Second Heat.

T. Pocock, Lambeth (Green and White) 1
R. Pinar, Hammersmith • (Green) 2
G. Drewett, Chelsea (Red) 0
This was a very fine heat. At the onset Drewett and
Pocock came out admirably together ; but in a few pulls
Pocock led well, and had cleared himself off the high bridge.
Piner, who had been slightly astern, now challienged
Drewitt, and passed him at the point where the latter gave
in, and the other men finished very much at their lei Sure.

Third Heat.
B. Oxlado, Paul's-wharf (Yellow and Black) 0
Jno. Mackinney, Richmond . (Green and RO) 0
Thomas Mackinney of Richmond started in this heat.
From the first Oxlade took a decided lead, the other two
off the committee barge being half their length astern of
him. Soon, however, John Mackinney rowed up to (*.Wade,
and afoul occurred betweeil them. Oxlade appealed to the
umpire, and left off rowing, John Mackinney finishing the
distance. As Thos. Mackinney had stood no chance, and
did not put in any claim to contend in the grand heat, both
John Mackinney and Oxlade were placed.

S. Beckett, Fulham (Yellow) 0
G. Francis, Teddington (Blue) 0
Although all broke away together they were only in line
for a moment, Clasper taking a fine and decided lead, which
he maintained throughout ; Styles followed him pretty
closely, but was some time before he disposed of the others.
Second Heat

E. Agars, Chelsea ..... (Yellow and Black) 2
S. Maloney, Richmond (Red) 0
G. Sheppard, Chelsea (Red and White) 0
H. Phelps, Fulham (Green and White) 0
The start was exceedingly good, the two winning men
coming prettily out at first, and holding it, but the others
rowed very capitally, especially Maloney.

As we have before stated, this was the great event of the
regatta, and upon which its popularity may fairly be said
to hinge. To the above-named wero added, in another heat,
the Adelaide, or Fulham crew, of the Champion of the
Thames (H. Kelly), a crew from Hampton, and a second
crew from Hammersmith, called " the Western." Amongst
the six the Claspers (Newcastle), to whom were added, as
it will be seen, the great Chambers, who is now backed to
row for the championship of the Thames, were first
favourites, and many gentlemen had come to London from
the North to back them and to witness the race. Kelly's
and the first-named Hammersmith crew were next in de-
mand; the extraordinary rowing of the latter in former
races had deservedly advanced them in popularity, and as
they were said to be in very first-rate condition this year,
they did not lack backers. As regarded the merits of the
other three, much diversity of opinion existed.
It was a fine start, and they were literally oar and oar
for a quarter of a mile, when the Claspers began to show a
slight front, and the Hammersmith to be second ; the latter
then made a desperate effort to overhaul the former, and
the Manchester on their part were doing the same for
second place. The Claspers at Hammersmith-bridge
wore half their length clear; the Hammersmith three
boats a head of Manchester. After this the two leading
crews began to ease. Claspers came in first by three
lengths. _ _

The Adelaide and Hampton went off together, but the

The Hampton crew gradually gave place to the Western,
and was pretty well half a dozen lengths astern.

Hemmings won the race easily. Clasper was very good

betweenac Oxlade and Mackinney, but the latter was in the
right. A magnificent race followed between Pocock and

Great praise is due to Mr. C. Maxwell, for his able as-
sistance on board the committee barge, in manning the
umpires' boats, and looking after other important matters.
The grand heat of the Champion four-oared race will be
rowed up from Putney to Chiswick Eyott, at half-past four
this afternoon, and a steamer has been engaged by the com-
mittee to accompany the race. The Newcastle men are the
favourites.
