The Times publishes an account, written by a special correspondent who was on board the winning vessel, the Henrietta, of the great ocean yacht nee. After describing the scene presented up to the return of the strainers which accompanied the yachts for an hour or two on the day of starting, the writer says " Each captain now chose his own course, the Fleetwing keeping to the northward, the Henrietta holding the Euro pean steamer track, and the Vesta evidently making for the northern passege. At 6 p.m., the wind blowing steadily fromlV.N. W. we lost sight of the Fleetwing in the darkness ; but the Vests was still abreast, looking like a phantom ship in the dim starlight. The Henrietta now increased her speed, rocking over the waves as gently as a cradle, and at 8 o'clock the Vesta had disappeared. We saw neither of our rivals again until they came into Cowes. Songs and stories in the cabin, and heavy snow squalls on deck, marked our first night at see. The next day was bright and cold. We carried all sail, making 11 knots an hour until noon, when the Henrietta was struck by s heavy snow squall, and the topsails had to be taken in. During the 23 hours we had made 225 knots by observation, and 237 by log, and found ourselves in bit. 401 deg., and long. 68'52. The wind was northerly, and came is strong gu sts . At 415 p.m. we passed the steamer Cuba, and at 9 o 'clock another steamer, to both of which we showed our racing signal, receiving prompt replies. Simnel selling vessels were sighted, but they all kept away from us as aeon as we showed out dark blue flag, as if be lieving the canard that the yachts were Fenian privateer.

Messrs. Lyons and Jones, who headed the two watches into which the crew was divided, vied with each other in handling the yacht carefully, and through this storm, as throughout the entire voyage, the Henrietta had ll the canvas she could safely carry, but not an inch more • consequently her speed was steadily maintained, but nothing was strained and nothing carried away." At noonon the second nautical day the Henriettahad , scored 210 miles by chart and 232 by log, the discrepancy 1 being amounted for by a mutant which had caused her to I drift 20 miles to the south-west. Nothing was in sight ex ) cept nooks of gulls and Mother Carey's chickens. In the cabin the guests listened to the captain's stories of haunted ships and dismal wrecks in the Southern Ocean. I Towards midnight the weather, which had been fine, changed, and repeated squalls, with rain and hail, struck the ten y craft and bowled her along at the rate of 11, 12, and 13 miles an hour. At sunrise next were a morning a snow-storm began, and sea and sky of deep slate-colour. No observation could be taken, but by dead reckoning 225 miles had been gained during the last 24 hours. "As night fell," says the SHANGHAE, Nov. is. writer, " the yacht sailed faster and man as we looked over the side where the waves came Tea : Congou active and advancing.

A Way., came bursting through the skylight into the cabin. All night long this heavy weather continued, but the yacht run so easily before the free wind that everybody slept as quietly as if the Henrietta were the Great Eastern." In the grey of the following morning, Sunday, the liitle the yacht, while crossing the Grand Banks, passed a brig bound for Newfoundland, the crew of which climbed the rigging sad stared at the Henrietta, dashing swiftly along as though they beheld the Flying Dutchman. At noon 248 miles had been accomplished fur the day, and one-third the distance to Cowes. Amid whistling whale and spleshing waves the prayers for the day were re- I peated, and a chapter from the Bible and a short senuon of Jay's read.

CHASES—Wardtiarme. Favoured as the Ealing meeting was to-day with brilliant weather, and falling on Boxing-day--one of the most popu lar of Cockney holidays—it could scarcely have been - other than suocessful ; bat the enormous attendance exceeded the meet sanguine expectations of the promoters, whose coffers will be very considerably augmented from the pro ceeds of the gates. The Great Western Railway Company ran special trains from Paddington at frequent intervals, and each of them was heavily laden with pleasure seekers, while the Sys and other conveyances for the accommoda tion of visitors also did a good business at the Ealing end of the line. The course is pleasantly situated about one and undulating, the recent rains had mile and a half from the Ealingstation,butbeing composed of low-lying land, had the effect of rendering it somewhat soft, but the com mittee had provided plenty of straw in the ring, and laid down planks from the gate to the entrance to the stand, so that walking in the mud was much obviated. The " going," however, was somewhat heavy, but the weather keeping fine all the afteruoon,the outing masa very enjoy able one for the Londoners. As will be seen from the ap pended returns, the fields for the five races set for don non to-day were very large, but as the details are given below, comment on the running is unnecessary. The committee of inansposene -made excellent arrangements, notwithstanding which the shades of evening act in before the last race was decided.
