ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA.

SECOND DAY.

11.1(1)E, WEI/NA/MAT EVYNINO.
At the time the boat left yesterday with the
despatch of the prof:n(ll.ga of the regatta up to that period,
the tint round for the rail. Cup by small.claas schoenen had
just been completed, the Bianca being slightly ahead of the
Princess Olga, and so evenly balanced were their respective
positions, that the greatest interest was felt in the ultimate
result of the contest between them. As regarded the
chances of the Vestal, of which so much was expected,
even on pasting the Brilliant on the first round, they ap-
pend to be entirely out of the question. It is the general
opinion, however, that had; there been the America's re-
quired six-knot breeze, the would hive proved that she
possessed all the qualities and qualificatiou for fast sailing,
and that, consequently, with the almost dead calm at times
of Tuesday, she has cot bade fair trial.
The following are the times at which the Nab Light was

In the second roundj the yachts arrived at the Ca!shot
Light at about 9 o'clock ; the tide wee then strong flood,
with very light wind, and a strong stream towards the
Southampton Water. Darkness soon after came on, nod
the yachts were obliged to feel their way by dropping the
lead line. The Bianca drawing less water than the
Princess Olga, stood closer in towards the chore,
and by that means she was eno'ulcd to gtin a
great advantage over her opponent, and was the first to
round the Brambles, but the precise time was dot taken.
The Princess Olga, from her greater draught of water, was
affected more by the flood tide, and consequently arrived at
the buoy .;r the Brambles a short time after the little
Bianco. 'like wind now entirely failed, a calm ensued, and
she drifted up to Rydo a few minutes before one o'clock
a.m. The Bianca, with the strong tide, and very light airs
that prevailed, however, succeeded in reaching the starting
vessel before her. The time of arrival was as follows :
Mow 11 44 0
P. lame 01ga
She was thus the winner. independently of the time that
could have been demanded from the Princess Olga for her su-
perior tonnage. We arc, however, informed that previous to
the start, in consequence of the very light breese, the Bianca
took out a large quantity of ballast, which no doubt gave
her a great advantage over her opponents who neglected to
avail themselves of this privilege, and they sailed in their usual
ordinary trim. It is probable that had they adopted a simi-
lar course the result might have peen different. We also
hear that Mr. Rutherfourd, the owner of the Princess Olga,
immediately on his arrival, under the authority of the 20th
rule of the sailing regulations of the Royal Victoria Club,
lodged a protest with the commodore of the club (0. 11.
Ackers, Esq ) ageing the cup being given to the Bianca,
under the authority of the 14th rule of the sailing regula-
tions, which requires that "All yachts above 30 tons are
to carry one of their own boats, such as shall be satisfactory
to the committee." Mr. Rutherfourd contends that the
Bianca has violated this rule in not earryiug a boat, as re-
quired, end that she in fact carried no boat at all.
This protest has been laid before a meeting of the mem-
bers of the committee ; but, up to the time the parcel was
despatched, the result of it had not transpired.
'1 he only match on the card for this day was fora Cup of
Fifty Pounds, to be sailed for by any cutter yacht of any
royal club, of 21) tons, 0.M., or above, being under .50 feet
in length. Victoria course, once round. Three started,
Lille, Sea Serpent, and Antagonist, and a close and ex-
citing race terminated in the victory of Sea Serpent.
