THAMES GRAND REGATTA.

SECOND DAY.
Many heavy engagements depended npoll the issue of yes-
terday's races; there were no less than twelve ;upon the list,
and of the number eight were first rate. It wag the grand
day, or one of them; for so brilliant were the ehtt 'iee that it
,he not
would have been impossible, had the committee at m
enanage-
ment wished it—and their desire has invariably
only to arrange the sport so as to afford each reN 'valve
crew or individual member a fair chance of =CCM, but
to afford as much gratification as possible to the public —to
have dished up less than two great aquatic banquets. Of
these, however, we must give precedence in weight to tbAt of

_
yesterday.
Upon a moderate calculation, there were at least 50,000
persons present. The Bishop of London had Oren Permis--
sion for respectable persons to enter his extensbre grounds
on the Middlesex side of Putney-bridge. The ttrivinglath
on the Surrey shore along the course, a mile and a half at
least in distance, was almost impassable, whilst the 'name's
was covered with pleasure-boats filled with company, who
partook of the gratification incident to this great rie,tional
pastime.
The Maria Wood state barge was moored a few yaISIS
below the regatta committee boat, and at three o'clock the
Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Sheriffs and civic authori-
ties, took their seats on board of her. Shortly afterwarda
his Highness Ibrahim Pacha and suite arrived, and were-
entertained on board the state barge. The regatta com-
mittee waited upon him with the magnificent prizes for the
various victors, and his Highness expressed his admiration
of them. After witnessing the first three races, he left is
the Lord Mayor's state boat, to join the party given at the
Duke of. Northumberland's, Sion-house. He appeared much
pleased with the rowing, and was received throughout the
aquatic course with loud cheers. The Vice-Chancellor en-
tertained a distinguished party at his seat on the banks of
the Thames at Fulham, and some of the houses were graced
with fashionable company.

Hammersmith crew (pink)

blillbank crew (light blue).
Endeavour crew (black).
It was a splendid race. Green, pink, and blue dashed off
together, green showing fot about ten seconds in slight ad-
vance, and then they fell into as even a line as at the moment
of starting. Blue then made a spirt, and went out in ad-
vance, and off Craven-cottage had cleared their boat of pink
altogether, and gave symptoms also of beginning to shake
green off. Green then put on a fine spirt, and went right
oar and oar into them, and pink following suit, the three
boats all became level again at the Crab-tree, and made, as
it might be termed, a fresh start for the race. The exer-
tion had, however, found out some of their " weak
points;" but pink looked most like those in a condition to
win. They continued oar and oar up to Hammersmith-
bridge, where green got a quarter of a length ahead, and,
notwithstanding the exertions of their opponents, never
lost it.

The first two boats got the lead ahnost immediately after

pass them into the first place.

and oar for some distance; ofl the committee barge red and
green led, yellow giving place to purple ; red and green
maintained the level all the way, but the seamd pair had
their work to do to keep in advance of purple, who came in
close upon their quarter.

the Oxford crew, who took the proper water, passed by them,

luckily.

Robert Newell, Horselydown (red) .., 1
W. Pocock, Lambeth (light blue)
John Phelps, Fulham.
For an instant only they were together. Although the
greatest artistes of the day, they made a very hollow race.
Newell, who defeated Clasper at Newcastle-upon-Tyne 14st
week, went away with the lead, and did as he liked with
them throughout. Pocock, who took the second place at
starting, and kept it throughout, played much such another
game with Phelps, who really rowed very hard throughout.

They all went off at a great pace, the Oxford boat taking
a slight lead at first. The Thames, however, opposite the
committee barge, outstripped them, and took the leading po-
sition, the Cambridge boat being in the centre, about half a
length in the rear, and the whole forming as pretty a picture
as could well be conceived. The Thames retained the lead.
winning by upwards of three lengths.
