THAMES GRAND REGATTA.
LAST DAY.
The attendance of company on Saturday exceeded
even that of the previous day, and was extremely re-
spectable. The racing was very fine, and afforded much
gratification to the visitors.

Purple two lengths behind the second boat. The lattcr

also outrowed the other boat, and won by
two lengths.

It was a tine start ; then Green shot away with a
slight lead, followed by Red and White, Pink being
.astern. They had not proceeded far when Green broke
a thoul ; but, notwithstanding this accident, and the
efforts of the Red and White off the Crab-tree to over-
haul them, Green continued their lead, and won by two
lengths.

Messrs. Cooper and Hewitt were also in this heat, but
at the moment of starting their very light boat capsized,
and they were immersed in the water, but were soon
extricated. Yellow took the lead, followed by Purple,
but on nearing the Crab-tree the last named pair began
to fall off, and Red and White challenged Yellow. A
most gallant race followed, ill which they were almost
oar and oar for a mile. On nearing Putney-bridge, the
race having been rowed downwards from Hammersmith
bridge, encouraged by the deafening shouts of the popu-
lace, a desperate effort was made for the victory, but one
of the St. George's gentlemen made a false stroke and
their opponents went in winners by two lengths.
