In the first heat, each boat having one pair of oars, to go frim
Westminster Bridge round a boat moored off Batersca
and return to the Red House, Has'ip and Farsnn cane in 1.1•
Farlow and Howell second, and Castle and Westwood thi&t.

These three started again, at five o'clock, for the final
from Vauxhall Bridge, round a boat ad the Red
back to Whitehall.

Shortly after the start was made, the beat of Castle ardWett-
wood, and that of Farlow and Howell, ran foul of each cuter,
but though they were soon disengaged, their antagouists, Ilasi:p
and Farson, had made almoat sulficient,progress to insure to them-
selves the prize; the latter were then f.: st, who, amidst tie
cheers of their fr tends, and the aeclantatiouset a &t eat concetrse
of spectators on the shore, rowed in tine style ruuud the boat
moored off the Red House, and in a few seconds they seers !C-
-lawed by the other two boats. The race at this period beesme
highly interesting, fur owing to the ti .le being against theta it
their passage thence to Whitehall, the issue tit the clay deeetu!ei
as much upon a due application of as of strength. orpo.•.€
to the windmill, on the Surrey stde, and just below the lied
House, they crossed the River, and shaped their course
toe Middlesex side, keeping close in shore. It was near). hOt
water, and the Bow, of course, not vtry rapid. C.wle
Westwood, the favourites, who were in the last of t:,e
boats, now made a rally, with the evident intention of
the day if they could, and, exerting themselves ttgairst the •
endeavoured, manfully and poWerfuliy, to recover th,!r I :(
ground, but their efforts were unavai!ing, and they came it' lat'•
Haslip and Farson arrived first at Whitehall, and were
and enthusiastically cheered by tke assembled multitude. 1e:
race had the high honour of being distinguished by the preset:
's
n
el his Royal Highness the Duke of Yua, who was in the De-
derick, eight-oared boat, which was rowed by the amateurs t•
whom it belongs. We had the satisfaction to observe that h.s
Royal Ilishness looked remarkably well, and appeared. to
.be
very much pleased and ;unused by the sport. Beside the " bre-
&rick," therewete, of eight.eared boats, those belonging te :he
Whitehall Rowing Club, the Funny Club, the Eagle it.tter
Club, and several others; the Emerald ten-oared boat, aad
vast number of MI and four-oared boats, together with an altno-t
Mourns:table quantity of small craft. At spa o'clock the whole
of the"sport was concluded, and all who left the river appealed
ghly delighted with their afternoon's amusement.
