THE BRIGHTON HARRIERS.—This favourite pack of
harriers, which has for so many years afforded such ex•
cellent sport to our visitors and the residents of the town
and neighbourhood, commences the season on the Bth
inst., the first meet being, as usual, at the racecourse.
We are gratified to learn that hares are plentiful in all
parts of the Brighton hunt country, and there is every
prospect of a most successful season. There is no doubt
that the harriers cause many gentlemen to make Brigh-
ton their winter residence, who otherwise would, with
their families, reside elsewhere ; and we therefore hope
that the committee will be met in a liberal spirit by the
tradesmen of the town.—Brighton Gazette.

CESAREIVITCH AND CAMBRIDGESHIRE STASES.—
YOUATT WM. GRAY'S advice for the above events is
now ready. Lance for the Portland Stake•, at Doncas-
ter, and eleven other winners is something extraordinary,
but the advice on the above races will astonish all, as
1,000 to 1 can be obtained about the double event. I
am positive one, if both, does not come of. Recollect, I
named Mr. Sykes and Crown Pigeon last year (first and
second). Apply early, or the long price will be lost.
Terms : —To the Cambridgeshire, 78. 6d. ; one week,
ss. ; single race, 2s. 6d. ; to the end of the season, 10s.
6d.—Address, 15, Charing-cross.

AQUATICS.

SAILING MATCH WITH SKIFFS.

A very good and exciting match took place on Tues-
day, between the renowned Quickstep, belonging to Mr.
Rowe, of Greenwich, 3 tons, and Mr. Pearce's Hiram,
4 tons. The race was for 251. a•side, and was attended
by a large number of persons, the distance being from
Coal House Point to Woolwich, and back to Gravesend.
What betting there was was level; as it was thought,
and very wisely,
that what the Quickstep gained in
tacking up she would lose in running down, and this
conjecture was not far from right. They started about
11 o'clock, the wind being W.N.W., therefore causing
them to make a fresh board every few minutes ; and this
being just the thing for the Quickstep, she went away
with the lead, and gradually increased the distance be-
tween herself and her opponent, so that by the time she
rounded at Greenwich she was first by 18 or 19 minutes.
After they had turned, however, the wind being fair
right away down, the Hiram began to mend her posi-
tion and the race became very exciting. The Quick-
step, however, regained her lead, although the other
came very near her, and won the race by fia minutes.
Both boats were handled in a most excellent manner,
and their sailing captains deserve credit.

GREENWICH WATERMEN'S ANNUAL SKIFF

MATC H.

The annual match among sailing skiffs, belonging to
free watermen at Greenwch came off yesterday, under
the able management of Commodore Samuel Weeks,
800. The race was for three suits of sails and a pair of
sculls, and was under the patronage of Mr. Montagu
Chambers and Mr. Peter Role, the members for the bo-
rough ; but it was unfortunately spoilt, owing to there
being so little wind. The following were the results :
