ETON REGATTA-SATURDAY.
The Annual Regatta took place on Saturday at Etcm,
commemoration of the four hundredth anniversary of
lie foundation of this venerable College—
" Where grateful science still adores,

Her Henry's holy shade."
This event, as most of our readers may be aware, is cele-
brated by an aquatic procession of boats handsomely fit-
ted up for the occasion, and rowed by Eton boys, under
the guidance of a captain to each boat, who is chosen
from amongst the crew. They proceed up the river as far
as Surley Hall, where they partake of some refreshment,
and then return to Eton. It was expected that Prince
Albert would have honoured the festlN:ties on Saturday
with his presence, and accompanied the procession to
Surley Hall ; his Royal Hig:mess, however, was engaged
laying the first stone of an Orphan Asylum at Wanstead,
and was unable to come.

The morningdid not promise propitiously for the day's
enjoyment, out towards evening it brightened up, and
six o'clock the boys being liberated from the painful
durance of the college walls, rushed forth in shoals,
while gigs and wherries began to glide from the shore,
and fast dipping oars to sparkle in the light of the sink-
ing sun. At this hour, too, the company were fast as-
sembling in the Brocas ; and though the number of
spectators were not so numerous as we have seen them
on former occasions, there was a pretty fair muster of
well-dressed people on horseback and on foot, who lined
the shore from the Brocas to the Clump. At that part
of the shore from whence the boats started a space was
railed in for the accommodation of the young gentlemen
who were to row, and at this point were drawn up a
number of private carriages, containing for the moat part
ladies, who appeared highly interested at the scene. A
gun, which was fired as the clock struck seven, was the
signal for the boats to prepare, and in a few seconds the
juvenile watermen were all aboard their respective craft,
the steerer of each boat wearing the Uniform of an
officer of the royal navy. At this moment the appear-
ance of the river and the shore was exceedingly ani-
mated. After rowing once by the company, the seven
Etonian boats went off in beautiful style, preceded by
two other boats containing the band of the Oxford Blues
playing the popular air " Nix my Dolly."
