AQUATICS.
ISLEWORTII REGATTA.--This match was well contested'
and could boast of the attendance of a large number of very
fashionably attired persons from Richmond and its vicinity.
We are informed that it was even graced with the presence of
the Duke of Cambridge, and portions of the families of the
nobility resident in the neighbourhood. It was a sculler's
contest, nine pairs in four heats, for a purse of sovereigns, and
" other prizes" (not mentioned), given by the resident ladies
and gentlemen. The following had been entered to contend :
First heat—Richard Neal, red ; William Mariner, white ;
James Argent, blue.
Second heat—John Glinn, red ; William Platt, white ; John
Berry, blue.
Third heat—Charles Smith, red; William Timms, white ;
Richard Munday, blue.
The distance was to start from buoys off the Marquis of
Ailsa's, down the Surrey shore, round a boat moored off the
Duke of Northumberland's pavilion, up the Middlesex shore,
round the starting-place, and finish at the pavilion. The first
heat was decided in favour of Mariner, the second was won
by Berry, and the third by Timms. The three winners
started at half past six for the grand heat. Mariner got clear
off in the start, and maintained his advantage, winning by some
lengths. The other two fouled severely, and Timms ulti-
mately came in second.
TOWER REGATTA,The annual contest among the water-
men plying at the Tower took place on Tuesday. It was with
six pairs of sculls, in four heats, and was well rowed. Elms,
Gray, and Bartlett, as the winners of the three first heats,
started for the grand heat. Gray soon got the lead, main-
tained it, and won by four or five lengths. The match was
got up by the inhabitants of the Tower Hamlets.
