Third Class.
1. Frolic ... ...12 London A. Cox, Esq.
2. Esk
..12 Whitby R. Antrem, Esq.
Want of space compels us to give tie shortest sum-
mary of the day's proceedings. The wind was a
steady light breeze from N.N.V., and the weather
was remarkably fine. There was, unfortunately, no
first-class vessels, but those which were entered
contested for the prizes with mach spirit and
skill. The distance was judiciously shortened by
the Noble Commodore, when the vessel arrived at
Leigh Roads, about two and a half miles below South-
end ; at which place the Ino rounded first, at 3h. 54m.
47 sec., followed by the Secret, at 3h.-Mna. 25 sec., and
the Frolic, at 4h. 13m. 18 sec., and the Prima Donna and
Esk. The Ino proved herself the most weatherly vessel
of the squadron, but the Secret fore-reached her on
every tack, and, soon after rounding, overhauled her and
took the lead, and won the prize ; arriving at Erith 6h.
39m. 15 secs. ; the Ino arrived at 6h. 43in. 9 secs. ;
Prima Donna, 7h. la]. 8 secs. ; the Frolic, 7h. Am. ; and
Esk, 7h. 33m. 5 secs. The only castalty which occur-
red was the carrying away of the Inn's topmast, which
snapped short in two, when off Tilbtry Fort. It was
speedily repaired, in a masterly manw!r, and the vessel
lost little or nothing by the accident. The Woolwich
Steam-packet Company's boats Dryad and Nymph, and
Waterman No. 10, with large parties on board also at-
tended the match. The band of the Rcyal Horse Guards
Blue was on board the Commodore's iteam-vessel, and
all parties enjoyed the attention paid to them on this
most agreeable holiday very much.
The prizes of 60 guineas and :0 guineas respectively
were duly presented to the winners by Lord Alfred
Paget, and the City of Canterbury re;urned to London-
bridge at a suitable hour.

CRICKET. -
KENT v. ENGLAND.

The renewal of this contest was yesterday morning
looked for with no small anxiety, and accordingly the
assemblage of the nobility and the other members of the
Marylebone and of the metropolitan clubs was, if possible,
' more numerous than on the first day, With regard to
the play, the course which the game assumed was such
as to deprive us of the opportunity, even if our columns
would admit of it, of dilating at any length upon its pro-
gress. The great feature of the match, however, was the
introduction of Hinckley. He is by birth Kent, but for
several years he has been a resident in Surrey ; and
although not attached to that ground as a regular bowler,
he is an attendant at the Surrey Cricket-ground, Ken-
niegton•oval, and has also an engagement with the
Montpelier Club, which until this season has been
at the Oval from the clay of its formation. He
is thus by residence a " Surrey man." His
essay at Lord's as a bowler in this match was mutt
prosperous, for a reference to the score will show that
whilst in the first innings he was instrumental in taking
six wickets, so in the second the whole ten succumbed
to his powers.. To those who have not seen him, we
may, as a matter of information, say that he is a short
man, about five feet six inches, wiry, and delivers at a
fast pace with the left hand. He is generally
about the
wicket, and but for the interposition of the bat would
much more frequently disturb the wicket than the
steady player permits. In the first hands the Eleven of
England told up 120, and in their second 74 only resulted
from their efforts. But there was a must unusual falling
off on the part of Kent, for their totals were only 90 and
49, so that they lost by .5.5 runs. The "great stars of
Kent" fell off in this contest, for whilst in the first hand
there were only three scores amounting to two figures—
those being Martingell 24, Pilch 19, and Dorrinton 16,
so in their second there were but two above an 8—
namely, Mr. Myna 11,
and Mr. Edwards 14. The truth,
however, must be told—this was not the brilliant display
that usually characterises this match.
