THAMES BOAT RACES.

The series of races under the above title, as a substi-
tute for the Thames Grand Regatta, were wound up
yesterday by some first-rate sport, but were hardly so
numerously attended as anticipated. It had been, indeed,
rumoured in Putney on Sunday, that in consequence cf
the lamented death of the Vice-Chancellor of England
these races had been postponed. Nor were such rumours
altogether without foundation, for as soon as the melan-
choly event was known to the committee of management,
they took into consideration the propriety of offering
that mark of respect to a gentleman who had always
been a staunch supporter of the Thames Regatta, and
who by his affability, had gained for himself the good
opinions of all. It was, however, found impossible to
carry out these intentions, as the tide would not sink
again for a fortnight, and a postponement for so long a
period would have entailed a great extra expense on men
who could ill afford it—the watermen who had trained
themselves for this match.

The prizes for competition were a pair of silver cups
for tradesmen, and a purse of sovereigns for watermen.
Of the former there were four pairs entered, while of the
latter eight scullers had been selected by the committee,
who had established for themselves great repute as crack
scullers.

TUE TRADESMEN'S MATCH.

John Wilcox, Frederick Cox, Putney (White) 1
William Chandler, William Hawes, Lambeth (Blue) 0
Parkins Jones, John Kelly, Fulham
Gale and Nicholls of Pimlico were entered, but did
not come to the post. They made a very tolerable start,
but Blue, although rowing at a great pace, lost consi-
derable way by steering too much to the Surrey side,
and in fact crossing Pink's water although well ahead.
Pink narrowly escaped a capsize by missing his water in
a stroke. A good race ensued between White and Blue,
the former leading slightly, but closely pressed by his
opponent all the way up. White ultimately won by two
lengths.

GREAT SCULLERS' DIATCH.-FIRST HEAT.

J. A. Messenger ... (Red) 1
T. Coombes ... (Blue) 2
G. Pocock ... (Stripe) 0
G. Leach (Black) 0
This race, like the one that had preceded it, was rowed
from Putney-hride to Hammersmith. Considerable
speculation had taken place upon the event, and Mac-
kinney and Doubledee were the two favourites, either
being backed as fancy dictated, to win the grand heat.
After three false starts, the last of which induced the
umpires to transpose the heats, they at last all got off ca-
pitally, Leach with a trifling start, which, although he
exerted himself very much, he was unable to retain, and
above Me:;srs. Searle's gave place to Messenger, T.
Coombes and Pocock being close up, scull and scull, or
nearly so. Messenger continued with a trifling lead to
the end, and off the pier at Chandler's, Coombes, who
had begun to shake Pocock off, passed Leach, who
shortly afterwards also :gave place to Pocock. Won by
four lengths.

They started well. Douldedeethen got a slight lead,
Mackinney being second, Lett lying close on his quar-
ters. In this order they continued to the point on the
Middlesex side, when Doubledem forced Mackinney
rather too much into the Surrey shore, and both were
couae quently somewhat out of their course. By these
means, Lett, who bad been getting astern, by proper
steerage and very spirited rowing, was enabled to collar
the leading pair again, and at the Crab Tree they were
all well together. Here Mackinney put on a most de-
termined effort, Doubledee relaxing in a corresponding
manner, while Lett pursued s. pretty good pace. Mac-
kinney ultimately won by four or five lengths.
FINAL HEAT.

Thomas Mackinney

J. A. Messenger (Red) 0

All four got well away together to Messrs. Searle's
yard, where Coombes was thrown off by the others, who
continued to make a most beautiful race of it, till off
Rose Cottage, where, in consequence of Messenger
losing his scull, he was thrown into the third place.
After this Doubledee, as in the first heat, again pressed
his opponent into the Surrey shore, and a slight foul
was the consequence, which, had there been a necessity
for the umpire's decision, would have been given against
Doubledee. Messenger then began to overhaul Double-
dee, and slightly gained upon him at the distance. Mac-
kinney won by a clear length; the second man (Double-
dee) was scarcely more a-head of Messenger.

MANCHESTER REGATTA.
The annual boat races ou the river Irwell commenced
on Monday, and attracted a very large company to wit-
nesa.them. The Trafford Park Stakes of 51. 55., for
youths under eighteen years of age, in four-oar gigs, was
contested by ten crews, in four classes, the river not
being wide enough for more than three boats at a time,
with deciding heats to determine the best of the best, and
occupied a considerable portion cf the afternoon. The
last deciding heat lay between two boats, culled the Gem
and the Mischief, and was an interesting race, terminat-
ing in favour of Mischief. The principal event cf the
day was the Chadwick Cup, of 201., for four-oar gigs,
with 153. each crew added, the first boat to pay the
ecend 31. There were three entries, two of them
being Manchester boats, manned by 4he Shakspet e
and Princess, rival clubs, and the other,being a New-
castle-upun-Tyne boat, manned by J,ihn Salter and,
the four Claspers, whose prowess has carried oil
prizes on the Thames, the Mersey, and the Dec,

petitors appear to pull with each other. The boat of the
Claspers, however, now drew slightly ahead from be-
tween the other, and notwithstanding the opinion of
theorists in such matters that the short quick stroke of .
the Manchester men was best adapted to fresh water
rowing, the long steady pulls acquired by the others
upon tidal waters gradually placed them more and
more in advance, till 5 to 1 and ultimately
20 to 1 in their favour was freely offered in the betting
circles. The up-stream race virtually decided the con-
test, and the Newcastle boat came back half a dozen
lengths a-head, an apparently easy winner, the Princess
rowing in second. The next race was for the Stewards'
Cup, value 25 guineas. There were three boats entered,
but only two came to the scratch. One of these was a
Manchester boat and crew, tho Nemesis; the other was
a boat manned by military officers in garrison—Lieute-
nants Dumeresq, Lonsdale, Hunt, and Knatchbull, of the
3d Dragoon Guards. The Nemesis won, but the young
officers in the rival boat gave them some trouble. The
last race was a scullers' match, five boats entered: won
by the Confidence, Henry Ault. It was past seven in
the evening before the sports were over.

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.

STRIKE OF THE WHOLE OF THE DRIVERS
AND FIREMEN OF THE EASTERN COUN-
TIES COMPANY.

The unfortunate dispute between the Eastern
Counties Railway and the employes of the locomotive
department has terminated in the resignation of the
engine-drivers and firemen in the service of the com-
pany. On Monday afternoon, after a conference with
Mr. Ellis, one of the directors, no fewer than 178 no-
tices were sent in, intimating their intention of quit-
ting the company's employment on Monday next, an
event which has caused no trifling sensation in the
districts through which the line passes.
In the evening a meeting of the body was held at
the George, Stratford, when it was resolved that the
drivers should not work with strange mates, or fire-
men, and that, if a stranger was placed upon the
engine with them, they should immediately quit it
and allow the stranger either to proceed with the en-
gine or leave it. They argued that this was no re-
fusal of duty ; they only declined to travel with a
stranger; but even if it was a refusal, the company
would have their task in fining or imprisoning the
whole of them. This was the way the London and
North-Western men succeeded ; and they urged
that they must do the same if they wished to be
victorious.

Yesterday the directors of the company had a board
meeting on the subject, which lasted some time. We
understand that the complaints of the men were taken
into consideration, and that the board came to the
conclusion that they were of a far different character
than had been represented by them, and therefore
confirmed Mr. Gooch's conduct. It was also said
that the company had adopted every precaution in
running the trains and carrying on the traffic, in the
event of the drivers and firemen quitting, as they pro-
pose, on Monday morning next.
