BOAT RACE BETWEEN THE ETON AND
IVESTMINSTEP SCHOLARS.

On Thuisday a boat race tolik place between eight &to-
nianwand eight Westminster .enolars, from Staines-bridge to
Penton Hook, a distance of two miles and a half, and back
again to the former place. The race, although for no stake,
excited very great interest. Westminster had already been
twice beaten by the.Etonians, viz., once in London, and once
at Maidenhead ; and the former were longing to regain their
lost laurels, which they hoped to do in this the third contest
At Staines upwards of 1,000 people had congregated. The
Etonians' boat, the Victory, belonged to Mr. Hester, and was
built by Messrs. Honey and Archer, of London. The rowers
were Wyndham, Croft, Shadwell, Rouse, Garnett, CtifPlß,
ma., and Currie, max. ; Fellows was eapt4in, arid the boat
was steered by Robert Brads, tlton, The boat of the West-
minster scholars, the Fairy Queen, was a beautiful one, built
for this occasion, and of deal, by the well-known " Paddy
Knowlton," of London, who acted as steersman. The gcsii,
struction of this boat was highly favourable to OW oi4tlPft of

as
the Etonian. Previous to starting it was mutually agreed
that there should be no fouling," but that compact was
speedily and repeatedly broken, for so much " fouling" took
place that at the termination of the contest both boats wore
considerably damaged.
The start from Staines-bridge was given by Captain Beau-
champ, of the Royal Horse Guards, and Westminster got a-
head for a short distance, when they were caught by the
Etonian* and passed, but Westminster again came w, tai
fouled them. They had then got about half a 1111101 stud it was
declared to be a false start. As soon as It eetild LW arranged
they were again started, when Westminster again got in ad.
min!) and kept for throe quarters of a mile. Now the supe-
riority of the gtoniarts was displayed; they pulled up to and
passed the Westminster, and kept the load until they were
rounding the pole at the eNtent of the distance out; West-
minster being close behind struck the Viotory an tho quarter,
and titrne4 the Etonian4 taunt, and the Westminster again
took the lead. The Rtoelatis, however, manfully exerted
themselves and successfully, as it was soon discovered that
Westminster could cot maintain their position. Eton again
got the Wad, kept it, and came in gallantly about three boats'
lengths in advance, It was considered by all who witnessed
the race that it was admirably contested, and that a finer dis-
play of rowing never was witnessed.
The successful competitors and their fellow students (corn-
prisiur, nearly the whole school) then returned to Eton much
elated, and wearing blue favours in token of their victory.
The scene as they passed through Windsor was of as lively a
description as is generally seen on the day of the race for the
Ascot Cup.
