GREAT OARS MATCH.

The contest between Messrs Dodd and Allen, of the Ariel
Club, and Messrs. Duplau and Plunket, which has created
some excitement in the aquatic circlet, came off yesterday
evening. In the first instance, Mr. Peachey was the gen-
tleman matched against the other pair, but in consequence
of the illness of the latter Mr. Allen was substituted by
mutual consent. The distance was from Vauxhall to Putney,
and the prize a pair of very handsome silver oars. At about
half-past six the gentlememen moved to their stations, at-
tended by a great number of boats. Dodd and Allen went to
the third arch from the Middlesex side, and their opponents
to the next to the southward, Mr. Teo kindly officiating as
umpire. It was a very good start, but after a few yards
Dodd and Allen showed in advance, gradually drew further
in advance, and won by twelve or fourteen lengths at least.
Messrs. Duplau and Plunket, although losers, rowed the
stern wager with a great deal of pluck. Shelton took the
latter up, and the scientific Noulton officiated for the win-
ners. Betting was 5 and 6t04 on Messrs. Duplau and Plun-
ket, and the takers, who were eager, we understand, have
picked up a good round sum.

aft in the other boat, lost his oar. He was soon supplied
with another, and having with his partner laid down to the
work in right good earnest, they came up with their oppo •
nents at the Bed House. Boyton and Dench then took the
lead, kept it, and won the race.

THE WEATHER AND THE HARVEST.—During the
week the weather has been superb—the sun has shone bright
and powerfully, and about the middle of the day has been as hot
as in some old fashioned summers it used to be in the middle of
August. Most of the crops in the neighbourhood are cut and
stacked, and the fields are now dotted over with numerous ricks
of all sizes and shapes, square, round, and oblong. The wheat
is of tolerable quality, though small in:the ear, and the harvest,
altogether more propitious than we had dared to hope.
