umphant style It was dec,ded by two heats : the
first wls won by ‘VATFORD, Of the Temple-straits.
At a quarto- before seven the prize was borne io
the Amphitheatre, and therein exhibited. This
wits one of the finest displays of the athletic powers
ever witnessed ; and the science and ease evinced
by the conqueror were divines for panegyric dur-
ing the evening. The afternoon being fine, the
River was covered with pleasure boats, particu-
larly yachts, funnies, and four and six oared cut-
ters. The effect was greatly heightened by the
number of spectators who lined the shores. All
the tea gardens and other places for public enter-
tainment wete crowded. Nothing happened to
disturb the harmony.

SPARRING.—RandaII had a benefit at the Fices
Court yesterday, which was well attended, not-
withstanding the emptiness of the town. In the
absence of Carter, Painter, Scroggins, and others,
the setting-to was not so good as could have been
wished. The exhibition, however, between Eales
and Belcher, etas as perfect a treat of science as
could have been witnessed. The nice measure-
ment, the skilful parries, and justness of execu-
tion, excited much applause. Owen set-to with
his pupil Turner, but the latter has made so much
progress, that be had the best of his muster, and
the tactics of the old school. Shelton sheaved'
his prowess about the bead of Stringer, the her-
culean Yorkshireman. Randall displayed ►llnch.
cience with Lazarus the Jew, and the bout be—
tween Oliver and Richmond was interesting. No
new matches were wade in the Court. Letters.
have been received from Carlisle, stating that
100 guineas. will he deposited for Carter to fight
the Black who hest Fainter, to fight during the
Carlisle Races. They also offer to back Cooper:
for a hundred, to fight any one rise, bar Cribb.
