AQUATIC'S.

ROYAL SOUTHERN YACHT CLUB.

After the conclusion of the match between the Volante
and Arrow, on Wednesday, for her Majesty's Uold Cup,
the minor sports commenced, consisting of matches between
watermen's boats, tishing-hoats, four•oared gigs, wherries,
'cullers Bee., the whole of which were uncommonly well
contested, and atihnled much amusement to the crowds of

sight•seekers on shore and afloat. It was somewhat late in
the evening before the termination of the sport..
The river throughout the day presented en animated
appearance. There were yachts of all classes moored offthe
town, many of which were dressed out in flags of various
nations.

The ball in the evening, at the Club-house, in honour of
the birthday of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, was
attended by most of the gentry in the town and neighbour-
hood.

Thursday was the fixture for the annual meeting of the
club and the dinner. The former was attended by nearly
all the members nt the rendezvous, and went off very satis-
factorily. Several new members were admitted, and the
following committee chosen for the ensuing year, viz. :
The Earl of llchester, Hon. Augustus Berkeley; Colonels
Farquharson. Phipps, Crabbe, and Gore Browne. 8.A.;
Captain Bold, It.N.; Edward Coxwell, Thomas Ruther-
ford, John Fitter, Peter Dickson, and William Roemer,
Emirs.
The dinner took place in the evening at the Club llouse,
Captain O'Brien in the chair.
Yesterday (Friday) the Challenge Cup, presented by the
town, was sailed for. It is of the intrinsic value of lOU
guineas, silver gilt, and weighs 14 ounces. It is un-
doubtedly the best prize that has been sailed for this season
on the coast. The course was from a buoy off the pier to
the Calshot lighthouse. three times round, thus keeping the
sport within view of the town.
It was a time race, according to Mr. Aekers's gra-
duated scale, open to all yachts belonging to royal yacht
clubs, and to any vessel belonging to the port of South-
ampton, with the usual stipulations incident to challenge
cups. The notice was so short, that only five yachts
started, the owner of the Volante very honourably declin-
ing to contend for the prize, having carried off two on the
previous days. The signal gun was tired at halt-past
eleven o'clock, when the following vessels immediately got
under weigh and proceeded down the river with a mode-
rate easterly breeze:
