ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB.

OM Saturday the mond match of this year of the
Royal London Yacht Club took plan. The contest was
confined to third clue vessels not exemeding 13 tone, end
it was a time mete)', one minute per ton being allowed by
the heavier to the lighter boats. I' he club chartered a very
fine steamer, the Mars, on board whisk a number of their
friends were invited. Twelve of the Royal Artillery Band,
under Mr. Smith, the band muter, were engaged, and
played an excellent selection of mule during the trip
down the river, and several of the musicians afterwards ex-
changed their wind instruments for violins, when dancing
on deck was commenced. The steamer unshed Erith shoat
half-put 11, when the following yukte were soon after
started. No. 1, Fawn, 13 toss, F. T. Biddle, By. ; No.
2, Roeso, 10 tons, S. P. Mastoid, E.q. ; No. 3, Alicia, 12
ton., H. Pickett, Esq. ; No. 4, Valentine, 9 taws, J.
Tradglsy, Esq. ; N 0.6, Blue-Eyed Maid, 6 tens, W. Trick-
well, Req. ; No. 6, hills, 8 tow, Dr. Um. As seen
as the yachts got ander way they isommiestied
besting down the river towards Tilbury Fort, when they
were to sail round a boat sad return up to North Woolwich.
At first the Fawn and Romp took the lead, but soon after
they were passed by the Julia, followed by the Alicia, the
others being somewhat behind. Several variations in the
pititioa of the other boats occurred; but the Julia kept
her lead. closely followed by the Romp, except for a very
abort time, but she immediately recovered it, and suns la
the winner by en almost imperceptible advantsp over thit
Romp. At the close of the race we understood that the
relative wiling of the vessels stood thus: —Julia,
4h. 1 foie. 36 see.; Romp, 41i. 1 min. 36 see.; Fawn,
41,. 10 sin. 30 sec. ; Alicia, 4k. 12 rain. 30 sec. The other
boats came in shortly afterwards at intervals. The initiated
were of opinion that it wee a very mart and well-contested
van, and that cossidetable skill was exhibited in handling
the rosette, in a wind which woe calculated to tett
the readiness end promptitude of the mews. The
Int priv, of 2W , was formally presented to the
winner, Dr. Bain, on the (muter deck of the Mars, by 8.
P. Mustard, Req., the commodore of the club. The second
boat was entitled to W. The weather during the monis;
was cloudy and chilly, lent towards the of the ens
broke out, and a change so delightlal took place that when
the ran was over, about bar o'clock, at the suggeslim of
Mr. Munaford, the steamer ran dawn again to Erith, so as to
enable the company to renew the dancing, which was kept
up with pleat spirit until tin return of the vessel to North
Woolwich, about haltpest an. The saaapany were dim=
basked at Blecawall and Loadoa-bridge, having enjoyed •
very pleasant day; perhaps owing as much a anything to
the absence of a crowd, the visitors being just sufficient
for sociability. A great many yachts noconaected with the
