SAILING MATCH.
A &ling Match took place on Saturday evening at
Hammersmith, of a most interesting description, between
twenty-four v;orking Peter boats, owned by fishermen,
for various prites in sovereigns, given by the Ladies and
Gentlemen of Chiswick and Hammersmith.

Twenty-four Peter-boats having taken their respective
stations at Hammersmith-bridge, the signal was given,
when they all started to sail round a boat from the south-
ward, moored below Kew-bridge, and back past a boat
moored for that purpose near Hammersmith-bridge. On
the boats getting in trim and going off; a more interesting
scene could not be witnessed on the Thames. The
Countess Macartney took the lead, followed by the
Providence, and after a contest which afforded great gra-
tification to the admirers of sailing, and in which the boats
passed and re-passed each other several times, they came
in thus :—Providence, T. Humphreys, Hammersmith,
first; Countess Macartney, Moses Gibson, Chiswick,
second; George and William, W. Malcolm, Harmer-
smith, third; Henry, William White, Chiswick, fourth ;
Richard and Sarah, 11. Pearce, Strand, fifth ; Owners'
Delight, W. Bolton, Chiswick, sixth ; Active, S.
Earlam, Hammersmith, seventh; The remaining seven-
teen came in shortly after each other. A purse of about
twenty sovereigns were distributed by the Committee, at
the Ship Inn, among the first six boats.
The rain, at short intervals, came down in torrents, and
consequently prevented many witnessing the match.
