165

The Coat and Badge was yesterday rowed for by six
young men, who had not been snore than a year released
from their apprenticeship. Aoeording to the will of Dog-
gett they were to row from the Swan at London Bridge, to
the Swan at Chelsea, against tido, and the first at the
Swan was to gain the prize. This race is usually &in-
ducted by the Watermen's Company, and upon the prevent
occasion every attention was paid to the arrangements. The
men started at two o'clock, and young Mallett, of Waterloo
Bridge stairs, took the lead, followed by Dodd. The con-
tort was between three boats only, the others laving no
chance of success. After a most admirable trial of skill
aid tact, Mallett proved that he was the best man, by
keeping the lead up to Chelsea. He was consequently the
first at the winning point, and thereby gained the prize
amidst the cheers of the surrounding spectators. Dodd,
who was second, gave an excellent specimen of rowing, and
likewise gained a small sum of money, which was given
with the coat and badge. The day was fine, and the water
displayed many gay parties, who did not fail in drinking to
the memory of Doggett, the generous friend of the water.
