This day's regatta, although one of considerable
impornau, has been deprived of the presence of her
Majesty and the Boyd Family in oaasequenos of her •
aspartame ham the Wand, to visit the Channel Islands.
Her Manny left Osborne-houseboat evening shortly before
6 o'clock in the Victoria and Albert, attended by the
borne, the Fairy (Asses, the Vivid, and four screw steamers.
The weather was beautifully fine, and a large number of
perms were assembled on the nub, who vociferously
cheered ea her Majesty passed down the Solent. Her de-
parture at this particular time is greatly regretted, se to-day
was sppoiated for the town regatta, at which her Majesty
Is slime Invariably present.
The race on the card for this day was for one hundred
lonereigu, to be sailed for by all yachts, English sad
Forage, blaming to any yacht club, exceeding 36 tons,
mending to the usual regulations of the Royal Yacht
Squadron. Time for tonnage according to Acken's Bun.
The tonnes* lobe measured in the following manner :—Tboa
length to be taken between the perpendiculars, drawn from
the extreme outside of the main steering, and the extreme
outside of the &tampon. From the length thus formed
substract three-fifths of the extreme breadth, as determined
by the o:d inewernment act of parliament. Multiply the
remainder of the length by the whole breadth, the pro-
duct by halt the breadth, and divide the whole by 94, the
quotient shall be deemed the true contents of the tonnage.

' As wad, at am minutes before ten the preparatory
gun was fired, and at ten punctually another gao for
starting was fined, and in an almost incredibly short
space of time, the Mosquito began to soin ahead of the
others, the neat to break from the line being tce Olson%
this pair for a short time keeping company ; but in mom-
questa of the greet delay on board the Mosquito in setting
her immense jib topsail, hitherto set with such alacrity by
this mad, the (Mena obtained the lead, the Amazon fol-
lowing ekes upon the quarter's( the Mosquito. The (lanes
was thefts* be set Ms momail, sad seemed to be exceedingly
well handled. The ethers, with the eamption of the Whirl-
wind, got away pretty well together, going with a tolerably
good breeze from the south-west, and with the tide.
At 6 minutes to 11, when off Osborne House, the Amasoas
who had succeeded sturdy alit r passing Olen otle Poiat in
overhauling the Mosquito, now came up abreast of the
(lance, bat in their wake they were closely pressed by the
Mosquito and Extravegaeza. For a short time the Amazon
took the lead, bat moon gave way, and the Whirlwind
assumed the leading position. The breeze here freshening,
the vessels carrying more canvas soon begsn to display their
powers, and, after a good deal of what is commonly known
by the term " dodging," the Lolworth emerged from the
" ruck," sad took the eseond place, the Mosquito being
close Wert. The Whirlwind was the leading vessel abreut
of Hyde Pier at 11b. 41m., the Laiwortb second at
11h. 46m. 30 leo., and the Mrsequito third at Ilk. 47m. The
others, with the exception of the Cyclone, were to near to
each other, that we were unable to time them, but they
