GRAND ROWING MATCH.

A most excellent rowing match took place yesterday for &furs.:
of sovereigns, given by Lord Chetwynd and the gentlemen aniateuts'
of Whitehall. The competitors were all picked, and the list un.
questionably contained the mane, of the five best men upon the
over, and some even calculated seven. Castles and Cam bell were
if any thing the favourites, as tne toemer is considered o, every one
the best man on the river, and his partner has also been known
as a man of undoubted prowess. The next two pairs picked out
bi the cognoscenti were Williams and Brummel, and Parish and
kid, and so much on a par were these four, that it was a toss up who
should win. Williams is known to possess immense strength, but
it is believed that he is more expert with sculls than oars ; on the
contrary Bramwell (his partner) is a scientific oarsman. The name
of Parish carries great weight in the annals of aquatics, but the
length of distance it was asserted would be against him, as be is
generally considered a man of short wind ; in other respects he has
not his equal ; his partner, although a good man, was however
stale. °malty was the best man in the estimation of many that
Father Thames ever knew, but his talents have been superseded.
His partner, however, was a fresh, strong, and superior oarsman,
and many of the Borough swells sported their blunt oo this
pair in preference to the others. It is not, however, with rowing
as with other sporting amusements; there are so many casualicies
to alter the odds, and many of the men who are first raters on a fine
calm day, are of no use in high wind and stormy weather. Owing
to the unusual fineness of the afternoon, the river was literally
crowded with boats • and some of the cutters of the celsbmted Clubs
were present. The scene was extremely animating; and the
banks appeared like moving masses of spectators, anxious to wit.

The terms of the match were--six pair of oars, one heat ; to row
with the tide from Westminster to Putney Bridge. Nearly an hour
before high water the signal was given, and the men went off like
lightning, all keeping close together, and being out of the view of
their starting-place in less than three minutes. Castles and Camp.
bell took the lead slightly, and maintained it pearl the whole way,
coming in first. G see oatley and Harris were ; and Williams
and Bnimmell third. The others were distanced. Much money de-
pended upon the issue, and the result fully proved that the good
opinion of the favourite pair was not ill.bestowcd. Parish never
rowed worse, and his total defeat will lower him much in the esti-
mation of the admirers of aquatics.

SnooTlxo SIT THE RED HOUSE CLUB AT BATTERSEA.
Tuesday a sweepstakes was decided, in which Capt. Ross, Col.
Anson, and five olre .embers of the club contended. The shoot-
ing surpassed any that has been witnessed during the season, and
some heavy sums exchanged hands on the occasion. Capt. Ross and
Colonel Anson were declared to be ties, and of course had to shoot
foe the prise over again. So closely did they contend the match
that Col. Anson won only by one bird, the last one shot at by Capt.
Ross falling outside the inclosure, though severtly struck.
