GRAND AQUATIC spoRTS ON THE

THAMES.

Yesterday was a day set p irt, seemingly, for the Tort rs
of aquatic sports. The match having come off between
fi ,rris, of Bankside, and Shall of Lambeth, for 20/.
aside, to row from Westminster-bridge to Putney, the
former winning by a considerable distance. The next in
attraction was the annual above-bride sailing match, for
a superb cup and cover, given by the Royal Thames Yacht
Club. The terms were—to sail from Blackfriars-bridge
round a boat moored off Wandaworth Meadows, back again
to We.tminster-bridge. The following boats, belonging to
members of the Club, were started by the Commo lore :
icstris, 8 tons, J. Weston, Esq.—red with a yellow cross.
Nymph, 8 tons, T. Smith, Esq.—red over blue
. .

Mali, 4 tons, Hon. Colonel De Roos—green.
Lady Emma, 8 tons, R. C. Bucknall, Esq.—black with red cross.
Margaret, 7 tons, R. Holiday, Esq.—white with red border.
Water Witch, 8 tons, R. Unwin, Esq.—white with red cross.
Fortitude, 8 tons, A. T. Harwood, Esq.—white with red star.
The nex', and not less interesting match, was for Chand-
ler's Third Annual Prize Wherry, which had been post-
otied to this day, owing to the unfavourable state of the
.veather on the former occasion when the m itch Will to
have taken place. The terms of this match were—to row
from buoys moored off the Ship Tavern, M,llbank, round
boat teationed off the S read Eagle, down the Middlesex
chore, to a boat moored off Hung,-rford, and hark again to
the Ship. Three bests, by sixteen pair of sculls, one above
ind one below-bridge man in each boar. The first and
second beats in the diet and second heats to start in the
.bird and grand heat.

While ,i;ver•=ion and hilarity were so congenial to the in.
clinatiuns of the water-parties above htidge, the below
bridge aindleurs were not a jot the less merry in the en.
biyment of aquatic amusem• nt, there being two r.teattat
to be decided—one for the S'. Olave's Prizc Wherry, cot.
ended for by six pair of sculls ; and the Dog and D vl.
Regatta. at Dvt'ord, for a new Wherry, and other poises.
To individuanz,! each particular scene of contenti n and
festivity is more than our I.tcom,ltive powers or brief space
vill admit ot. Suffice it to say, that above bridge deem um
ind general good order prevailed. The sailing match
.seined to attract the most nurn.rous of the different
parties; and a better display of nati,ical skill than on this
wcasion was never witnessed. At the appointed time the
usual signal was given by the Commodore of the Club, and
•he beats elided at first gently, yet majestically, tip the
" silver rrrearn" amidst general admiration. T,e Lady
Emma took the iead, pressed by the Fortitude; hut by a
little artifice the Vestris soim headed her nppunent., and
,naintsined her adv.intage during the whole of tea con-
test. The boats came in in the billowing order : Veatris
-lust, which received the cup and cover; Lady Emma
econd, and the W.ter Witch third. The other ba s
vere a considerable distance behind. Chandl-r's match
vas not decided before eight o'clock; the Winners being
R. Mann and W Ashdown, bath of Blackfriars. Altogether
this was one of the finest treats old Father Tnaaus could
.fford.

Lord LYNDHURST'S political movements on
,he circuit have been productive of great inconvenience ai,d
-zpense to suitors, by
having occasioned de/ay in the .d-
-ministration of justice. One cue at Huntingdon has been
wide a remanet in consequence.— Town.
