ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLl79.—The yachting
season ea the Thames commenced yesterday with a cutter
match between 'meth belonging to members of the above
club. The weather was delightfully fine, and a who!e-sall
breast blew from K&R, making a turn down to the Non
and a ran back. dodging from the entries for this mat* '
cilitetine on the Thames does not promise to be touch .
this year than it was last ; but, doubtless, the pre.
peed Channel merchant as usual will secure large entries. '1
There was to have bean another match sailed yesterday bet •
tween small outsets, bet only two entered, and the °eared

would undertake to give bite lOe in ease of being beaten. •

the Lena to sail ever the course and take the prize. This
was a sensible proceeding, and if other dubs would follow "
the example, we should hear lees of yachts refusing to "I
start without preposterous time allowances and other eon-
elderations. The Eagle steamer, with some members of
the club and a few ladies on beard, eatiompaated the
match ; the band of the let Life Guards was alto os
board. and played throughout the day.
