THE GUY'S BOAT CLUB.

A very excellent four-oared race was rowed yesterday
evening by the gentlemen of the Guy's Club, who were
numerously attended by other amateurs. The distance was
from Vauxhall to Putney, and the start took place about
seven o'clock.

Pink—Messrs. Thompson (1), Sealy (2), Lloyd (3),
Gruggen (stroke), Calloway (steerer).
Red—Messrs. Norris (1), Poland (2), Jadkins (3), Cooper
(stroke), Forster (steerer).
Yellow—Messrs. Edwards (1), Evans (2), Hewitt (3),
Ainger (stroke), Celguin (steerer).
The Union kindly consented to act as umpire, and started
the crews, who went away very evenly. Red then slightly
led, followed by yellow ; pink, who had a disadvantage in
station, being third. About the Belgrave Dock yellow went
ahead, and pink began to draw on red and passed them just
above the Red House. Yellow was steered into the right on
the Middlesex side, and, fouling Battersea-bridge in their
strenuous endeavours to retrieve their lost way, fouled the
piles and gave up the race. Pink went through Battersea-
bridge half a length in advance, and maintained it the whole
way, winning by half a length, but they were pressed
throughout very gallantly by red, who decreased the dis-
tance of a length and a half, which the leading boat had at
Wandsworth Point, most materially.

PEDESTRIAN FEAT.—On Thursday, Tierney (late
of the 61st Regiment) undertook for a wager of 5/. to run from
London to Ascot-heath and return in seven hours, on the road.
The start was made from the Garrick's Head, Bow.street, and he
reached the race-course in three hours and-a-half, and completed
the distance back to London in three hours and ten minutes,
having travelled over fifty-six miles of road in six hours and forty
minutes.
HARE-HUNT ON ASCOT RACE- COURSE.—On Thurs-
day, at Ascot, just prior to the race for the Ascot Cup, a leveret,
which had been started from the heath ran upon the course, and
was quickly pursued by the spectators, and after having afforded
considerable amusement, effected its escape.
CRICKET.—THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD V. THE
UNIVERSITY OF Csmasoms.—This match was resumed yesterday
at Lord's, by Mr. Moberley and Mr. Yonge appearing at the
wickets. The former gentleman, however, was quickly stumped
by the Hon. F. Orimston, when he had added one only to his score
of the previous day. Mr. Yonge increased his number by three,
and Mr. Ridding contributed twelve in good style. The whole
innings amounted to ninety-six, thus putting Cambridge in for
fifty.one runs to win. The latter then went in, but lost four
good wickets ere they could be declared the victors, a position they
ultimately took with six wickets to spare.

A match of cricket was played on the Bridgenorth
ground on Monday last,between the Wolverhampton Club and the
gentlemen of Bridgenorth School, when the latter were victorious
by 51 rune.

The cargo of Trinidad sugars, shipped on board the
Pacha by James Colquohoun, Esq., of London, one of the directors
of the Irish Great Western Railway, consisting of 250 hhds., 90
tierces, and 51 barrels, were on Wednesday last brought under
hammer by Mr. James Fym, broker, at Galway. The attendance
of the trade was numerous, and the several lots, admirably selected,
brought remunerating prices, and the entire cargo was disposed of
in the course of two hours. This was the first importation of
sugars direct from the West Indies Into the port of Galway, the
Pacha having made the passage from Trinidad in the short space
of thirty-three days.
WINDSOR, FRIDAY EVENING.—The Court will
not leave Windsor until to.morrow. Yesterday morning arrange.
ments had been made for the Court to leave Windsor this day for
Buckingham Palace, but shortly before the royal banquet took
place last evening those arrangements were countermanded, and an
intimation immediately forwarded to those innkeepers whose horses
had been engaged to proceed with some of the royal carriages to
Slough that they would not be required, so that they would be at
liberty to be hired to proceed to the course at Ascot to.day. The
royal banquet to be given this evening at Buckingham Palace was
also postponed, and instructions to that effect forwarded from the
office of the Lord Steward to town. Her Majesty and his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by their royal and distin.
guished visitors, are expected to take their departure to-morrow
afternoon, for town.
VISITORS BY THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY TO
Ascor.—Tns CUP Day.—More passengers by upwards of 3,000
were conveyed from Paddington to Slough, en route to Ascot, on
Thursday last, than upon any former " Cup Day" since the open-
ing of the railway to that station, now some seven or eight years
ago. The first train which started from Paddington was at the
early hour of a quarter past four in the morning, and this conveyed
between 200 and 300 passengers. The trains continued to run,
onl♦ short intervals intervening, from that time until past one
o'clock. Up to twelve o'clock 7,850 passengers had left Paddington.
THE POLISH BALL.—The grand full and fancy
dress ball, in aid of the funds for the distressed Poles, came off
last night, and, from the brilliancy of the attendance, proved itself,
wlth the exception of her Majesty's Bat Costume, to be the most
attractiv: and splendid ball of the season. The crowd was very
great. Many Pf the costumes that were worn at her Majesty's
ball made their second appearance there, and were very much ad-
mired. Monsieur Jullien's band was in attendance, but the sul.
triness of the weather and the vast crowd made dancing neither
very easy nor very agreeable; in fact: only a very small portion of
the company could find room to dance.
SERIOUS BITE FROM A .DOG _.About half-past
seven last evening, a dog of the spaniel breed was observed near the
shop of Mr. Noble, the engraver, of 211, Strand, foaming from the
mouth. A boy named Myers. in attempting to remove it, was
bitten severely in the hand. It was the: driven away by some boys
as far as Milford-lane, snapping at all It came near. A coal-
heaver then struck the dog upon the head with a hammer, and
after a few struggles it expired. The boy Myers was taken to the
hospital in Carey-street, where the wound was cut and lunar cans.
tic applied to it.
Mr. Frederick Peel, second son of Sir Robert Peel,
Batt, has just entered the Temple as a student.
