BARTHOLOMEW'S AND GUY'S CLUBS BOAT•

_
RACE.
This event, which has of late excited great interest in
the aquatic circles, came off on Tuesday; but owing to
an unforeseen occurrence, disappointed a great portion
of the aquatic amateurs who had assembled to witness it.
The distance was from Putney-bridge to Chiswick
Eyot, and the Thames, Herne, Guy's, Bartholomew's,
Thetis, Clothiers', and other boats were in attendance.
Bartholomew's— Messrs. Girdleston (stroke) ; 3.
Watson ; 2. Williams ; 1. Warwick ; Waship
(steerer) 1
Guy's—Mr. Hewitt (stroke) ;3. Cooper; 2. Mathorpe;
1. Brinckly; P. Thompson.
Mr. Chapman, of the Thames, officiated as umpire.
A reasonably good start was succeeded by both parties
veering from the course in which they should have
rowed, the Guys too closely bugging the Middlesex
shore, their station, and the Bartholomew's, on their
part, steering too much towards the bight on the Surrey
shore. In a few strokes they were almost level, the
Bartholomews having the lead for about a foot; then
the Guys began to draw in advance, and off Rose Bank
had their length clear. It was a capital race all the way
up to Hammersmith-bridge, the Bartholomews putting
on some strong spurts, but the Guys! gaining at every
stroke. At about 200 yards above Hammersmith-
bridge, at which time the Guys were leading by above
three lengths, Mr. Mathorpe broke his thaul, and, of
course, could row no longer ; the other three pulled
away as well as they could, but the Bartholomews gra-
dually came up to their opponents, and jumped their
boat in half a length ahead.

ACCIDENT TO THE SEA KlNG.—Yesterday morn-
ing, about 2 A.m.:, owing to the very dente f,g which
prevailed, the steam,r Sea King went ashore on the
smallest of the Copeland Islands, on her passage from
Liv,rpool to this port. No blame whatever is attribut-
able to Captain Gowan, who was on deck at the time.
The lead was going constantly, and the -vessel at slow
speed, but the fog was so intense that no precaution was
of avail, as a proof of which we may state, that even
i after the ship struck, the land was invisible, though hut
1 fifteen or twenty yards distant. The passengers were
1 and
all safely disembarked in the course of the morning,
up to town by various conveyances.
