the rear being brought up by Lysander and Slender as they
passed the enclosure. Rounding the turn, Dulcimer headed
Farce, who quickly gave way to Arkansas and Retrousse,
and the rest were widely scattered as they ran along the fax
side, where Lysander and Slender became tailed off. Near-
ing the T.Y.C. post, Dulcimer held a clear lead of Retrousse%
and about half-a-dozen lengths off Arkansas lay third,
with Monitress some dozen lengths behind. When fairly
in the line for home, Dulcimer gave way to Retrousse, and
at the distance she was dead beaten, and was headed by
Arkansas, but the latter could not reachßetrousse, who won
in a canter by a length. Monitress ran through at the finish
and got within two lengths of the second, Dulcimer being
a head behind her. Contract and Farce pulled up a few
yardi from the post and did not pass the judge, and the
other two were stopped in the straight.

AQUATICS.

METROPOLITAN AMATEUR REGATTA.

One of the greatest regattas ever produced, perhaps, on
the Thames was that held yesterday over the course be-
tween Putney and Hammersmith. It owes its origin to
the success attending the Metropolitan Clubs Regatta last
year over the same course. The competition in that, how-
ever, was confined to clubs between Teddington and
Greenwich, while on this occasion the competition was in
a very proper and handsome manner thrown open to the
world. Great as regards entries for the advanced season
of the year, great by reason of the funds collected to carry
it out, amounting to something like £l,OOO, and great in
its numerous patrons, amongst whom will be found the
names of the Right Hon. Lord Mayor, Alderman and
Sheriff Gibbons, Alderman Bosley, and others of equal
note, there can be no doubt that with proper financial sup-
port the first of a series of amateur regattas, second to
none in the world, has been produced. Necessity com-
pelled delay this year, as the arduous task of beginning
the work and starting it on a sure basis had to be accom-
plished ; next year the committee intend to hold it a couple
of months earlier, and then, near Henley Regatta time, we
shall probably have two or three days racing on one of
tho straightest and best reaches on the Thames. The
pride taken by the London amateurs in getting up this
',regatta may be 'gathered from the fact that Mr. Hubert
Playford of the London Rowing Club by his own.exertions
collected a sum of £433 towards the purchase of the
chal-
lenge and presentation cups, the remainder beinggac bered
in
from the public purse by equally zealous gentleman
other
