ASTL:SY'S ANNUAL ROWING-MATCH.—This was a
Grand Regatta in hi hour of his Royal Highness the
Prime RIMENT'S Birth-day s a Prize Wherry being
rowed for yesterday afternoon by six free Watermen,
who had already won one of Mr. Amity's Prize
Wherries. The present was the twenty-ninth he has
given, and cost thirty guineas. The following six
pair of sculls stilled at a quarter past four, being
tint summoned by a discharge of cannon, from
SEARLA and Goorazt's Wharf, the Builders of the
Wherry, viz.

I. itollert Remington. Hoeselydown—Scarlei.
2. Henry Lewis, ditto—Blue.
5. William Collins, Temple—Green.
4. Edward Birch, Pepper Alley—Yellow.
5. John Maynard, Lambeth—Brown.
• James Watford, Temple—Purple.
The whole of the Boats kept in almost a direct line,
until off Lambeth Palace, when tbetwo below-bridge
men. being is the full current of the tide, had mani-
festly the advantage ; but off Nine Elms, where the
wind pressed much upon their boats, these under it
began to shoot ahead, when Nos. 3,4, 5, and
passed their competitors—the latter taking the lead
came in first, No. 4 second, and No. 5 third, at the
first heat. The grand heat for the Prize Wherry
Ike. took place at a quarter before six, Nos. 4,5, and
6, starting for it. There was no advantage in any of
the three boats until they passed through the third
arch of Vatrahall-bridge, when, in going round the
pier to the surrey side, Watford (No. 6), who was
then first, was cut off by Maynard (No. 5), who
being a Lambeth man, and more experienced in the
set of the tide on that shore, kept ahead the whole
race, but very closely followed by Watford (No. 6).
Maynard, of Lambeth. came in first, about six boats
length ahead of Watford, and Birch (No. 4), about
the same distance astern. The Prize 'Wherry was de-
livered to the conqueror in the Amphitheatre, which
was crowded in every part.
