AQUATICS.
VAUXHALL AND HORSEFERRY REGATTA.-The fourth an-
nual regatta for two wherries and other prizes, given by the
inhabitants of St. John the Evangelist, Westminster, took
place yesterday. Until within the last four years the free
watermen of this parish rowed two matches, those at Vauxhall
Bridge contencling for a purse of sovereigns, and the Horse.
4erry men having annually a distinct wager for a boat. These
tvro w.,gers have, however, been united in one, and the wealthy
inhabitants of this parish have taken the management into
their own hande, a committee having been appointed to con-
duct the wager and receive contributions. Much trouble was
taken in the arrangement of yesterday, but the very unfavour-
able state of the weather prevented anything like an attendance
of respectable persons. The Gipsy steamer had been engaged
and was moored off facing the Horseferry. The contest was
with sixteen pairs of sculls (two pairs in each boat), three
heats, the distance being to start from buoys moored of the
Horseferry, round a boat moored off the Spread Eagle, down
through Westminster Bridge, and back to the buoys off the
Horseferry. The following had been entered for the first
heat :—Thos. Rush and Ben Swaney, brown ; Samuel Chalk
and Andrew Bray, blue ; George Parker and Rush, jun.,
yellow ; Edward Gardner and Wm. Dolwin, red. This heat
was won by blue and yellow. The following comprised the
second heat :—Chas Mango and Edw. Martin, green ; Thos.
Davies and J. Hicking, white ; J. Royal, sen., anti Edw.
Hunt, stripes; and Ralph Gardner and Thoa. Grace, pink.
It was won by white and stripes.
At half-past five the grand heat started, the rain descending
in torrents. Green took the leach after a few strokes, and
maintained it throughout, although closely pressed by stripes.
Green won by three lengths ; stripes were second and yellow
third.
