The following arc a few additional particulars of the races sent
from the ground.
100 Sovs. Stakes.—The Augustus colt made the play to the dis-
tance, .where Wapiti went up and seemed to have it all her own
way. The colt, however, struggled home, and was beaten by a
neck. The winner could have done it easily had she tried.
Goodwood Stakes.—Conciliation went off with the lead at a good

,lace,h ey ran in this order to the rails, where Heron dropped behind,
and St. Luke because " first in the throng." Loutherbourg, how-
ever, was not disposed to let him keep there long ; for, as they ap-
proached the distance, he went to his side, and a fine struggle for
victory commenced. It was nearly head and head to the stand,
where it was apparent that St. Luke had shot his bolt; about
twenty yards from the chair Loutherbourg made him safe, and in
the end won cleverly by a length. Heron was the third, Maho-
metan fourth, and Valentissimo fifth, but none of them near the
first two. The betting was checked for some time by the uncer-
tainty which prevailed with respect to Harkaway's starting till
within an hour or two of the race. It is not yet decided whether
Chapeau must be considered as having gone to the post.
The weather was dull in the early part of the day, and showery
in the afternoon, nor was the attendance as full as on Tuesday.
His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge has joined ttio
party at Goodwood.
In our notice of the arrangements yesterday, we omitted to state
that the police was under the orders of Superintendant May, In-
spector Pearce, and Serjeants Otway and Hubbersly of the A
division ; the best order was maintained.

AQUA TICS.
THE GREAT EIGHT-OARED CUTTER MATCH BETWEEN
TILE WESTMINSTER AND ETON SCHOLARS.—This great match,
which excited so much public interest, wo regret to ray, has
been prohibited, to the great disappointment of thousands.
The celebrity of the young gentlemen, both of Eton and West•
minster as scullery and oarsmen, has long been established.
Since the Great Leander and Cambridge cutter match, at-
tention has been directed to the comparative merits of the
boys, as they are termed, of Westminster and Eton. The
match had been made for Tuesday, that being one of their
days in their holidays, and the Westminster cricket match had
been adjourned in consequence of the cutter wager. Each
party had been in traitiind for several days, and five was the
4PPQinted time for the start. The whole of the great aquatic
Clubs were out, including several distinguished Noblemen and
Gentleman of the University of Cambridge, and the Thames

• was almost covered with small boats, independently of a
steamer crowded with company. The attendance on shore,
was extraordinary; the foot passengers were three or four
deep on the Bridges. At half-past four many of the leading
men on the River ascertained that there would be no match ;
but those at Battersea and Putney were left in total igno-
rance of this until their patience was completely exhausted.,
Many were the rumours relative to the disappointment, but it
was at length ascertained that the schoolmaster of the West-
minster boys had:prohibited their rowing. It was stated that
he had locked three of the Westminster crew up, or at any
rate had taken care they should not leave the room, The an-
nouncement that there would be uo match created much dis-•
satisfaction. On subse.quent inquiry we have ascertained that
there is no chance of the match coming off.
DOGGLT'S COAT AND BADGE.—This old-established and
much-celebrated trial of skill among the young watermen ply-
ing on the Thames, for a coat and badge, bequeathed by Dog-
get, the comedian, took pines on Wednesay, and was admirdlly
contested. Of late years this contest has even poss; sscd mere
interest than heretofore, in consequence of the Great patronage
which has been extended by noblemen and gentlemen to the
science of rowing. It was first established about 120 years
since, when nobody thought of building wherries of the weigh •
of only 701 b., and when but few anticipated that boat-building
would ever be brought to so extraordinary a degree of perfec.
tion. The:articles in this match, of rowing in a working
wherry from the Swan at London-bridge, to the Swan at
Chelsea-bridge, were complied with for above a century, but
as rowing became a more fashionable'sport, this great distance,
and that too against tide, induced those who have the control
of this match to start the men just before flood, and, for the
last five years, permit the men to row in wager instead of work..
ing wherries. The following men, just out of their appren-
ticeship, were the competitors yesterday :
ABOVE BRIDGEMEN.—WiIIiam Joyce, Old Barge House;
Thomas Tagg, Thames Ditton ; Joseph Wiggins, Horseferry,
BELOW BRIDGEMEN.—James Bridge, Kidney Stairs ; Geo.
Wilson, Wapping Old Stairs; Charles Vernon, Horseley-
down.

Wiggins was taken at 6 to 4 against the field, and Tagg was
next best in repute. The start took place nearly at flood; in
fact, so near it that there was not even a choice of station.
Joyce had the inside place to the shore, Tagg was right out-
side in the stream. The start was admirably taken by all, and
for two or three minutes their was no apparent lead. Wiggins
had the first good start, and Tagg was the next best, Bridge
being third. Joyce lay down admirably, but he could not at
that time overhaul his opponents ; Bridge passed Tagg imme-
diately afterwards. At Horseshoe-alley Wilson came up to
the second man, and in a minute or two passed him. These
two leading men went right ahead, and Joyce obtained the
third place off Peacher's Wharf. The rovving throughout was
admirable, but there was no more change woFthy of any no-
tice. At Chelsea College Wilson touched the leading man's
stern, but could not pass him. The men came in thus :
Bridge first, Wilson second, Joyce third, and Tagg fourth.
The second man receives 3/., and the third man 2/. ; it is the
interest of money in the Consols, bequeathed by Sir E. Joliffe.
The rain fell heavily during the match, but the attendance
was considerable.
