THE WAVERLEY CLUB BOAT RACE.
A very spirited pair-oared race, with four boats, came off
yesterday evening, amongst the gentlemen of the Waverley
Boat Club. The distance was the same as that chosen for
eights and fours in the Thames Regatta, being from Putney
Bridge toChiswick Ait.
Light Blue—Messrs. Watkins and Bennet. Orange—
Messrs. A. Prior and E. Prior. Purple—Messrs. Strutton
and Mongredieu. Crimson—Messrs. Westmoreland and
Green.
At about ten minutes to seven the gentlemen drew to-
wards the starting place, and were accompanied by the
Union, the Thames, Ariel, and other clubs. The wind was
blowing very stiffly down the reach, and made throughout
a great deal of left-handed labour. The boats were then
positioned, crimson on the Middlesex side, then orange and
purple. At two or three minutes before seven the signal
was given from the Union, and a pretty start was effected by
all the parties, purple taking the lead, orange being second,
and blue coining outside them. They had not proceeded
many yards when Mr. Westmoreland, through over excite-
ment, fainted, and fell off his thwart into the boat. He was
immediately taken to the Star and Garter, where every at-
attention was paid him. • Off the Duke's Head purple was
leading, closely pressed by orange; and the heat of
the race purple and orange accidentally made a slight foul,
and light blue came up and shortly after took the lead and
kept it. The struggle from the Duke's Head up to Ham-
mersmith-bridge between purple and orange was very inter-
esting; orange frequently rowed up to purple, and ulti-
mately passed them after a very dashing spurt. Won by
about sixty yards.

DEVON AND CORN WALL WREST-
LING MATCHES.

The Devon and Cornwall Wrestling Society resumed their
matches yesterday afternoon, and the display of science in
this old English game was exceedingly good ; and the ground
selected, which is at the Brecknock Arms Tavern, Camden-
town, was in a fair condition. The attendance was nume-
rous and respectable.
The principal play was as follows :
G. Partridge, of Devon, and J. Clyper, of Cornwall, light
weights, entered the ring for a few minutes, and Clyper was
thrown by the hanging toe.
Tregidder, of Cornwall, and Lucas, of Devon, light weights,
were the next competitors, both showing play, when Tre-
gidder threw his man a fair back.
John Goodman, of the Blues, a Cornishman, and George

Snell went to knock Goodman across the knee, when the
soldier caught his opponent by the back dock and threw him,
amidst loud cheers.
J. Bennet, of Cornwall, and John Hillman, of Devon, light
weights, played together for a considerable time, when Hill-
man was thrown in a very scientific manner.
J. George, of Cornwall, and Parish, of Devon, heavy
weights, played for a few minutes, and Parish was thrown.
Richard Dyer, of Cornwall, and James Gill, of Devon, heavy
weights, then contended, and received several cheers from
the spectators, each man playing well and showing science,
Gill being thrown.
James Trusscott, of Devon, and Read, of Cornwall, light
weights, were next, and, after a long tussel, Truscott threw
his opponent by the lock.
SECOND PLAY.—LIGHT WEIGHTS.
Mildrum, of Cornwall, and Bond, of Devon, two men of
equal weight and well matched, showed much toeing, when
Bond was thrown. .

Bennett being absent when called, his fall was given to his
competitor, Truscott ; and Tregidder gained the same from
Partridge.

THIRD PLAY.

The names being drawn, Truscott and William Mildrum
were the first to play for the prizes, and both men found
plenty of backers. Truscott quickly threw his man, but on
his shoulder. Mildrum was on the alert, and both men
showed play, when Truscott caught his man by the fore .hip
and threw him.
Tregidder and Truscott then came together, and consider-
able science was shown on both sides, each man struggling
hard for the laurel, and their backers cheering them on, but
Truscott was too much for his opponent. lie caught his
man in his favourite way, by the fore-hip, and threw him
amidst loud cheers.

LIGHT 'WEIGHTS.
First prize—James Truscott, Devon.
Second prize—T. Tregidder, Cornwall.

FIGHT BETWEEN H. BROOME

- - -
AND ROWE, FOR 50/. A-SIDE.
Yesterday, the long-pending and long talked-of match
between Harry Broome, brother to Johnny Broome, host of
the Rising Sun, Air-street, Piccadilly, add Joe Rowe, was
decided at Heversham, Oxfordshire, before a large muster of
the professionals, and a no very inconsiderable portion of
the metropolitan holiday folks, who thought it an agree-
able way for once at least of enjoying theinLelve. Accord-
ing to the previous articles the fight was to come off within
fifty miles of London, a space professionally termed the
Home Circuit, and neither of the men were to exceed
lOst. 51bs. Care was taken by the promoters of the fight to
prevent a recurrence of those disorders which had led to the
interruptions on former occasions, and everything possible
was done to bring the contest at length to an issue. The men
entered the ring, formed in a select spot, adjoining the place
above alluded to, and all the preliminaries being arranged,
the set-to commenced, with all the fervour and ardour which
so characterised the Olympic
The new rules of the ring, which have in a great degree
humanity as their standard, prohibit any approach to " pan-
cratium," so that the contest was one of the fists alone. By
the rules, after each round, the belligerents must walk from
their seconds' knees to the middle of the arena, and there

deemed the loser instantaneously. In contests of former
days the men were sometimes carried up to the last rounds,
and hence the many fatal consequences.
According to the accounts which reached town last night
both Broome and Rowe displayed great courage and skill ;
the former, however, after a smart contest, including 26
rounds, and occupying 57 minutes' time, was declared the
victor, amidst the congratulations of his friends. The number
of rounds in so short a time speaks well for the tactics of both
men. The battle money will be handed over to Broome
during the week, and a subscription will, no doubt, be opened

that the avenues of the Gothic Hall were soon densely
crowded with visitors, and the sale of articles at the various
stalls went on with great spirit. Notwithstanding the
arrangements made for the convenient ingress and egress of
the public, the succession of new arrivals was so constant
that in about three-quarters of an hour the visitors were so
closely wedged together as to make onward progress almost
impossible, and the stewards gave directions to the police to
close the doors until a certain number had, by taking their
departure, made room for the admission of more. This plan
was afterwards acted upon from time to time throughout
the day.

DESPERATE SUICIDE ON SOUTHWARK-BRIDGE (BY
SHOOTMG).—Yesterday afternoon a gentleman named John
James Gogerley, aged 51 years, expired in Guy's Hospital,
from the effects of a wound which he had inflicted upon
himself by firing a loaded pistol into his body on the night of
Thursday last. It appears that between 12 and 1 o'clock on
that night, as City police-constable No. 478 was on duty on
Southwark iron-bridge, his attention was directed to the flash
and report of fire-arms which proceeded from about the centre
de-
of the bridge. On hastening to the spot he found the
ceased man lying on the ground, bleeding profusely from a
wound or, the left side, which had evidently been caused by
a pastel, the stock of Which he held tightly grasped in his
hand, the barrel having been blown to pieces. A neighbour-
ing surgeon was immediately sent for, and deceased was
ultimately conveyed to the hospital. Mr. Marsh, the house
surgeon, administered to him proper restoratives, and de-
ceased was some time afterwards restored to consciousness.
He at first refused to give any account of himself, but subse-
quently stated his name and where his relatives resided.
The latter having been apprised of the occurrence visited him
in the hospital, and it was ascertained that he had borrowed
a pistol from a person named Pearce, 'a night-watchman in
the employ of Messrs. Boyd, warehousemen. He then
loaded it with four bullets, stating that he wanted it to shoot
a mad dog at his sister's. He sutsequently proceeded to the
bridge, and there committed the act. Two of the balls were
afterwards extracted, but deceased lingered until yesterday,
when he died. He had formerly been in comfortable circum•
stances, and filled the office of clerk to his brother, a solicitor
in Mark-lane, but lately
.having become reduced in his cir-
cumstances, he has been In a very desponding way.
