ROYAL maim rAcar CLUB.

The first regatta this aeskaon of the above great
club took plane yesterday, and was attended by a most no-
ncoms and fashicnable party, accommodated on board the
Prince of Wale. (Capt. Williams), which had been char-
tered by the club for the occasion, and was well stored with
the creature comforts so essential to a day's pleasure.
The racing weewith the second, thir and fourth class
boats, the following being the entries :

The first of the two boats, named Folly, is from Col-
chester ; the other, from Southampton. The prises were for
the second class, two claret pop, wane 110 f., by Hancock, for
the winner ; for the third class, a silver tea wirrice, value
491., by Smith and Nicholson, for the first boat, and • 151.
cup for the second ; and for the fourth class, a silver tankard.
salts, AM., by Garrard, for the first boat, and a 101. tankard
for the second. The course was from Erith to Southend
for the second dam, and Erith to the Chapman Head for
the third and fourth ; all returning to the starting place
to Amish.

In the absence of the noble commodore Lord Alfred Paget,
NT. R. Green, the vies-commodore, had the com-
mend of the little beet, and the signal was given
at half-peat 1l o'clock to get reedy; five minutes
• elapiong between that and the start. The latter was
effected very admirably, and showed the anxiety of all pre-
mot to begin the race. The Thought set her canvas with
amazing swiftness., and was and in Wan, followed in a
second or two by the Phantom, the Thought leading with
the wind light from 8. W., and consequently favourable.
The Quiver, Kitten, Violet, and Laura, wine all round at
the same moment, and in the next their elegant spars were
covered with light cuirass, including very large topsails.
The Rifleman was all behind, and ►as she did not swing at
the same time as her opponents it was supposed that
her crew had not beard the signal gun. At Purgeet
the Thought led by a hundred yards the Phantom
was second, the Southampton Folly third, the Laura
fourth, Quiver fifth, Kitten sixth, Violet, Psyche,
and Folly bringing up the rear. At Greenhithe the Thought
was still further e.head of the Phantom, the Southampton
Folly and Laura being next, closely followed by the Kitten.
Bt. Clements the laws, aided by • lugger topsail and
balloon jib, made great way in advance of the Kitten,
Quiver, and Violet, but shortly afterwards the Laura gave
way to the Kitten and Quiver. There was • great deal of
expert eliding on all hands, and the yachts ultimately
rounded their respective points e• follows:

I. W. N.
Qui•er 1 56 10
Southampton Folly 1 56 15
Kitten 1 56 20
Laura 1 56 25
The Violet, Psyche, and other Yak being within five
minutes.

The rounding was wilerned with much pleasure,
the yacht., from their VOW di= position, forming •
vebeautiful picture. It wanted half an hour to
beginning to make, when the larger craft
stood over to the slack on the Easez aids? and
made preparations to begin the heavy work of turning up
ignition the dead weer which prevailed. The club steamer
left the Thought and Phantom new, and some time after-
wards overtook the smeller craft at Hole Haven, where
the Quiver wasrfoand leading, followed by the Laura,
Kitten, Violet, &uthanipton Pony, Psyche. the other Folly
and Kinsman bringing up the rear. Nothing occurred to
disturb the order al Hump save that the laws went
aground off the Coal-hoe s buoy, and there remained hard
and fast, while the Masa Violet, and Folly passed her,
and when she got pan agog all thanes of emcees vas hope-
less. After some Need sh>>wl =lig between the Threaght

number of gentleman's yachts accompanied the races.
