TUESDAY'S REGATTA.

. Tills ramming the weather was specie/1y favourable
to yacht racing, though, being rather dark•looldag, it
did not promise so well for the p mons! comfort of
the three thousand and one visitors who swarmed in.
There wee a good deal of rutlesenese about the
Premier—where would he bs to-day Would be,
having fair notioe, go on board the committee boat,
and blow away the Borption fogs ruin his mighty
brain in • bit of play? Would the °soaked= bream
of Weymouth Ray be taken by him as head
now that he had found even the remotest alletn
Portland Roads DO safety from isvadon and interview-
ing by advanced Liberals? Or would he, Whig that
everywhere be was rembed, and even talked to, Ilse
back to the seclusion of the millionloopled city vast?
Sir Frederic Johnstone was on board the committee
bost—oould not the Premier'. chat-ability win a vote,
or lemon opposition? But Mr. liiegletooe made no
sign, sad thee onmitttee, with their expellent secretary,
Mr. Mangle, had to go as straight on with pleasure
work as the fancies of yacht-owners and the freaks
of • strong westerly wind would allow. Glad are we
that the obnoxious rule of the Yacht Racing Associa-
tion has been allowed to fall Into abeyance, as It had
alreedy tnt disrepute, and the committee been allowed
to make rules that would not give the prises when too
few yachts entered. Yet the first ram was marked
by • disappointment, for why didn't the pretty 40.t0n
gotten go? Why did «Inquiring Annssona leave the
wane to the schooner and the yawl So strong wee
expectation that some postively declared the utters
went, being another mule bow our eyes and not
glamor could have deceived u*. The answer is shniale
—they didn't, Miranda and Lorna went alone. This
