Maidstone Regatta.—

The committee of the Maidstone regatta being unable, from various circumstances, carry out their intention of getting up regatta this season, and having a balance of £7 12s. 9d. in hand, from the subscriptions of last year, have resolved upon dividing the same between the Kent County Ophthalmic and West Kent General Hospitals, and trust this decision will meet with the approbation of those who contributed to the regatta funds.
