THE GUY'S CLUB BOAT RACE.

A very spirited boat race took place yesterday evening
amongst the gentlemen cf this highly respectable aquatic
club, for four silver oars and a rudder, presented by Dr.
Lever. The race was from Putney-bridge to Chiswick Eyot,
with tide, and was accompanied by the Thames Club eight
and other boats.

Messrs. Hewit-(stroke), H. C. Brencbley, F. R. Cox, A.
Poland, and P. W. Thompson (steerer) ...... Red) 1
Messrs. G. F. Cooper (stroke), J. W. Howard, Smith,
Manthorpe, and Raby (steerer) (Green) 2
Messrs. J. Squire (stroke), C. Gruggena, J. Henley, J.
B. Hicks, and Greenwood (steerer).... ..... (Dark Blue) 0
The start was taken at the same moment by the whole of
the crews, and they went away prettily together at a very
dashing pace. After a few strokes red and green went away
together, and a long and lasting struggle ensued between
them for the " pride of place." Red took the lead, but could
scarcely do more, notwithstanding the exertions of the crew,
than keep their boat clear of their adversaries, and in this
position they continued up to Hammersmith-bridge; red,
after this, slightly improved their advantage, winning by
three lengths only.

SUGAR.—Today no advance occurred in the value of
Raw Sugar. The home-trade were desirous to do business
in most sorts to day, whilst some parcels were taken by the
brewers and distillers. On the part of exporters, however,
little desire was shown to operate. Importers of West India
Mu wide evinced firmness, and insisted upon prices equal
to those of Friday for all kinds, and at which a good business
was transactee
REFINED.—Io• day refined goods were in excellent request
by the home trade, and prices ruled firm. Bonded Crushed
Sugar sells freely for exportation.

Brandy is offered upon further reduced terms, still few con-
tracts have been entered into by exporters or the home trade,
whilst the stock is on the increase; the deliveries, however.

mand. For British Corn Spirits the demand is very good.
