We never witnessed a match where so muck deter-
mined opposition was %hewn as between the Mercury
and the Produce, and had it not been so we think' one
of these boats -would have won the prize.
The river was covered with pleasure sailing vessels,i
and there being a fine breeze from N.N.W. the whole
r4ce was perfoi toed in less than six hours.
'The Commodore, Captains, and their Friendi par-
took of a sumptuous entertainment at the Artichoke,
Blackwall, and in the evening the prize was present-
ed to Captain G. Gunston, amidst the hearty congra-
tulations of his friends.
The Mercury, Captain Astley, has betted a con.
siderable wager against the St. George, Captain. J.
Gunston, and the match was to be sailed from Black-
wall to Gravesend and back this day.
