CES/REWITCH AND CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES.—
YOUATT WM. GRAY'e advice for the above events is
now ready. Lance for the Portland Stakes, 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 pricy will be lost.
Terms : —To the Cambridgeshire, 7s. 6d. ; one wick,
sq. ; single race, 2s. 6d. ; to the end of the season, 10s.
6d.—Address, 15, Charing•cross.

AQUATICS.

THAMES SUBSCRIPTION CLUB.

This aquatic reunion is rapidly progressing in popular
favour and the number of its members. The monthly
dinners and meetings are held at the Freemasons' Ta-
vern, Lincoln's inn•fields ; and at the last one several
new members were added to the list. It is no doubt al-
ready fresh in the minds of our aquatic readers that the
club was formed upon the principle of the Royal Thames
Yacht Club, house dinners preceding the meetings, and
was instituted for the purpose either of giving prizes
among its own members, lending a helping hand to poor
and deserving watermen, or presenting prizes to other
regattas. Accordingly following out the last of these,
the members gave a coat, badge, and freedom to be
rowed for at the late Royal Thames National Regatta ;
and at the above meeting G. Hammerton, the successful
competitor, who is serving his apprenticeship under Jem
Messenger, the champion of the Thames. at Tsddington
submitted his prize to the inspection of the members,
who congratulated him on being the fortunate possessor,
and he was dismissed with several marks of their appro-
val of his plucky conduct, skill, and respectful behaviour
on all occasions.
