Wyld, and Mead, alternately headed each other:
Lewis, however, caine in first, Wyld second. anti
Mead third. The second heat took place at hat:-o:.s,t
five—‘the three latter stilling for the prize. They
were ell alongside of each other-from Westminster-
bridge to Vauxhall•bridge, when Wyld laid hold of
Lewis's boat with his hand, which caused Mead to
pass them. This was adjudged foul, and the three
boats were started- again from Vauxhall Bridge, and

being nearly abeeast, Mead taking the lead until they
came to Westminster-bridge, when Mead arid 'Wyld
+owed into each other momentarily, which gave
Lewis, of Horsleydown, an opportunity of rowing
past them, and won the Prize When y, which was
