AQUATICS,
HENLEY REGATTA.—FIRST DAY.
The success that has attended the exertions of the
committee since the first establishment of this regatta,
illustrates the fact that where men set to work in down-
right earnest, there is scarcely anything they cannot
achieve. This meeting has been considered for some
time past ono of the greatest in the kingdom. The
weather, contrary to many years past, on the occasion
of this aquatic meeting, was remarkably fine, and the
attendance of company greater than on any former year.
The Grand Stand and the bridge were thronged with the
nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood, and thousands
of persons congregated on the towing-path and in the
meadows on the Berks side of the Thames.
The sport commenced at half-past two, and continued
until nearly eight o'clock.
DIAXOND SCULLS.
First Heat.
_ _

Mr. G. P. Harpour,
Mr. W. Coulthard, St. George's Club, London
They were close together for a short distance. At
Reminham the winner had a good lead, and although his
opponent put on a very plucky spurt both here and at
the Poplars, he was unable to overhaul him. Won by
two lengths.

Second Heat.

Mr. W. Wilberforce, Oxford University Boat Club 1
Mr. W. Hope, Wadham College, Oxford 0
It was a close contest, and won by scarcely a length.
They were scull and scull for some distance.

Third Heat.

Mr. T. Bone, London 1
Mr. J. Walmsly, Thames Club, London
Mr. Wahtisly immediately took the lead, which he
retained for about 300 yards, when Mr. Bone fairly
rowed up to him. A most determined struggle ensued,
in the course of which the gentlemen took one another's
water. Mr. Bone drew gallantly ahead of his opponent,
who, in the heat of the race, pressed Mr. Bone, who was as
near the shore as he well could be, so closely, that he
fouled him, in consequence of which Mr. Bone was of
course declared the winner.
Fourth Heat.

Mr. W. L. Bagshawe, Trinity College, Cambridge I
Mr. T. Small, London
Mr. Bagshawe won eaiily. Mr. Small increased the
length of his distance by bad steerage.
Fifth Heat.

Mr. Wilberforce

Mr. Harpour
Almost immediately after the start Mr. Barpour was
going ahead, and in doing so fouled Mr. Wilberforce.
The latter was consequently declared the winner.
Sixth Heat.
Mr. Bagshawe
Mr. Bone 0
They made a capital start. Bagshawe, after a few
strokes, gradually took the lead, and ultimately won by
four or live lengths, bis opponent in the course of the
distance being retarded by catching the shore with one
of hisisctills.
PAIR OARED RACE FOR THE SILVER WHERRIES
Messrs.. A. Thompson and B. Johnson, Christchurch,

Oxford ...................................................... 1
Messrs. S. Wallace and S. D. Druce, Thames Club 0
Immediately after the start 'Wallace and his partner
went slightly in advance, and being too anxious to take
their :adversaries' water, fouled them. The Oxford
pair'
wore consequently declared the winners.
RACE FOR mAKEPEACE'S WHERRY, for Amateurs resi-
dent within 12 miles of Henley.
First Heat.
Mr. H. :Sergeant, Henley . .
Mr. E. Green, Henley ..............................
Mr. J. Cocks, Reading ................................. -
It was a good race forsome.distance, . Sarge. isnot
who rowed, as usual, extremely well, wont right away
and won, by ten or a
din
lengths easily. Green was
second, :and the Rea mg man never stood a shadow of
a chance,

9st 131 b •
As usual with eight-oared matches, this created very
considerable interest, and afforded much gratification.
It was from the start to the finish one of the mostfgallant
races on record. After a few strokes at a rattling pace,
in which they were oar and oar, Christchurch began to
show the nose of their boat in advance. Both crews
continued at an immense pace; but Christchurch could
not, despite their most strenuous efforts, get away. Off
the Poplars both made strong play for it. Christchurch
here got their boat quite clear, and about a foot to
spare, the struggle was continued with great spirit to the
end, when Christchurch won with their own length clear
and about a yard, amidst the acclamations of the spec-
tators.
The band of the 2d Life Guards was in attendance
during the day. It will be seen by the above that the
desire to achieve a victory unfortunately caused several
fouls, which were most unpleasant to all parties engaged
in the races, the desire, of course, being to ascertain, by
the trials of skill and strength, which were entitled to
the laurel.
Mr. Henry Wood, so many years member of the Le-
ander Club, and twice champion of the Thames, kindly
officiated as umpire.
The grand heat for the diamond sculls, 'and the great
eight-oared match between the Oxford University and
the Thames Club wind up the meeting this day.
We aro informed that Mr. Coulthard broke his
stretcher shortly after the start.
The successful competitors in the four first heats of
sculls contended on the fifth and sixth.
SECOND DAY
The great features of yesterday, the concluding day of
the regatta, were the eight-oared race for the Grand
Challenge Cup, and the final heat for the Diamond
Sculls. To these were added the four. oared race for the
Town Challenge Cup, and the deciding heat for the
possession of the Silver Wherry, for amateurs within
twelve miles of Henley. The weather, as on the pre-
vious day, was exceedingly fine, and the concourse of
spectators equally great.
THE SILVER WHERRY.
Grand Heat.
Mr. H. Sergeant, Henley
Mr. E. Besley, Henley
Immediately after the start, Besley broke a thoul.
Sergeant took the lead, and kept it by four or fire
lengths.

THE DIAMOND SCULLS.
Grand Heat.

Mr. W. L. Bagshawe, Trinity College, Cambridge 1
Mr. Wilberforce, University Boat Club, Oxford
Mr. Bagshawe, a very young man, has already
achieved wonders. He was the stroke in the Eton boat
against Westminster last season, and since his removal
to Cambridge has signalised himself by winning the
sculls there, and is the stroke oar of the third Trinity,
at the head of the river. He has of late been under the
training of Robert Coombes, the champion of the
Thames.

The race was good throughout. They started very
evenly, Wilberforce on the Bucks side, which he kept
until near Poplar Point, Although on different sides
of the river, they were scull and scull for upwards of
half the course, amidst the cheers of the spectators.
Opposite Poplar Point Mr. Bagshawe shot right in ad-
vance, and won by fire or six lengths.

THE TOWN CHALLENGE CUP.
Dreadnought Cutter Club, Henley (the holders) 1
Messrs. A. Ive, P. Tagg, R. Othwaite, and J
Page (stroke); T. S. Johnson, steerer.
The Aquatic Club, Henley 0
Messrs. H. Sergeant, G. Lang, T. Watts, G
Avery (stroke); J. Polejoy, steerer.
The Dreadnought took the lead, and won by seven or
eight lengths.
THE GRAND CHALLENGE CUP.
But for this great race the meeting woald have been
insignificant indeed, there having been, from some unac-
countable reason, no entries for the four-oared prizes.
It excited the most intense interest. The Thames Club
(London) were the holders last season, but were beaten
by the University of Oxford crew. Mr. Walmsley, the
present champion of the Thames ; Mr. Chapman, twice
or thrice its champion, and others who had many a time
and oft distinguished themselves, were arrayed against
the Oxonians. Both had gone over the course, having
been two days at Henley. The ime the Qmonian took,
against some wind, was 8 min. s,sec. ; and the Thames,
on Thursday night, in a dead calm, computed their time
in 7 min. and 55 sec. There was a good deal of money
laid out at even.

The race disappointed the expectations of many. It
was all ono way, and although there were some trifling
circumstances to be urged on the part of the losers, the
general opinion of disinterested men was, that good fresh
men are better than good stale ones, and that mines the
"little things," the Thames could not, under any circum-
stances, have stood the shadow of a chance. At the
starting; place it blew quite a gale, and instead of the
Thames crew taking the Bucks shore, which screened
them from the wind, they selected the other, although
they had the choice. From a moment or two after the
start the Oxonians began to lead, and gradually improved
their advantage throughout. The conflict was fierce for
some time, and the Thames men exhibited their acctui-
tamed courage, but their opponents were too good for
them, and, before their arrival at Reminham, had gone
clear. The Thames made a last effort, but it was use-
less, and their opponents won without the slightest ap-
parent fatigue, by 20 seconds, rowing the distance against
a dead noser in 9 minutes 11 seconds. Mr. Bruce, who
had broken a piece off the top of his stretcher at the mo-
ment of starting, was taken out of the boat in a very dis-
tressed state.
A little race amongst the watermen who rowed the
umpire, and a four-oared scratch, wound up the regatta,
which, upen the whole, was superior to last year's.
THE ILEX CLUB.
The Ilex Club on Thursday evening rowed their
" scratch" match for silver oars and rudder. The dis-
tance was from Putney Bridge to Chiswick Eyot.
Messrs. Foot, Pickthell, Waugh, Ede, Lewis (bl. & r.) 1
Messrs. Burrows,Skelton,Tatham, Earls,Ayimer (w.) 2
Messrs. Harney, Richter,Crocker, Iles, Silklyn (blue.) 0
Black and red, opposite Searle's took the lead fol.
lowed by white, leaving blue some boats' length behind.
After a gallantly contested race, black and red won
easily.
