The distance in this and the second heat was from Ham-
Mersmith-bridge to Putney-bridge, but in the final heat it
was started npvrardi. The start was beautiful, purple took
the lead, followed by red and white, the rest oar and oar in
the rear. Red picked up very much off the Crab Tree, and
shot over towards the Surrey shore, closely following red and
white. A capital race then succeeded, when the labour being
too-strong for red and white's bow, they changed oars, but
finding the competition on all hands too great, they gave up.
The heat was capitally round on all hands.

Two other gentlemen had been placed in this heat, but
owing to illness were absent. A firer start was never seen;
they were oar and oar for 2)0 yards. Blue and white drew
slightly in advance, and then black came up hand and hand,
aad passed them at a rattling pao.t. All continued at fine
speed, and green having made some excellent spurts, and
obtained the second place, followed closely by orange. blue
and white falling into the rear, in consequence of the indispo-
sition of Mr. Mackay, black continued the lead throughout.

On the signal being given. purple and green dashed off
with the lead ; black was next; but red, who were over on the
Middlesex side, were considerably astern in the g') off. The
latter, however, in a few desperate strokes—and it may be as
well here to observe that the rowing oft )sgood, who has never
before exhibited in a match, and who had been lotted with
the stroke oarsman of the club, was most creditable—came
level with the others ; and some very pretty rowing ensued.
Off the Star and Garter, the bowman of green's boat lost his
stretcher. Black then made play, and soon got into the first
Pier; but almost immediately afterwards was fouled by
pmple. Black, however, again went ahead, leaving purple
two or three lengths astern. Red, by dint of the most extra-
11rdina7 exertion, then made up to purple, and, after a sharp
mtlit.t, passed them. The gentlemen then sat down to a
sumptuous repast at Avis's-, the Bells Tavern.
