A Q UATICS.

SCULLEItS' RACE Fon £lO5.—A very fine scullers' race,
although unfortunately endin in a foul, came off yester-
day, for £5O a-side, between George Drewitt, a landsman,
of Chelsea, and Benjamin Oxlade, a waterman, of Paul's
Wharf. A Citizen steamboat accompanied, being filled
with spectators, among whom betting was pretty level. Mr
Charles Newnham was referee, and all the preliminaries
arranged, the men got to their stations, Oxlade winning the
toss, and taking the Middlesex side. The wind blowing
hard at the time towards Fulham, made nearly all the la-
bour on the right hand. Oxlade had the lead at the start-
ing, but was breasted by his man in 200 yards, and then
Drewitt nearly cleared him, in which position, rowing very
hard, they continued for some time, when Oxlads in turn
led by nearly all his boat's length. Towards the Crab
Tree it became apparent his right arm was getting weak—
his boat went towards Drewitt's—but two or (three times
got right again. When nearly opposite the Crab Tree, the
nose of Oxlade 's boat came across Drewitt's sculls. Al-
though the men went on again, and again fouled, the race
was virtually over, and Drewitt being in his own water, and
having his boat straight whoa Oxlade fouled him, Mr.
Newnham gave his decision in favour of Drewitt.
SCULLERS' RACE FOR TEN POUNDS.—A very exciting
scullers' race for the above amount (£5 a-side) was rowed
yesterday afternoon between Henry Williams, of Chelsea,
and Frederick Thompson, of Fulham. The distance was
from Battersea-bridge to Putney-bridge. Williams was
the favourite, and won the toss for choice of station, taking
the Middlesex side. A capital start was effected, and they
were scull and scull for 200 yards, when Williams began to
draw his boat away, and opposite the White Hart he was
' nearly a clear length in advance of his opponent. The pace
was exceedingly good ; but Williams continued to load,
and maintained the lead throughout, closely pressed by his
opponent, who was only defeated by three lengths at the
finish, he having rowed a game stern wager the best part
of the distance.

To KILL RATS AND MICE.--Take lozenges, ear-
ziway comfits, peppermint drops, Or any other of the opaque
sweetmeats commonly sold in the shops. Mix with meal,
and place in the way of rats and mice. The sweetmeats
consist chiefly of "dab," or plaster of Paris, which, being
swallowed by the vermin, together with the meal, will form
concretions in their inside and kill them.—Punch's
Almanac.

ing Food is equally adapted to improve the stamina of ill-
conditioned Horses, Cows, Bullocks, Calves, Sheep, and
Pigs. It causes no extra expense, as it contains far more
and better nourishment than its cost of lid. per feed sup-
plies in corn and hay; hence ensures an actual saving in
the keep. But its principal advantages are a great im-
provement in the digestive functions, the stamina and
general condition of horses enabling them to perform far
more labour without getting distressed. It imparts new
vigour to sick, debilitated, or old apparently worn-out
horses, and it puts rapidly the finest flesh on cattle gene-
rally, and improves the milk in cows, as it enables them to
extract the entire nourishment out of everything they feed
on. Rarey and Co., 77, Regent's Quadr int, Piccadilly,
