At four o'clock they started from Blackfriars.bridge,
with a westerly wind ; when the Mary took the.lead,
unich she retained to Putney-bridge, When, unfortu-
'lately, she lost her rudder, and consequently fell
a,terti., The S.tlly and Acrise then shot ahead, and
kept alorg-side each other till nearly the close of the
contest, when the Sally darted forTmard, and came in
first by nearly a boat's length. The other boats came
in as above arranged. This match was admirably
unpaid, and afforded a. high nautical treat, as the
competitors displayedgnore skill in tacking and ma-
noeuvring on an adverse wind, than has been wit-
nessed for many years. The frequent showers caused
the spectators to be less numerous than we have fre-
quently wideised on similar occasions ; but as the
evening advanced the Gardens filled to an overflow,
to see the Cup, which was filled with three bottles of
wine,. delivered to Captain Hamond ; after which
a Naval Gala commenced, and couclnded with a bril-
liant display of fire-works.
