It was a beautiful race throughout. The Engineers
and the Thetis Club got off a little in advance of their
adversaries. All then went to work in gallant style,
and off the committee barge the Thetis, Civil, and St.
George's were nearly all abreast, the latter having by
hard work recovered the distance they had lost in the
♦tart. The St. George's then began to draw slightly in
advance, and before their arrival at the Crab Tree had
drawn themselves clear. The Thetis here put on a fierce
spurt, and came with their head level with the St.
(ieorge's No. 2, in which position stroke after stroke
they continued until near Hammersmith-bridge. Off
Mr. Lumley's the Civil Engineers, with some damage
done to their No. 3 thowl, made a dashing spurt, and got
up to within two or three yards of the Thetis, and kept
close till the end of the race. The St. George's won by
half a length, or a trifle less.

Stripe and black so hugged the Middlesex shore, near
Kew bank, as almost to put themselves out of the heat.
Campbell's boat was rowed foul of by a skiff, and they
svere consequdntly deprived of any chance of success.
Yellow and white, off Barn Elms, came by accident, in
slight contact with black and white. The two first boats
went away directly after the start, and kept it. Won
by four lengths.
