SECOND MATCR.

.B_y_yachts under 6 tons, belonging to any club; for a
silver cup, presented by Henry Harrison, Esq.
Course : From Woodside Pier round a flag-boat sta.-
tioned off Brombro' Pool, thence round a flag-boat
stationed southward of the Dingle, back to flag-boat at
Brombro' Pool, thence round flag-boat southward of
Dingle, returning direct to south of Woodside Pier,
passing between the share and flag-boat, leaving the last
mentioned flag-boat on the starboard hand. All other
marks and flag-boats to be left on the port hand.
Tima Onc and a-half minutes up to five tons ; one

minute over.
The following yachts started :
Status. Names. Owners. Tons. Rig.
1 Barracouta 3. M. Hannay 31 Cutter
2 Waif D. Morrison 31 Ditto
3 Zephyr' R. Beaver si Ditto
4 Stella • Rear Commodore ...31 Ditto
5 White Squall . .A. C. Anderson 1k Ditto

The yachts were evidently unprepared for the signal
gun, except the White Squall, which got away ahead of
all the others, and kept the lead until the end, thus
winning the silver cup. Barracouta came in second.

THIRD MATCH.

This was a sailing match for river gigs. First prize,
£3 ; second prize, £2. Course—once round the above
course. The following gigs entered :
Names. Owners.
Nimble Thomas Hatton.
George John Green.
William and Henry I R. W. Potter.
Elizabeth W. Bennett.
Star of Teperance Thomas Dollison.
Mary T. Donelly.
I-will-if-i-can C.-Green. -
The start in this match was also very bad. Several of
the gigs got foul of the flag-ship, and unshipped their
masts ; but, as it happened, those who had the worst of
it in the outset fared best in the long run. " George"
unshipped both masts at the start, and yet won the
race ; and " William and Henry," which unshipped one
mast, came in second. The sailing of the two winners
was, therefore, all the more to their credit.

FOURTH MATCH.
For boats from the Akbar.—First prize £2 ; second
prize 10s. Course : once round the Floating Light,
moored off Tranmere. The rowing in this match was
remarkably good ; indeed, in the opinion of most
spectators, it was superior to anything else witnessed in
the course of the regatta. The following started :
Names. Length.
Never-too-late Ten-oared Cutter ... ...... 23 feet.
Xiss-me-quiek Five-oared Gig ............20 „
No-you-won't Ten-oared Cutter ......••.22 99
Perhaps-we-shall Ditto Ditto .......••26 „
Never fear
second by " Ditto Ditto ....... 25 „
The first prize was won by "Never-too-late," and the
Never-fear," the distance between the two
being almost nominal. _ _

FIFTH MATCH•
For man-of-war boats. First prize, £5; second Prize,
£2; third prize, £1; fourth prize, 10s. Course.—Once
round the Floating Light, moored off Tranmere, leaving
her on the starboard hand. The following started:—

H.M.S. Seamew Second Gig
The start was rather unequal, especially in the case of
Captain Mends' new gig, which unfortunately managed
to break an oar. This was evidently the best boat in the
race, as was proved by the result. The rowing of the
midshipmen altogether was about as fine as anything
ever seen on the Mersey. Her Majesty's ship Seamew's
Galley won the first prize. Captain Mends, of her Ma-
jesty's ship Majestic's new gig,
in spite of her misfor-
tune, came in second, only half-a-length behind the
Galley. The first cutter of her Majesty's ship Majestic
won the third prize. Her Majesty's ship Dapper's gig
came in fourth.
