up in the usual manner, by subscription ; and we are
happy to learn, that it has been very warmly patronised
and supported by most, if not all, of the leading gentle-
men on the opposite side of the Mersey. The committee
for the present year consis'ed of Messrs. Jas. Cleworth,
William Nutt, Richard Dean, William Roberts, and
Leonard Fosbrooke ; and perhaps a more energetic body
could not have been selected for the purpose. The exer-
tions of the committee were most efficiently seconded by
Mr. and Mrs. Sharpies, of the Egremont Hotel, Mrs.
Dean, of the Black Horse, and Mrs. Roberts, of the
Yacht Inn, at the Magazines.
The weather, on Thursday, was delightful, and most
favorable for aquatic sports. An excellent view of the
racing was obtained from the windows of the Egremont
Hotel, which presented a goodly array of female loveli-
ness, and also from the headlands along the shore, Which

The racing was excellent, and afforded the utmost sa-
outline of the prizes and the
order in which the boats came in :

The first Was the MAGAZINE Cup, for sailing boats not
exceeding 10 tons; not more than three men in each
boat. The first boat received £2 ; second 15s.

Mr. Cleworth's boat took the lead, and kept it roub
the buoy off Egremont ; but in coming up to the starting
place, got too near in shore, lost the breeze, could not
catch it again, and had no chance after.

The four was the MAGAZINE PURSE, value 305., for four-

oared gigs.

Mr. Hughes's Brunette.. • • ' •
Mr. Sharples's Egremont Lion
A capital race between the Lion and Brunette, first one
and then the other taking the lead, and ended cleverly in
favour of the Brunette : a hard and well contested race•
The Lion would, it is believed, have been the winner had
it been for the breaking of one of her thole-pins.
The boats started at the Magazines. kept to the right
hand of the buoys, went round a boat moored off Egre-
mont, and returned to the starting place.
