seconds, and the start was ..f a superior description, all of them
coming through Bleckfriars Bridge nearly together. The Emulation
was to windward with the wind at S. K. and the Fai:y close upon
her lee-bow. In passing by the Old Barge Ilnu.e, the Fairy put
down her helm, and pressed hard upon the lee-beam ~f the Einufa-
tion, and every one supposed the latter would have gone head on
into the roads; she, however, saw the niat ceovre ut her antagonist,
and, by dexterously putting her helm hard do and quickly
ing up her main.sheet. she fall between the roads into the South
Shore. The Lady Louisa took the lead between Waterloo and
Westminster Bridges, closely followed by the Apollo. Tn. niateu
excited considerable interest up to Putney ; and, alter some admir-
able sailing, and many good manoeuvres, the Fairy gained the lead,
the Lady Louisa and Emulation being close at hand; the Apollo
brought up the rear.' After an admirably contrived match, wry
came in ,at Westminster as follows t—Fairy first,. I atly Louisa
second,Emulation third, and the Apollo (who was may eight funs,
and the ()three thirteen and-tourtern), four:h. • a • • -
