Regatta there was a smart competition between the "Lord Warden" of Hastings, and the "St. Leonards" of St. Leonards for the first prize in one of the principal races, the former being first by a few feet only, but obliged to take the second prize through turning the wrong buoy. No fewer than twelve galleys were entered for this match. The "Brothers", of Hastings lost its chance of a good place in this match through generously rescuing from drowning of another boat's crew, and for which noble act the men were
loudly cheered. In the Brighton amateur match also, the "St. Leonards" brought off the second prize, whilst the Brothers took the third. The last-named boat gained a second prize (£3) in the Volunteer's match at Folkestone.
