival,
Cliffe.

The sports commenced yesterday with a prize of

viz., Frolic, Pearl, and Flirt, which started at 2.15, the
Frolic taking the lead and keeping it throughout, and
arriving the winning boat at 4.9.20, the Pearl 4 13.12,
and the Flirt 4.20.35.

Chance, beating Wonder, English Prize, Jessamine, Elf,

Mr. Fletcher's boat, beating Mr. Cliffe's and Mr. Pear-
son's boats.

Miner matches and other miscellaneous sports con-
cluded the programme. The weather, though cloudy,
was fair, the wind keeping N.W. or thereabouts. It is
to be hoped that an endeavour will be made previous to
next regatta to liberalise the management, and to throw
open the competition to all England, by which means
better sport may be insured.
