BIGATTA.—The Poole Regatta of the Isle of Pur-
beck Yecht Club came off on Saturday last, but
several untoward circumstanoes prevented its being of
successful as usual. By the severe weather which pre-
vailed all last week, the yachts Seadrift, 25 tuns, and
Mariposa, 15 tons, which were entered for the principal
match were prevented from arriving in time to start,
so this match fell through. However, there was a good
race in the 2111. class, for which the entries were as
follows :
Yacht Blg Length
White Dove Yawl 20ft.
Blue dell Cutter 21ft.
Nameless Sloop lift.
The latter, • new craft, was not ready in time, but
interest was added to the match by another new boat,
although not entered, trying her panes very creditably
with the Blue Bell, a well known fast little craft. After
a hard sailed contest, with &slashing breeze in Poole Har-
bour, the Blue Bell (L. IL Leer, Req.), came in ahead
of the White Dove ( IL Bamford, Esq.), but we under-
stand there was • protest by the latter against the
former, on the ground of her not having kept the
proper course, so that the prizes (13 and £2) are not
yet awarded. A crowd was assembled on the Quay
to view the finish, which evidently excited local
Interest. Had it been known that post entries cannot
be received under the 'failings Rides of the Yacht
Racing Association, the Jockey Club of yachting,
there would have been mere entries in all the matches.
The 16ft. race fell through, there being only one entry,
the Iris (Mr. E. A. Robinson), which failed to arrive
owing to the strong wind. W. Tamer, Fag., rear
commodore of the club, and G. B. Aid-ridge, Req.,
n. treasurer, were on board the committee vela
and sups rintendel the racing arrangements.
