They all took the start beautifully together, and off
Finch's, red was first by a boat's length or nearly so; yellow
second, and about as much in advance of the third pair.
Almost immediately after this, the Messrs Fellows rowed
themselves right iuto the bight on the Surrey shore, and as
a consequence were doomed to the unpleasantness of a stern
chase. Yellow took it up at the upper part of Finch's
grounds, and kept it throughout, and won by three or four
lengths.

Cooke, Hungerford (Red) 1

P. Phelps, Putney (Green) 0
Immediately after the start, purple, red, and red and
white, dashed off in slight advance of the others. The two
first were unable to continue the pace, and Missam went
ahead of the whole party. Leach then challenged him.
Cooke was at this time closely pressed by IPKinney, and the
rowing on all sides, exceptlag Phelps's, was of the most
spirited character. Cooke went gradually and beautilully in
advance, and then a severe; and, if possible, a more desperate
struggle occurred between Leach, Missam, and APKinnev,
for the second position, and after rowing half a mile so closely
that a blanket would have covered the three at any part of
the distance, Leach was successful by a length.
Second Heat.

Cobb, Greenwich - 0
Watts, of Waterloo-bridge, was rowing to the station in
his wager wherry, when he was run down by some awkward
or ill •designing below-bridge men in a skit, and a steamer
coming up at the moment, he was fortunate in escaping with
his life. He was much hurt, and unable to come to the
station.

Stripe, yellow, and light blue got off together. Pink hung
a length astern. When about twenty yards Stripe went out
in e.dvance by a quarter of a boat's length, pink nearing the
second and third by great exertion. Light blue then dashed
off in advance of the whole party, and opposite the Crab
Tree the third mancame up to Lett arid challenged him, but
was unable to overhaul him, and fell astern, Cobb seemed
out of sorts, and too light for the wind, which was blowing
heavily, and hampered him considerably. Won by four
lengths with the most perfect ease, the second man well
ahead of the third.

Purple, yellow, and green, went off together at a flue
pace, light blue not getting under weigh so soon. They,
however, soon put on the steam, to make up for lost time;
purple then drew out a trifle in advance, and next came
yellow, and a smart brush occurred between these pairs,
light -blue waiting too closely upon them to render the
matter pleasant. Yellow took the lead a little above
Springate's, light blue being close upon them, , and they
were stroke and stroke for some distance, making a most
beautiful race. At the Crab Tree purple made up to yellow,
and kept them at very smart work. Light blue also neared
the two leading boats, and the whole formed a very pretty
picture. Won by two lengths.

Two others started. It was a very well contested race, and
the young men deserved much credit for their rowing. Won

WATERMEN SCULLERS' MATCH.
Final Heat.

The start was splendid, the contest beautiful throughout.
On the signal being given light blue shot out, but before
they had rowed sixty yards, red, purple, and light blue were
as level as when at station. Light blue then took the lead,
and then purple came up alongside, and showed a trifle in
advance. Pocock again went in advance, and Leach and
Cooke made a most determined struggle for second, Which
ended in Leach dropping astern. Cooke then rowed with
great spirit after Pocock, and off the Vice-Chancellor's resi-
dence was scull and scull with him, but Pocock put on a de-
termined spurt, and although pressed hard by his opponent,
won by half a length only'. They came in thu5..........

THE LATE MR. HAYDON.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE.
Sir,—The lamentable death of the late B. R. Haydon, and
the painful embarrassments in which the family are placed,
seem to have awakened deep sympathy in the public mind,
and a desire to manifest the same in any way that would be
agreeable to the feelings:of the family, and a means of extri-
cating them from their present difficulties.
I would suggest as a means of effecting this object, that
the gratuitous use of one of the picture galleries be sought
(perhaps the Royal Academy would embrace the opportunity
of acting upon the principle of " forget and forgive," by
granting the use of their rooms at the close of the season),
and the owners of the works of the late eminent artist be
solicited for the loan of the same for a public exhibition, the
proceeds to be for the benefit of the widow and family. Some
such plan, I think', would be well supported.
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
Oxford-street, June 29, 1846. J. H. B.

HAIL STORM.—On Thursday afternoon the country
bet Ween Mailing and Rochester was visited by a severe
thunder storm, during which there was a heavy fall of hail,
which did considerable damage to the crops and vegetation
generally in the neighbourhood ; in many instances strip-
ping the trees of their leaves ; the corn, hops, and fruit
plantations having all received damage, more or less, from
this awful v144441;1.
