A GENEVESE TRAVELLER.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
Sir Tatton Sykes, who at first showed unfavourable
symptoms, came strongly into favour as the afternoon ad-
vanced, and, although nominally at the same price as The
Traverser, left off the better favourite. The Traverser was
backed in two or three places at 6 to 1, and lago, Fancy
Boy, Grimston, and Brocardo at 9 and 1U to 1, leaving ofo:
steady at the odds quoted. Pyrrhus the First and Mov.nt
Callan were declared not to start; and such liberal odds were
laid against Dolo that we may fairly look upon him as out
of the race. The field appears likely to bt a small one.
We give the last quotations :

AQUATICS.
DEPTFORD REGATTA.
The boat race at Deptford yesterday possessed a feature of
novelty, affording " those of the olden time" an opportunity
of exhibiting, to the exclusion of the watermen of a modern
date. The race was, as usual with below-bridge wagers, in
five heats, with six competitors, and the assemblage immense.
The multitude of all grades, who had heard the " old ones"
talk of their training, condition, lasting powers, and other
requisites, flocking to the locus in quo to ascertain whether the
combatants were half as good as they affected to be, or
whether the " light of other days had faded." There was,
however, but little fault to find, the race being quite as well
contested as could reasonably have been expected, and afford-
ing considerably more amusement than wagers amongst those
with youth in their favour generally do.
First Heat. Upper Watergate.
Jeremiah Johnson, aged 62 (Dark blue 1.
James Wall, aged 56 (Light blue 2
Archibald Fowles, aged 57 years
The distance was from Upper Watergate, twice round,
each extending the whole river front of the town, from the
creek's mouth to the Queen's Yard.
It was a very good start, and for a few strokes the
" ancients" certainly must have laboured under the iinßes•
sion that they were " Coombeses," and no abatement; but
they soon, found out their mistake, and dropped into a very
sober pace. Dark blue then took the lead, kept it, and won
by two lengths.
Second heat. Lower Watergate.
