successful. A week in Berkshire is at this season far ii-uta
unpleasant, but when the week can be divided between two
interesting fixtures it is a great advantage, and the "powers
that be" will have no occasion to lament the change. Visi-
tors to Abingdon, of course, decided without hesitation to
patronise Reading, and on Wednesday evening the town
presented a busy appearance, the influx of racing men being
numerous. There was also a goodlyehrrival of horses.
Early yesterday morning the business commenced, and by
six o'clock a complete array of tents was visible. The
improvements made on the ground were generally ap-
proved, and tho ground was in capital going order.
The King's Meadow is always extensively patronised by
the people living in the immediate vicinity, but this year
there was a slight falling off in point of attendance, which
may bo accounted for by the fact that many who would
otherwise have participated in the sport were engaged in
haymaking. The racing was decidedly good, and the fields
pretty numerous, as the following details will show :
The KING'S MEADOW STAKES (Handicap) of 5 soya each,
with 30 added ; winners extra. One mile. 8 subs.

Betting-5 to 4on Troublesome, 2to 1 agst Hidalgo, and

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £loo.—The boat race
between John Augustino Caffin, a waterman, of the Old
Swan, London Bridge, and Benjamin Edwards, a waterman
of the Tower, took place yesterday from Putney to Mortlake
for X5O aside in old-fashioned boats. They have both earned
some notoriety by their performances at the sculls in old-
fashioned boats, Caffin having, as an apprentice, Beaten
Burr, Shepherd of Chelsea, Tom King, ex-champion of the
P.R., and several other good men, besides having but lately
defeated George Kippen, of Lambeth, in outriggers. He
has also performed to advantage at the oar, Edwards has
figured decently in some below Bridge races, his only
above bridge performance being an easy defeat of Russell
of Rotberhithe, who was backed at good odds against him.
Both are big men, Caffin weighing between 12 and 13 stone,
and Edwards rather under 12 stone. Two steam boats
accompanied the race, with large parties on board, and
betting was brisk at 2 to 1 on Caffin, who lost the choice
of stations. Mr. John Ireland was referee, Henry Kelley,
the champion, piloted Edwards, and Robert Bain looked
after .Caffin. The race turned out as hollow as it could
well have done, for after a good start Caffin went quickly
to the front, led by two lengths at the Star and Garter, by
four at the Point, and won all the way in the easiest man-
ner possible.. Both were in good condition, Caffin having
been under the care of Mr. Henry Salter, of WandAvorth,
and Edwards at the Bells, at Putney, the hotel of the
champion. _

ROWING MATCII.—A sculler's match between
Neale and Sullivan, for £lO a-side, distance from Putney to
Mortlake, came off yesterday morning. They got a very
even start, but Neale soon began to draw away ; at Finch's
Field he had drawn his length clear, at Craven Cottage was
two lengths ahead, eventually winning, after a good race,
by about three lengths.
ALARMING ACCIDENT TO FIVE YOUNG LADIES
WHILE BATHING.—On Tuesday evening five young ladies
from Leeds went out to bathe at Morecambe, when their
van, getting into deep channel, became filled with water,
and the young ladies, but for the timely assistance of somo
young gentlemen who had heard their screams, would
have been drowned. Three of them lost their satchels,
containing their purses, railway tickets, and other articles,
and had to return home pennilees.—Munaeger Courier.
