Admiral
.Far:k2ut at Shoeburyness.

On Monday Admiral Farmgut, accompanied by
Captain Pennoch, Captain Leroy, Lieutenant-Com-
mander T. Crittenden Watson, Dr. Foltz, &c., of
the United States Navy, escorted by Vice- Admiral
Sir Baldwin Wake Walker, Captain Donald Mac-
kenzie, and Lieutenant Lowther, R.N., paid a visit
to Shoeburyness. The distinguished party were re-
ceived on landing by Colonel Fisher, Major Curtis,
Captain Alderson, &c., and were conducted over
the grounds at Shoeburyness, Captain Alderson
pointing out to the gallant American the effects of
the Din. rifled English and the 15in. smooth-bore
guns against the 81b. Warrior targets, and rhowed
them the various other targets constructed and
in course of construction. The Admiral ex-
pressed his opinion that the 15in. gan should
never be fired with a charge of over 601 b. of
powder. They were also showed the Museum and
the 600-pounder rifles gun, with its turntable, &c.,
complete, and witnessed some excellent practice
with the Din. rifled gun at targets somewhat over
the mile from the battery. They also saw some of
Hales's war rockets fired, and were afterwards
entertained by the officers of the Royal Artillery at
an elegant luncheeu. Among the officers present,
besides those already mentioned, we noticed Capt.
G. A. Wilkinson, Capt. J. T. Danbery, Lieut.
Drysdale, Lieut. A. B. Brown, Lieut. J. T. Tat-
ham, Capt. W. Carey, Capt. Van Straubenzee,
Capt. Macintyre, &c. After luncheon they left the
old battery landing-place for the Admiral's flagship
Franklin, lying in the offing, the tide not allowing
of a prolonged visit. The weather was fine, and
the whole party seemed well pleased with their re-
ception.

The journey down held out but poor prospect for those
who intended being present at the races to-day, for the
rain descended in torrents until Cheltenham was reached.
Tho weather then cleared, but only for a shoat time, for it
again descended heavily at Gloucester, and continued until
just before the first race, when it cleared off, and the re-
mainder of the afternoon was passed more comfortably
than the morning promised. The attendance, as might
hare been expected under the circumstances, was but '
moderate. The opening event, the Handicap, Hurdle-
race, brought out only three of the fourteen coloured on
the card, and produced a fine race, the favourite being
beaten at the last by Tottio by a head. A Plato of 40
sous. wns set next, but did not produce a race. Queen of
Trumps with Grimshaw in the saddle, and the nice price
of 4 to 1 against her, managed to polish off her five anta-
gonists by a length. The Cleovo Hill Plate produced but
four runners, and was won by Alberta. Lord Palmerston
having beaten Catton, Bunsen, and two others in the
Hamilton Plate, the sports wore closed by Miss Dobson
winning the Cotswold Hunters' Stakes, for which 12
started. The following is a return of the sport:—

Colonel retiring beaten. A fine race home took place be-
tween Tottie and Colonso, who could never quite get up,
Tottie winning by a neck; The Colonel was a bad third.

Trumps, for half a mile, when Arabia dropped away.
Little alteration occurred until half a mile from the finish,
when Steamboat resigned the lead to Queen of 'Et-amps,
Arabia at the same time coming again, but could not reach
the Queen, who came away from the distance and won by
a length ; Bandmaster was a bad third ; Madame Wright
was fourth, a head only from the third; Steamboat was
fifth ; and Elegance last.

SCULLERS' MATCH FOR £2OO.

The last but one great scullers' race of the present sea-
son came off on Tuesday, between George Hammorton, of
Teddington, one of her Majesty's watermen, and George
Drewitt, of Chelsea, a landsman, from Putney to Hammer-
smith, for £lOO a side. Although they aro comparatively
young men, being about 30 years of ago, their day may be
said to have gone by as scullers, for Drewitt has sadly do-
tet:orated of late, and Hammorton two or three years ago
so injured one of his arms that he had to give up row :ng at
sculls, and the essay of yesterday was his first as a sceller
for many years. A great amount of rivalry has far yoara
4xisted between certain of the rowing men in our groat
schools of sculling, and that rivalry has b3on greater than
ever since the much-lamented di fferenc3 first arose between
Sadler and Kelley respecting the race for the championship
between the former and Chambers, and which has culmi-
nated in their being matched to row for £3OO aside, from
Putney to Mel :,lake, on Nov. 26 ; and to these groat oppo-
sitions belong Drew itt and Hammorton, the former belong-
ing to the Kelley and 13.-.rnes division, and the latter to the
up-country and Sad'er division. The fact of their having
rowed five or six years ago, when Hammel ton proved the
winner, invested the race with more than ordinary interest,
and, despite the counter-attractions of Ludgate-h'll St ation
and Bow-street Police-office, arising from the projected
' fight, there was a good number of old iiver-siders at Put-
ney as the how: approached for the race.
The Lotus (Cap'. Mansfield) accompanied the race with
a large party. The betting was 2 and 3 to lon Hammer-
ton, who won the choice of shtior, and chose the north
side. He weighed 10 stone, whi'e D-ow itt was scarcely
anything heavier. Mr. W. W"ber:orce was referee ; Mr.
James Messenger, an old champion, umpire for Hammer-
ton ; and Mr. Willcox, of the White Hart, Barnes, for
Drewitt; Henry Kelley showed the latter up, while from
the bow of another eight Joe Sadler piloted the up country-
man. Some barges lay direct on the usual course, and the
mon had to be brought out towards the centre of the liver.
Hammerton was smartest in getting away, and, rowing a
more lively stroke than his opponent, drew one-thiA of his
length ahead at the Star and Garter, where they both
steered hard over towards the Middlesex side of the river,
Drewitt unmistakeably boring his man, so much so that
nearly opposite the Duke's Head their sculls overlapped,
and continued to do so till off Simmonds's, where Hammer-
ton slightly lead, and they fouled badly. Hammeri,on
was first clear, and rowed in front the rest of the way,
coming in four lengths ahead in lOrain. ssoc. The stakes
wore awarded to Hammorton on the foul.

711 E CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE PRIZE

RING.

ARREST OF MACE.

For the third time the purchasers of three-guinea
tickets to witners a promised "fight for the cham-
pion's belt and £400" have been " sold," and Mr.
Jem Mace, who has figured so prominently in
breakdown matches, is in custc ly. Whether this
is the result of a preconcet ted movement on the part
of Mace's partisans after filling their pockets by the
sale of tickets, or whether O'Baldwin's backers
bagel to lose faith at the last moment, and informed
the detectives of Mace's whereabouts, is a matter
best known to themselves ; but certainly the whole
business, as often before, savour strongly of what
those gentry term a " barney," which means nothing
more nor less than a swindle. Still, it is difficult
to believe that Mace suffered himself t) be arrested
for the sake of impat Ling a genuine aspect to the
proceedings, and that the de?perate resistance he
and his two cousins offered was a ruse to do away
with suspicion; the assumption is that the result was
brought about by the machinations of O'Baldwin's
backers, and that for once at least Mace may be
considered an unfortunate man, so far as the arrest
is concerned.

If any credence can be given to the oft-repeated
asseverations of " Bos Tyler," the man who has
had the training of Mace, he and hrs friends had '
backed their mau to the tune of £3OO, and
were consequently anx.ous for the fight and an issue
in favour of Mace. He, therefore, knowing that an
attempt would be made to arrest either or both of
the belligerents ff they showed in London, resorted
to the device of sending them down the l'ne the
night before the fight. Mace was lodged in a house
close to the Herne Hill Railway Station, where it
was the intention to pick him up by the special as it
passed on its way to the po'ut of destination. Some-
how or other, however, the whereabouts of Mace
became known to the police authorities, and four
officers were despatched to arrest him. The " tip"
obtained, in the shape of the purchase of a three-
guinea ticket, was to the effect, "Be at the Lud-
gate-hill station at four o'clock." This was supposed
to be a piece of information confined wholly and
solely to the holders of those tickets, and from the
inability of the roughs to make the necessary pur-
chase they would be excluded from intermingling
with the more select portion of the company. The
avowed object, however, was most effectually frus-
trated, for upon no previous occasion has the rough
element prevailed in such force ; and but for the
