Newcastle men continued hard at work, and W
four or five lengths.

GRAND HEAT 04
Coombes's party, the Claspers . and Pocock Si role'
were the competitors ; the race creating conk they'
interest, the Newcastle men having acquitteu •rool/
selves so gallantly on the previous day and in thelo,
heat. There might have been a good deal of lof,
this ; but we can only say that, surrounded as ";,, the
been for an hour before by the leading men -0110
Thames, we never heard a bet offered. There ivitg iptr
conversation, in which it was broadly asserted thlgeo
doners would have their work to do to beat the s"jered
who had not, until their debut on Friday, been emlbesloyeeD
formidable, and the interest and betting lying
Pocock's and Coombes's crew. 0011 t).
On the signal being given the Newcastle men boll.
lead, and were facing the Star and Garter, nearjaristsscti
length off red, blue being about the same sints
rn aste. Coombes's party then went up to the
t.
and a desperate struggle the whole way was the trot'
Coombes's party never were so tackled, and by
immense labour contrived to keep their lead in a.
of their adversaries, and won by a length and „
only, the Newcastle men being second.
The bad steerage of the lad who had the yoke of
the Newcastle boat was the subject of general ebseacr
tion, while that of the Pocock crew was a finished srbeeo
men of what may be effected in that line. Had Uteri°
other than a boy, and he, too, a stranger to the wane'
was rowing, it would have favoured the idea that .011,
thing was wrong ; as it was, much fault was eertal;gbd
be found, and had Jem Parish had the lines and Ledereo
no more than the boy, there might have been a cu
at
result. The race undoubtedly proves one thing, t"
Pocock party are not so good as the Coombes.
