ROYAL' THAMEARNsATTDIAVAL REGATTA.
The great metropolitan annual contest under this title
commenced yesterday, and will be concluded this day at
half-past'foun -It had originally been intended to confine
the regatta to one day, but a due regard to the engagements
of some,of the men in the principal race induced the com-
mittee, after due deliberation, to defer one grand heat, that
of the 'Champion four-oared race, open to the world, which
is the great feature of this meeting, and which brings to
the 'London river the most proficient oarsmen from all parts
of the kingdom.
Exclusively as the great regatta at Henley-on-Thames
is confined to the rowing of gentlemen amateurs, so is the
Thames National to watermen ; and while the former has
afforded an opportunity of developing the height of per-
fection in the science of rowing amongst the aristocracy, so
has the latter encouraged the spirit of fair play and hon-
ourable emulation amongst the hard-working class to which
the navy has been mainly indebted for its best and bravest
men.

The weather was wet and threatening in the morning,
but as the day advanced it became more cheering; still
there was a great deal more wind out than suited light
wager craft, and the labour of the various competitors was
materiallyincreased in the early races, while those were
advantaged by it who rowed down on the ebb tide.
The beautiful state-barge, the Maria Wood, had been
engaged by the regatta committeee for the subscribers and
their friends, and had nearly 500 persons on board, in-
cluding a great many ladies, and Sir James Duke, who had,
as before, kindly undertaken to give the prizes. The services
of the Horse Guards Blue band had been retained for the
occasion, and enlivened the intervals between the races with
very excellent music. Throughout the whole distance from
Putney to Hammersmith-bridge there were thousands of
eager spectators both afloat and ashore, and nothing could
exceed the air of bustle and excitement which pervaded the
whole, scene ; and while provision had been made in one re-
spect tor the advantage of spectators, the committee had not
been unmindful of it in another, Mr. Heath, of the Star and
Garter, Putney, having been deputed to provide the dain-
tiest creature comforts for all on board.
The sport commenced at two o'clock with the
Scullers' Race, open to the World.
First Heat.

J. Wise, Kew (Blue) 1
J. Chandler, Hammersmith (White) 2
W. Mancey, Isleworth (Yellow) 0
The men started away from the aqueduct b:idge very
evenly ; immediately after which Wise and Chandler drew
slightly in front. At the Matia Wood, moored nearly op-
posite Messrs. Searle's late yard, Wise was just clearing
himself of Chandler, who was nearly half a length clear of
Mancey. In the rowing up to Craven Cottage the .three
men, preserving their relative positions, became wider
apart, and Mancey fell right astern.
Second Heat.
- -

T. Pocock, Lambeth . (Green and White) 1
R. Piner, Hammersmith (Green) 2

G. Drewett, Chelsea . ...(Redi 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 challenged
Drowitt, and passed him at the point where the latter gave
in, and the other men finished very much at their leisure.
. .

Third Heat.

B. Oxlade, Paul's-wharf
Jno. Mackinney, Richmond (Green and Red) 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 Oxlade,
and a foul occurred between 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.

Although all broke away together they were only in line
for a moment, Clasper taking a fine and decided lead; which
ho maintained throughout; Styles followed him pretty
closely, but was some time before he disposed of the others.
Second Heat

W. Hemmings, Richmond (Blue and White) 1
E. Agars, Chelsea (Yellow and Black) 2
S. Maloney, Richmond
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, espacially 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 were 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
were 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.

Pocock took the lead, Wise and Chandler were abreast of
each other, Mackinney being fourth. A foul then occurred
between Oxlade and Mackinney, but the latter was in the
right. A magnificent race followed between Pocock and
Wise, till the latter fairly rowed him down, and won easily.
Piner, of Hammersmith, did not go.
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.
'rho 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.
