ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.

°OWES, Almon 10.

In the account despatched on Friday afternoon,
the three yachts engaged in the contest for the Royal
Yacht Squadron Prins of 1001. —the Christabel, the Enid,
end the Phasma—had just completed thedrst round of the
sours., and had proceeded eastward again for the East Slur-
/aides buoy, the Chrystabel having only a lead of 20 swank
411 the Enid; baton returning westward againabouthalf-past
IPre, thoCivystabel had contrived to leave her larger effendi:
long way astern, fur she paved Cowes before the Enid
ens clear of Old Castle Point, and when timed at. a point
taken tram the Parade, she was found to hive • lead of
13 minutes. The Enid had to allow her a minute and &-
ball, and as thin was no chance of her overhauling the
sessied to, lowered ben mimosa; and
quietly brought up in the roads The Phnom at this point
had not hove in sight, and as the Chryalabei hid to allow
her only four minutes and a half, her chum was utterly.,
hopeless. The Christabel made the best of her way down
to Newtown, and showed herself to be a good seabost and
• weatherly vessel, wind sad tide being almost dead against
her. However, with topmast struck, sod • reef in her
mainsail, and still carrying the small jib on her disabled jib-
boom, she soon completed the course, and the gun
announcing her victory was fired at Vb. lam. Previous
to this the little Phaama contrived to beat down to Cowes,
but wisely enough ran into harbour and gave up the contest.
The America, it should be stated, was not in a condition
to start for the prize, as on the preceding day she was
ran into by • yacht off Ryde, and had her bowsprit gear
carried away.
