Three well contested heats.

AQUATICS,
THE CUSTOM-HOUSE (EAST STAIRS) REGATTA.
The respectable watermen belonging to these stairs,
yesterday contended for a new boat and other prizes,
subscribed for by the gentry and inhabitants residing in
the vicinity. The quay was thronged with spectators,
the river was crowded with boats, and on no occasion of
a similar nature, do we ever remember to have seen so
much excitement as there was upon this. The distance
was twice round the Eel•chain and the Buoy, abreast of
St. Katherine Dock entrance, to the prize boat, off the
stairs.
First heat—George Andrews (scarlet), 1; Isaac Con-
norton (dark blue), 2; George Bartlett (pink), 3. Scar-
let took the lead, kept it throughout, and won by a boat's
length.
Second heat—William Andrews (yellow), 1; William
Knight (light blue),:2; Christopher Brock well (green), 3.
Light Blue took the lead, but was passed by Yellow op-
posite the Tower, who won with some difficulty. It was
a very closely contested heat.
Third heat—This heat was contended for by the
second and third men in the first and second heats: Wil-
liam Knight (light blue), 1; Christopher Brockwell
, (green), 2; Isaac Connorton (dark blue), 3; George
Bartlett (pink), 4. In this heat, which was a spiritedly
rowed one, Light Blue took the lead, but was passed by
Green cff the Custom-house, in the first round. Dark
Blue then passed them both, but slipped off his thwart,
and was again headed by Light Blue, who won after a
must severe struggle.
Fourth heat—The first man in each of the previous
heats then contended for this—the grand heat: William
Andrews (yellow), 1; George Andrews (scarlet), 2;
William Knight (light blue), 3. The winner did as he
pleased, and won easily.
