Mr. A. Robarts, and Mr. Eykyn, as well as the liberali
of the subscriptions, which aff.rded no less than 24 silver
cuss to be contested for. The day throughout was remark•
abl; fine, and the sports, which commenced at noon, did not
terminate until between 8 and 9 o'clock is the evening. A
band of music was statiosed on the firework eyot, near
to which the committee's barge was moored, which Was
freighted with elegantly-dressed ladies, and the intake and
wharfs were thronged with spectators, whilst the river
teemed with craft of almost every description. Numerous
flags of all sorts of devices and colours were floating itt
various directions, which gave a gay and lively aspect to the
scene. The course was from Clewcr Point to Windsor
Bridge, and the regulations were well carried out under the
able direction of Mr. Penniston Dung, the honorary secre-
