DOGGET7'S COAT AND BADGE.

The followiag appeared is mar Latest Edition of yesterday
vrentng:—

Tho following were the competitors —watermen whose
term of apprenticeship has expired since tho draw for the
race of last year :
William Edward Johnson, Westminster.
Isaiah Taylor, Wapping.
George Wright, East-lane, Bermondsey.
George Richard Dewar, Rotherhithe.
Henry James Kent, Fountain Stairs, Bermondsey.
Samuel Richard Bayley, Cherry-gardens, Rotherhithe.
The course was from the Swan at London-bridge to the
Swan at Chelsea. To the original bequest of Mr. Thomas
Doggett, comedian, is added £4 17s. 9d. for the second man,
and £2 18s. 9d. for the third—interest on stock left by
Sir William Joliffe—and a guinea for the first man besides
the livery and badgo. A guinea and a half for the fourth
man, and a guinea each for the fifth and sixth men, pro-
vided they row the entire distance.

The race is always one of the most attractive of the
season, thousands assembling on the tiers of crafts, the
bridges, the banks, and the water throughout the entire
course, and there was no deficency of the usual numbers
to-day.

The start took place about half-past three o'clock by
pistol shot. Bayley drew to the front, followed by John-
son and Taylor ; in a few strokes Dewar had deprived
Bayley of the lead, and then Kent and Wright came up
and formed a level front rank to Blackfriars, where
Wright drew ahead, Kent second, and those two
rapidly left the others astern, and rowed a
splendid race the whole of the distance—Wright winning
by two lengths ; Kent's chance was put out by the Edward
tug, which nearly swamped him at Westminster; Kent
second, Taylor third, Dewar fourth, and Johnson last.
