THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.

COWES, FRIDAY EVENING.

The day that has been looked forward to here
with so much anxiety during the present week, as pregnant
with the most important results to the fame of the British
Royal Yacht Squadron, has at length arrived, and a few
hours will soon set at rest the many thousand coujectures as
to whether the Royal Yacht Squadron is still invincible.
On no occasion since the establishment of the club has so
general an interest been manifested as to any particular
v,e,el as has for some weeks pervaded all classes with re-
epect to the American clipper. She took a cringe yesterday
to the westward, and her sailing was the theme of general
admiration. _

A sweepstakes was got up last night among the members
of the Royal Yacht Squadron starting boats in the match,
and as an incentive to success, it was arranged that a purse
of 170 guineas should be the reward of the second yacht.
Before making any further observations on the events of
to-day, it will be necessary to revert to the race fur the
Subscribers' Cup of ti/. of yesterday. From starting the
Secret took the lead, accomplishing the first round as
under:

a. a. s.
Secret
Phantom
Blonde
The second round presented scarcely any change of their
relative positions, vie.:
Secret
Phantom
Blonde 1 59 30
On the third round the Phantom gained to a small extent
on the Secret, but to very little purpose, for the latter had
the issue entirely her own way. The third round was:
Secret
Phantom 9 46 0
Blonde 3 30 40
Whereupon Mr. Bell was declared the winner, adding an-
I other prize to his already large number.

The morning was beautifully fine, with a good breeze
from the westward, and in consequence of the celebrity
which this match has obtained throughout the island, the
beach extending from Cowes Castle to the end of the parade
was crowded with fashionable'', as the hour tot starting ap-
proached. In addition to the above list of vessels, the
Titania. R. Stephenson, Esq. ; Fernando, Major Martyn ;
and Stella, R. } rankland, Esq., were entered, but did not
make their appearance off the starting point. At five mi
mutes before ten the preparatory gun was fired. At ten
o'clock precisely, the final starting gun was fired, and in an
instant all was bustle and excitement. The utmost ala-
crity was displayed by the respective crews, and in less
than half a minute the whole fleet was under way. The
Gipsy Queen, however, first began to show her bowsprit
beyond the " ruck," followed by the Volante. The lone
took the third place. The utmost interest was all this time
shown as to what position the crack of the day would take,'
as she appeared at starting to be but leisurely following in
the wake of those we have named. Bets were freely offered
that if the weather was at all favourable she would carry
off the prize. The course ia round the Isle of Wight, and

the yachts started to the eastward, so that her Majesty,
from Osborne House, would have an opportunity of seeing
them ss they passed, and also affording a gratification to the
visitors at Ityde, Portsmouth, &e., to witness their progress.
Several steam-vessels from Southampton and Portsmouth
accompanied the squadron round the island, which is not
expected to return till late to•night.

COWES, FRIDAY, 10.30 r.st.
The 1001. Cup, after a most exciting contest, was won by
the America, which beat all her competitors with the
greatest ease. At the Nab the America shut ahead, and
at the Needles was seven or tight miles ahead of the
nearest. She carried away her jib-boom. The Arrow ran
ashore at Ventnor. There were no other casualties, though
it blew freshly from the S.S.W. outside. Many of thelaehts
have not yet returned. The Queen went off to the Needles
to see the race, and the royal yacht ran part of the way
home with the America. She rounded the Needles at eight
minutes to 6 o'clock, after which the wind died away, and
the rest of the match was a mere drifting race. The America
was loudly cheered by all ashore and afloat. The America
arrived at the starting vessel at 8.3.5 p.m.; the Aurora, 47
tons cutter, Mr. T. Le Merchant, at 8.55.
The correspondent of a morning paper (who says that the
Volante, It. Craigie, Esq., was the second-boat) writes:—
' It is said, so far as the winning of the cup is concerned.
the America has virtually lost the race, by not complying
with the sailing regulations. She went inside the Nab,
instead of outside. The second boat, therefore, no doubt
will be declared the winner by the committee. The start
was brilliant in the extreme. Eighteen yachts, of various
tonnage contested for the prize. The Alarm and the Ante.
rice were the last to get away from their moorings ; but off
Ryde the foreigner shut a-head of all her competitors, and
continued gradually to increase the gap between them ; in
short, her compeer appeared to have bad no chance in the
match whatever.
