MANCHESTER REGATTA.

The se;!ond day's sport at these annual aquatic races,
on Tuesday, proved more attractive than the first, and
the attendance included may thousands of people. The
Austin Prize of 3/. 10s., fur youths under sixteen years
old, in four-oar gigs, was contested by five boats, and
the prize carried off by the Gem. The next race v.as
for the Towell Cup of 15/., and was contested by
boats of the Princess and Nemesis Clubs. In rounding
the buoy at the end of the course the Princess
wns three lengths a-head, but a foul occurred,
which led the stewards to decide in favour of
a second trial, for which the Princess was allowed to
" walk over." The most interesting race of the day was
for the Garrison Stakes of 101., contested solely by mili-
tary crews. There were four boats—The Swallow, with
a crew of Royal Artillerymen; Little Teaser, with a
crew chosen from the 90th Light Infantry; the Little
Wonder, with crew also from the Light Infantry; and
the Juba, with crew from the 3d Dragoon Guards. Both
the infantry crew were beaten; and in a deciding heat
the Dragoons gallantly carried off the prize from the
Artillery, but only by a length and a half in a two•mile
raco. The Pomona Cup of 201., with sweeps of 265.
each crew, for four-oar gigs of 2611. 61n., was contested
for by two Manchester boats, the Shakspere and the
Princess, the former winning by several lengths after a
hard struggle. The Champion Prize for two-oared
boats was won by the Shakspere (Manchester boat)
against the Four Brothers (Newcastle boat, manned by
the Claspers), causing great consternation in the betting
circles, where 5 to 1 had been freely laid upon them.
The winner led at the close by four lengths.
