This match came off on Thursday, and was witnessed
by an immense concourse of spectators from all parts of
the country. During the afternoon the city was half
emptied of its inhabitants. The boats started from
Coldharn-hall, about half-past four o'clock. In the
London boat, the two Maynards, Lett, Perry, and Noul-
ton—one of the Maynards being coxswain. In the Nor-
wich boat, the two Girlings, Clarke, Le Fevre, and But-
tle steersman. The Norwich men, who strained every nerve,
plied their equal oars with great neatness and rapidity,
and appeared to gain at first, but the superior strength
and skill of the Londoners prevailed, and before they
passed Brundell Dyke they had increased the original
distance of a hundred yards apart ; they left the Nor-
wich boat still further behind as they passed Surlingham
Ferry, and at I3ramerton Woodsend and Pastwick Grove
tho boats were not in sight of each other. Tens of thou-
sands were on the look-out at Willingham. The red oars
of the London boat first appeared in sight, gleaming in
the sunshine, but the multitude appeared by no means
pleased while waiting for the appearance of the Norwich
boat ; when it did appear, the Londoners seemed to be
half a mile in advance. The Norwich men did their best,
but had hardly passed Willingham when the signal gun
announced that their competitors had won the day, and
passed the advanced distant post. The seven miles were
rowed by the London crew in 53 minutes, and in 56 mi-
nutes by the Norwich. The boat of the former is said to
have given them a decided advantage. On Saturday
several other matches came off. The first, for twenty
sovereigns, was intended to try what the Londoners
could do in a Norwich boat ; it was a three miles match,
from Bremerton to Thorpe.. In this match both crews
were in Norwich boats, 24 feet long, but the Londoners
wero, as before, successful ; it was, however, a close run,
the Norwich men coming in within 15 seconds of time,
and but 50 yards behind ; the three miles were rowed
in 22 minutes arid 55 seconds by the Londoners, and in
23 minutes and 10 seconds .bythe Norwich rowers. The
second was a two miles match, betweedtivo Lonaitti and
two Norwich amateurs, but in this again the Londoners
won by a few yards.-7-Ipswich Express.
