derbolt and Dr. Sidey's brown mare Maria, was won cleverly by
the mare; the race was well contested by Mr. Guille on Thunder-
bolt. The second race was between Mr. Nowlan's grey mare An-
n tie and Mr. Frith's bay mar t Pollv, and wa s won e sly by Mr.
Brooke on Annette ; Polly was ridden by her owner. Several
minor races came off in the course of the afternoon, which afforded
much amusement. The ground was much crowded.

AQUATICS.

MR. ROBINSON'S MATCH TO GRAVESEND —The match of

this gentleman to Gravesend is still the leading topic of con-
versation, and the odds are still 3 and 4 to 1 against him. lie
is expected to avail himself of the spring tides commencing on
the 29th instant, and whether it be a calm or not he has only
that or one of-the two following days to perform the task in.
lie speaks very confidently of success, and if determined cou-
rage can ensure a victory he has that requisite on his side.
The aquatic gentlemen have expressed much dissatisfaction at

the postponements.
SCULLERS' WAGER.—The challenge of Atkins to row a scul-
lers' wager against Coombes, the cracksman, who rowed for
Lyons's sovereigns last year, has been accepted by the gen-
tleman who backs the totter, but a greater amount of stake is
demanded than that proposed by Atkins. It will be a very
good match, both men having defeated the same party and
some good men in addition. It is expected to come off within
a fortnight.
