First heat won easily, the second by a head, and the

We nay perhaps be allowed to remark on the singular
a-curacy of the anticipations in our la,t number as to the
exults ut these races.

LATEST BETTING AT MANCHESTER.
Not a het made at noon worth noting. The field had
the call uf Ithuriel, ":all in," some doubts existing as to
his starting. The style in which he won his race will
pace him very conspicuous as a candidate for Doncaster.
Nothing, up to a late hour, in the way of figures have
passed. _

After the race, the Era was backed, at Aintree, in hun-
dteds, at 7 to 1, more than once, for the Goodwood
Stake.

EASTHAM REGATTA.

[The following (to which we have made some additions)
appeared in our third edition of last week.]

The first Regatta that ever took place at Eastham came
off this day, and afforded a delightful recreation to some
thousands of persons, not only from the excellence of the
spots themselves, and the subsidiary amusements, but
from the beauty of the scenery, rural and marine, and the
general hilarity and good humour that prevailed through-
out. The day was beautifully clear, with a refreshing
breeze from the northward ; and from the fine sloping
pleasure-grounds of the hotel, and the still more roman-
tic line of shore near it, the diversity of prospect was truly
charming, the several contests being seen to much advan-
tage, as well as the fine expanse of the grand basin of the
Mersey, bounded on Cie north and south by the wooded
shores of Lancashire and Cheshire, while the great west-
ern emporium of commerce loomed in the distance.
It being announced that the Eastham steamers would
run every half hour, their decks were crowded to excess,
and in one of them Mr. Stubbs's excellent band took pas-
sage to the scene of action—having been engaged for the
day.

The EASTHAM CUP, value 10 Guineas; (in specie,)
for Four-oared Gigs, to be rowed and steered by Fisher-
men or Boatmen plying on the rivers Dee or Mersey ; the
second Boat to receive £3 3s.—Entrance, 10s. each Boat.
The Little Mersey. John Murphy. •
The Midge, W. Griffiths .•. .
The Nettle, J. Murphy
A well contested race between the first and second
boats, both of which belonged to Liverpool, and was won
by about 200 yards. The distance was about 3 miles.
The LADIES' PURSE, value 2 Guineas, for Fisher.
men's Boats, to be rowed by women residing in the
Hundred of Wirrall, Chester, or Liverpool ; the second
Boat to receive IN.—Entrance, 2s. each Boat.
The Midge ........ 1
Little Mersey
Considerable merriment was occasioned by this race—
each of the contending parties wearing party colours, and
each confident of success. Immediately after the start
the Little Mersey unavoidably got foul of a fishing boat,
Had this not occurred, though the women of the Midge
were the decided favourites, there is little doubt that the
Little Mersey would have been the winner. It was
finally decided that the Midge should receive £2, and the
Little Mersey, 12s.

The 1100 TON CUP, value 20 Guineas, given by Sir
William Massey Stanley, Bart., added to a Sweepstakes
of 3 Guineas each, for Four-oared Gigs, to be rowed
and steered by Gentlemen Amateurs, (open to all the
world ;) the Second Boat to receive 5 Guineas out of
the Stakes.—Entrance, One Guinea each Boat.
The Earl, Chester Club Boat, No. 1 " The Earl"., 1
Queen
Amphitrite
These were all Chester boats belonging to the same club,
and, of course, carried the prizes ; but it will be seen be-
low that a lamentable accident occurred in the contest.
A PIECE OF PLATE, value 5 Guineas, for Skiffs, to
be sculled by Gentlemen Amateurs, the gift of the Pro-
prietors of the Eastham Ferry.—Entrance, 10s. each
Skiff. _ _ _
