'GREAT OARS' WAGER AMONGST THE GENTLE-
MEN OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY CLUB.
The members of this highly-respectable club, who have
acquired much popularity by their spirited racing at the
• Thames Grand Regatta, and at Brith, -in the great race
against the splendid crew of the Royal Artillery, on Thursday
rowed their pair-oared wager for a pair of very handsome
gold oars, intended to be worn, we presume, as union pins, a'
bijou not unlike that presented at Henley, under the title of
the diamond sculls. Seven pairs had entered the lists as
competitors, and were chosen by lottery a few days ago, thus.
affording any gentlemen on the river who were speculative,
an opportunity of •backing their opinion. The distance was
the same as that chosen a few days ago by the Leander Club,
the start being made from Vauxhall'instead of Westminster
bridge; and the race finishing at Putney.

In consequence of-the lateness of the tide, the gentlemen
did not move towards Vauxhall-bridge until seven o'clock.
Mr. A. Cooper's boat was nearest the Middlesex shore, Mr.
Atkinson's next, then Mr. Moorhead's, Mr. Howard's, Mr.
Revel's, and Mr. Dodd's. The signal for starting was given
by Mr. A. Cooper, R.A., who was umpire, and steered the
club eight, arid the whole of the seven pair went off very
prettily together. Atkinson and his partner took the lead,
clolely followed by A. D. Cooper and partner, Dodd and his
partner and Smith's boat being abreast of each other,
and the others scarcely a boat away. In rowing up the
Teach, the leading pair immediately improved their ad-
vantage, and never lost the first place. A. D. Cooper
and partner held the second place, Aptil, in consequence
of shifting their oars, a trifling (Play was occasioned,
which lost them their position. Moorhead and his part-
ner, H. Cooper's boat and Dodd's, all being well up, and
a splendid struggle going on for the second place, which was
obtained off the beginning of the the town of Wandsworth,
by some very plucky pulling on the part of Dodd and Emery,
who were pressed all the remaining portion of the distance
by the third pair. Atkinson and Robins won by eight lengths,
the three next having hut little space between them. The
Leander, and some other great aquatic clubs, accompanied
the race.

SCULLERS' CONTEST BETWEEN LEACH AND
• BARTLETT.
The scullers' contest for 10/. a-side, between Joseph Leach,
of Vauxhall, and Clement Bartlett, took place on Tuesday,
from Westminster.to Putney, but was, from first to last, too
much ene way to need any lengthened detail. Both men
have acquired some note as scullers, Leach having exhibited
considerable powers in the oars race at Putney a month ago;
and Bartlett having defeated the well-known John Phelps
some five or six years ago. me men started at about half-
past sik, Leach having the outside
place, but not being at
any disadvantage in that respect, as the wind blew sttongly
from the eastward. "Leach ran away with the lead, main-
tained it throughout, and won by two or three hundred yard;
