AQUATICS.

THE PARIS REGATTA.

This annual regatta for rowing matches, given by the
Paris Regatta Society, came off on the Seine, at St. Cloud,
on the sth inst.

Owing to the great development that has taken place
here in rowing during the last few years, this regatta is con-
sidered quite an event. The best crews from Rouen, Havre,
Nantes, and other places, generally come to dispute the
honours of the day against the Parisians; but this year
quite an unexpected circumstance occurred, which has pro-
duced a sensation that will not be easily forgotten by the
French people. An English crew, composed of Thos. White,
of Bermondsey, Geo. Driver, of Wandsworth, Robert Bain,
of Lambeth, and George Drewitt, of Chelsea, who availed
themselves of the offer made by Mr. John Arthur, an Eng •
lish gentleman living in Paris, and well known as
great promoter of aquatic sports. The prizes
offered were for sculls, pairs, fours, and six-oared
boats, open to all. Nothing was known until
the previous day that an English crew were going to
row ; however, the French crews, who know pretty well
what English oarsmen can do, soon felt uneasy ; but
many, on seeing our men row before the race, began to re-
gain a little confidence, I presume, from their not exactly
. understanding the real English stroke, for although they
said they appeared to row well, still it was according tQ
their idea not quite the thing; in fact, they said the men
looked strong, even John Bullish, but that they wanted
" elan," or fire and energy, such as they had, but what
we in England should call action or gesticulation.
Some few over - ardent admirers of theirs went so
far as to back their energetic or fiery
friends, feeling
convinced that they would crush their English opponentsefol-
lowing
as they would their Arab or Austrian rivals, but th
account of the day's sport will give an idea how
things went.

first prizes. Then followed the pair-oared race, eight boats
started. The two English pairs came in first, pulled by
Thomas White, George Drewitt, Robert Bain, and George
Driver; a very good race, the Frenchmen gradually falling
off astern, after half the course was over. Immediately
after the pair the above four were off for the four-
oared race, and they had to pull against fresh crews.
This race was the hardest of the day. A very plucky French
crew hung on to the English four, and it was not till the
race was two-thirds over that the British pluck showed its
superiority, their opponents falling into the background.
After these successive defeats there was some delay in
bringing on the six-oared race, owing to the French
crews trying to pick the six best men out of their whole
numbers in order to defeat the English, who, they began
to hope, by this time were getting used up ; but at
last three boats got in line—the English four, to
complete the number of six, were joined by Messrs.
Frederick Lowe and John Arthur. Just as the
boats were going to start, the news arrived of a great vic-
tory over the Austrians-7,000 prisoners, 15,000 killed
and wounded, &c.—which was received with immense
enthusiasm and shouting, many people crying out to the
rowers, Now, then, beat the English ;" " Yhre la France,"
&c. Off went the gun, away went the English, gradually
increasing their distance a-head of the others, when, alas !
the floating blade of an . oar placed itself right
across the bow of the boat, ploughing up the water
awfully, and, strange to say, although bow attempted
to remove it with his oar, it stuck on. This mishap soocns
caused the boats behind to creep up, but a tremendous
spurt enadu
