A good start was effected, and they were oar and oar f°t
a few yards. Green then took the lead, closely followed bri
white, and a gallant race followed for the first place, whic
white obtained off the Duke of Buccleuch's, on the return
down against tide for the first time. White held the lead'
winning by two lengths. The third boat was half a dozen
lengths astern of the second.

GRAND BEAT.
This was a most indifferent affair. They were oar and
oar for a dozen yards ; then crimson showed ahead, green
and white being abreast of eac other. Immeiately on their
arrival at the barge head forh the first time,d the two Maier
fouled, and continued together, while crimson rowed leistirel
ahead, followed by stripes. The fouling between green ar',
white continued for some time, but within about half a.nlilB
of the winning post, green shook their opponents off. Crinr
son won easily, stripes second, green third, a large Of
astern. t•
We had almost omitted to state that Newell and his par:„
ner will receive the second prize, although stripes came
next to the winners ; the reason for this being that strilie
did not come to the starting post at the time the others Wen
off, and are, therefore, not recognised as being in the race.
