The championship of the Thames was decided on the Monday in the Epsom week, in a match from Putney to Mortlake, between the celebrated Robert Coombes and a pupil of his, not so well known to fame as Thomas Cole. The former champion was the favourite, at something like two to one; but, despite an extraordinary display of gameness on his part, had to succumb to "the young un"; who, in turf phrase, made most of the running, and won very cleverly by nearly a length.

The following caution, from a correspondent of a weekly contemporary, is too useful not to bear further circulation :—

DUCK-WEED.-Proprietors of fish-ponds should be duly apprised that the above aquatic nuisance is at this time beginning to extend itself over such waters as it has entered, and so rapidly does it increase that in the course of a month it becomes a perfect mat, covering the surface of ponds and stews so effectually that the fish are prevented from venting, and become eventually stifled and killed. A gentleman named Garrow, residing at Totteridge, near Whetstone, possessed a pond in his garden well stocked with very large carp, tench, and perch. The first throve prodigiously well until the duckweed made its appearance, when the fish died by wholesale, insomuch that a person with a rake would abstract a barrowful of decayed carp and perch in a very short time; and where ten years ago an abundance of fish was to be met with, at this day not one is left. The duck-weed is greedily devoured by water-fowl, and these birds are of effectual service in removing it from stagnant waters; but the early and constant application of the rake will keep down the destructive annoyance.
