Philip J. Chandler, Milbank (Rod and White) r
B. Oxlade, Paul's-wharf. (Black and Yellow) 2
W. Ward, Blackfriars (Red) 0$
W. F. Knox, Blackfriars (Black) 0
A capital start was effected, under the direction of
Mr. Boville, who was rowed up by the Westminsteu
Oxlade took the lead, at a slashing pace, closely killo
by Chandler. Off Messrs. Searle's Oxlade was two
lengths in front, but Chandler's pace was too good for
him, and at the point above Craven College he rowezi
into the first place, and won easily. The two last men
were completely tailed.

SECOND HEAT.
E. F. Gale, Pimlico
H. J. T. Bell, Richmond (Green) 2
R. T. Morton, Lambeth
J. Williams, Waterloo-bridge
Gale went off with the lead, Morton being second,
and Bell third. Off Craven Cottage the latter began trA
draw upon Morton, and they soon became scull and son%d,
when a most beautiful race ensued. Morton got away
again slightly, bat could not keep it, and Bell coming up
a second time passed him like a shot. The first man re-
tained his position from the start.
,GRAND HEAT.
P. J. Chandler (Red and White) I
H. J. T. Bell (Green) 2
B. Oxlade (Yellow and Black) 3
E. F. Gale (Stripe) o
It was a beautiful race. Gale took a slight lead up to
the Star and Garter, where Chandler came up hand-
over-hand level with him. Gale then fouled a barge,
which effectually destroyed his chance. Chandler went
away at a beautiful pace, and, sifter showing admirable
style, won as he liked. Bell and Oxlsde made a mag-
nificent pace, and eventually Bell passed the latter LS the
Crab Tree; but there was hardly two lengths between
them at coming in.

by him in good style off the Star and Garter.. Eroat
