ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA.

BYRE, TOVIDAY EVINING.
The Royal Victoria Yacht Club is the sister club
to the Royal Yacht Squadron, both being under the imme-
diate patronage of her llajarty, and both being equidistant
from the marine residence at Osborne, and therefore the
recurrence of the annual regatta naturally becomes one of
the important events of the year.
The race of this day was for a prize, value 50i., open to
small yachts, belonging to any royal yacht club, decked
vessels, of any rig or clan, not over 60 feet in length on or
below the water line ; time race, about one minute per

At 25 minutes past ten o'clock the preparatory gun was
fired, and in five minutes more another gun was fired for
starting. The Folly and Quiver did not appear at the
starting-pest. The course was from abreast of Byde Pier,
peening the No-man Buoy, round the Nab Light, round
the block buoy of the Middle, and back to Ryde. Twice
round. The No-man Buoy to be left on the starboard hand,
rounding the Nab Light, leaving it on the port-hand, re-
turning to and leaving the No-man Buoy on the port-hand,
rounding the Western Buoy of the Middle, and leaving that
on the port-hand, and back to the starting-vessel, passing
between it and Ryde Pier.
At starting, the wind was blowing from the W.N.W., but
somewhat variable. The Thought was the first to cant
round and get away, taking the lead, followed by Glance,
the Cymba being astern. The breeze was blowing strong
at the time, which was soon turned to account by the
Cymba, for she overhauled and passed her rivals, taking the
lead, and on coming abreast of Ryde Pier at the completion
of the first round they were timed as follows :

They then proceeded as the second round of the mums
towards the eastward, with a strong westerly breeze, and
rounded the Nab Light an follows, when the Cymba was
seven minutes ahead of the Glance, and the Glance a
minute and a half ahead of the Thought.
The rare was now virtually decided, for the Cymba had
it completely her own way, for what with her larr boom.
tog sails and the excellent way in which she was bandied,
ohs left her rivals far astern. Having rounded the western-
most Amoy of the Middle, she came up towards the starting
point with her balloon jib and gaff topsail at a tremendous
speed, and on coming abreast of the Brilliant schooner the
signal gun proclaimed her the winner. The time of the
arrival of the yachts was as follows :

The prize, therefore, goes to the Cymba, whose fame in
Scotland and Ireland is se well known es having gained
ntunerons prizes. She has reeently come into the purseesion
of Captain Smith Barry, of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and
appears wall qualified still to maiutein her former repu-
/sum.
Tbs Folly, 12 tons, cutter (W. L Parry, Fp., of the Royal
Thames Yacht Club), and the Quiver, 12 tons, cutter (Thos.
Chamberlayne, Easq., Royal /Southern Yacht Club), will
