Hampshire Chronicle, Southampton and Isle of Wight Courier: August 5th 1865 

Southampton Amateur Regatta Club: The annual regatta commenced Tuesday and concluded Wednesday. The attendance of yachts in the river was very poor, owing probably to the committee not having made arrangements to prevent their regatta clashing with the meeting of the Royal Yacht Squadron at Cowes, and the Cowes Town Regatta. … (description of events )… The concluding but not the least interesting match of the day was for a prize of six sovereigns, for two-oared boats not exceeding 30 feet in length, manned by members of the S.A.R. Club: Heats:  1st boat to receive £3; 2nd, ditto, £2; 3rd, ditto £1: The entries were as follows:  Gorilla –  Beaton, Shergold and McCormac; Ariel – Bartlett, Gordon, and W. Weston; Waterwitch – Bienvenu, Webster, and John Barnard; Amberwitch – C. Hall, H. Pinsent, and H. Bonsustow. The start was no means a good one, the last-named boat immediately taking this position in the contest. The Gorilla went off leading, followed by Ariel and Waterwitch in succession, but in rounding the mark boat Ariel took first place, which she maintained throughout this and the succeeding heat The prizes as awarded were – 1st Ariel; 2nd Gorilla; 3rd Waterwitch. A duck hunt in an interval between the rowing matches terminated in favour of the duck – The subsequent day’s sport will be found in another page.

Hampshire Advertiser: Saturday 5th August 1865

THE SOUTHAMPTON REGATTA: These sports have now assumed the dimensions of a permanent and vigorous existence. It originated in the efforts of some spirited owners of very small craft, and by careful management and increasing support it has been perfectly matured. The display of bunting continues for two days instead of one. The prizes have been sufficiently large to engage the competition of first-class yachts. … (continues with description of events …) …  The last match was for a Prize of Six Sovereigns, for two-oared boats, not exceeding 30 feet in length, manned by members of the Southampton Amateur Regatta Club: Heats: First boat, £3; second £2; third, £1. It resulted as under: — Ariel – Bartlett, Gordon, and W. Weston 1 1: Gorilla – Beaton, Shergold, & McCormac 2 2: Waterwitch, Bienvenu, Webster and J. Barnard 3 3: Amberwitch – C. Hall, H. Pinsent, and H. Bonsustow 4 0. This concluded the first day’s sport, and the company on board the station vessel then made their way to the shore in wherries and boats, a number of which were lying along- side the Hawthorn all day.

Wesleyan Bazaar at the Royal Public Rooms: A grand bazaar for the sale of useful and ornamental goods was opened on Wednesday at the Royal Public Rooms for the purpose of assisting the building fund of the Wesleyan Chapel and Schools, Southernhay. It will be recollected that this place of worship, previously known as Christ Church, and successively occupied by the Free Church and Presbyterians, was purchased in the autumn by the Wesleyans and opened about a month ago for divine service … (description of the event and stalls – includes) … No. X. owned the presidency of Mrs. J. G. King, assisted by the Misses Widlake (2) of Barnstaple, Miss Smith and Miss Pinsent. An artistic taste pervaded the arrangement as well as the selection of articles for this richly furnished stall. The centrepiece, as we may say, was a first class engraving of the “Two Marys at the Sepulchre,” by Neil, the frame enriched with ladies leatherwork by the Misses Widlake, This picture was flanked by a pair of beautiful drawings in coloured crayons by Mrs. King.  A pair of Parian statuettes; Greek water carriers – on very elaborate leatherwork brackets, also by the Misses Widlake were much admired as were a pair of fire screens ornamented with coloured flower drawings by Mrs. King. There was, here, a choice selection of terra cotta and majolica ware – vases, pots and various articles both ornamental and useful. … … Miss Pinsent contributed many articles of elegant needle work – that ottoman she finished which was commenced by the hands laid low in the grave before the generous task they had found to do was completed – the late Mrs. Brock.

Western Daily Mercury: Thursday 24th November 1864 

A New Carpet: A company has recently been formed for the purpose of manufacturing a carpet which is admirably suited for offices, passages, halls, and other places where a substantial fabric is required. Its main component material is cork, and it has a webbed under-surface. It is soft and pleasant to the tread, and it has this very great advantage over the cord carpets, that it does not allow the absorption of dust, and may be swept and washed just as any floor. We understand that it is a shilling a yard cheaper than the Kamptulicon. The local agents of the company are Messrs. Pinsent of Devonport.
