RYDE, MURSDAT EV11311)(11.
Last night the annnal regatta dinner was held at
Ilse Club-house. The Commodore, George Holland Aare's,
FN., presided ; the riee.chair was taken by the Vice.
lConineslore, Thomas Chamberlayne, Egg.
The business of the day set down upon the card consisted
'ef two races for 601. each, for cotters and schooners below-
bag to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. There were en
entries fur the first and three for the second. The entries
for the latter consisted of the Galatea, the Wildfire, and
the &nave ; but as the Wildfire is scarcely considered to be
fairy-built etbnooer, being ileecribed as merely a cutter
with two masts, the Galatea and Zoturre refused to make
as elk:mei:ice for difference of tonnage, and the rice went
et altogether.
The next rues on the card was a prize of UV., open to
'ratters of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. A time race, on
We arran.:ement of half Ackers's scale. A prize of IN. to
