AQUATICS. -

DIEPPE REGATTA.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
The above annual regatta took place on Sunday. The
weather being fine, there was a very large concourse of
spectators. The wind blew very strong from the south-
west, which caused the sea to be very rough. The first
event for decision was a four-oared race, open t) all corners,
which was contended for by two crews from Hastings, one
from Brighton, six from various places of the coast of
France, and Bain's well-known Lambeth crew. The odds
at starting was 5 to 1 on the London boat against the field.
When the respective crews showed at the post, the fine con-
dition and style of rowing of the Londoners excited univer-
sal admiration.

A beautiful start was effected, but they had not got 200
yards, when the Londoners began to shoot ahead, and kept
their advantage to the end, winning easily by nearly a
quarter of a mile. By a stupid blunder on the part of the
parties appointed to carry out the details, the centre buoy
was not placed in position till after the race had commenoed,
which caused the London boat to pass on the wrong side.
The case having been submitted to the stewards, they were
disqualified, and the race was awarded to the second boat.
On reaching the shore the Londoners were loudly cheered
by their own countrymen. Distance 5,000 metres. Time
24 minutes and a half.

The next race was a six -oared one, open to all comers.
There were nine boats entered, but only seven put in an
appearance, namely, one from Brighton, one from Newhaven,
one from Hastings, three French boats, and Bain's crew of
Lambeth. The Londoners were again the favourites at
starting, in fact, it was " what odds will you take" to be
accommodated. The various crews having taken up their
positions, they got away in fine order at the signal, and
they had gone but a very short distance when the superior
rowing of the Londoners again began to show itself. After
the first mile and a quarter the Lambeth crew were fully
300 yards a-head when they were caught by a heavy
sea, which burst a hole in the fore part of the boat.
She immediately afterwards filled, but the crew, with care,
managed to bring her out of deep water, and then swam
ashore. The above untoward event caused great joy to our
brethren on the other side of the Channel, and equal disap-
pointment to the immense number of English spectators
who were present on the occasion. After this unfortunate
occurrence, two spirited English sportsmen challenged the
whole of the French crews to row the Londoners for £lOO
aside, which the Frenchmen accepted, but after a little calm
consideration, our French allies thought they would be
content with the honours they had by accident gained, and
when the Londoners appeared at the post, none the worse
of their immersion in the water, they thought of the well-
known lines—

" He that fights and runs away,
May live to fight another day,"
and so the contest ended. The money is still in the hands
of the French authorities on behalf of the London crew.

GRAND RACE BETWEEN A NORTH AMERICAN
INDIAN AND E. MILLS, FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.—A
race of more than usual interest took place yesterday at the
White Lion grounds, Hackney-wick, in which a Seneca
Indian;calledDeerfoot, from.Catteraugas, contended against
an Englishman named Edward Mills, a well-known runner
in this country. The distance was six miles, for a stake of
£5O, and the champion's belt for that run, and the feet of

being pitted against those of a paleface caused so much
brought over by John Macdonald, who had the guidance
of Heenan when in this country. The Indian is a fine
made man, about five feet eleven inches in height, whilst
his opponent is a pigmy in comparison. Deerfoot was
dressed fantastically, and wore the feathers and skins em-
blematical of his tribe. The betting opened at evens, with
the Indian for choice ; but upon appearing at the starting
place the odds were 6 to 4, 7 to 4, and left off at 2 to 1 on
Mill. As will be seen the race was well contested through-
out. When the signal was given to start the Indian took
the lead, and made all the running in the first mile, at
the termination of which he was four yards in front, and
they alternately led by about the same distance to the
fourth mile, when the Indian put on a good spurt, and
increased his lead to 30 yards, giving his friends, who loudly
cheered him, great hopes, but Mills put the steam on, and
shot past him at the end of the fifth mile, when the Indian
again roused himself up, and kept close to Mills's heels
till 51 miles had been done, when both made tremendous
efforts amidst great excitement, but Mills gradually went

some half-dozen challenges from our best pedestrians a

The counter attraction of partridge shooting somewhat
thinned the attendance of the upper ten thousand, and, in
consequence, few but business men were attracted to the
trysting place this afternoon. Business, hocever, upon the
all-absorbing subject, the St. Leger, assumei a vigorous and
most healthy appearance, which had the effort of removing
in a measure the impression that the result was a foregone

conclusion, several animals having been braight back into
the market that for a time were considered tut of the race,
and this infused new life into the transactims ;, no doubt
some additional movements anent the Leger will exhibit
themselves at Warwick, which will invest that meeting
with its accustomed mystery and excitement. After some
desultory conversation upon the past week's racing, business
upon the St. Leger was commenced in earnest, Kettledrum
appearing from the opening to the close of the room exceed -
ingly firm, so much so that, after several demonstrations to
send him back, his opponents appeared to favour second
thoughts and readily took 7 to 4 in hundred:, at which
price he would have found liberal supporters ; but the
",tattoo" was too strong for the "nerves" of the fielders,
who retired under such a heavy fire, and the highest
offer obtainable at the finish was 6to 4. Imaus also
appeared extremely buoyant, and has evidently recovered
from his reported accident; a liberal commission in-
trusted to a shrewd and experienced operator having exhi-
bited itself in the city was carried out here, and in conse-
quence of the eagerness evinced to " get on" he speedily
advanced I o the position of second favourite, as little as 8 to
1 being noted down about him at the finish. Mr. Goater's
representative, Aurelian, gave unmistakable evidence of his
recent trial and its satisfactory result, from the extreme
eagerness that was exhibited by those in the secret to invest,
the city and the park in the morning having been visited
by anxious inquirers, and at the opening of the room here a
complete ovation was made to get on, at one time as little
as 8 to 1 being the highest offer, but at the close a point
more was offered ; but from the paucity of backers we ima-
gine the furor had somewhat subsided. This strong feel-
ing had somewhat of a prejudicial tendency towards Lady
Ripon and Janus, who did not appear to go so well in the
market, and 9 to I—quite a nominal price—met with no re-
sponse from the northern division about the former, while
12 to 1 went begging about the latter. Kildonan again
receded in favour, his recent victory at Stockton with
Ivanhoff appearing to supply his opponents with additional
confidence, 14 to 1 being currently offered against him. The
Sage was but slightly touched upon at 25 to 1, and The Roe
at 30 to 1, while John Scott's quondam favourite, Brown
Stout, receded to 33 to 1 offered, Bombardier representing
the outside division at 1,000 to 10 offered.

The Derby was only occasionally mentioned, the few
transactions that took place being 25 to 1 agst Athlete, 2,000
to 30 each about Spite and Hopbine, and 1,000 to 10 agst
Antares.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—MONDAY.
Nothing very important was done on the Leamington
Stakes, and, although several animals were supported, it
would be difficult to select any particular horse as the
favourite. Artless, after having been backed a few times
at Bto 1, receded to 100 to 8 (offered). For the St. Leger,
nothing under 2 to 1 was taken about Kettledrum, which
price found takers for every offer. Imaus improved his
position, and was freely supported at 8 to 1, while Brown
Stout appears to have been friendless to-day, as 100 to 3,
after being taken, was offered. The Roe came with some
force, and up to the close we had not seen less than 30 to 1
taken, but she had every appearance of seeing a much less
figure. Closing prices :
