ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.

Yesterday a sailing match took place on the Thames
between three schooners belonging to this club. The
weather was fair, and the regatta proved attractive to a
large company, who embarked at London•bridge at nine
o'clock on board the steam-packet Prince of Wales, ex-
pressly.engaged for the occasion. On reaching Graves-
end the regatta commenced, the schooners, of which
list is subjoined, starting from a flag-boat opposite that
place at about six minutes before noon :

Shark
Mayfly
Wildfire .—,.. 59
The Dawn, belonging to Mr. Broadwood, was entered,
but did not start. The Mayfly canted sound in good style
and was the smartest in setting sail. The Shark fol-
lowed in close proximity, and the Wildfire was a bad
third. In the Lower Hope the Shark shot ahead of her
competitor, and kept the lead throughout. The yachts
rounded the Mouse Light in the folloWing order :

Shark 2h. 213 m.
Mayfly '
Wildfire • 2h. 46rn. 40s.
On the return voyage, so to speak, the Mayfly, during 6,
temporary lull, gained slightly on the Shark, but never
so much as to create a doubt of the result. The• vessels
reached the goal off Gravesend in the following order :
'Shark 6h. 43m.
Mayfly 59-m.
Wildfire 7h. sm. 30s.
The prize, a splendid cup, worth 100 guineas, was ac-
cordingly presented to Mr. Curling by Vice. Commodore
R. Green, who congratulated that gentleman on the
fact that he, so young a member of this club, had by his
excellent seamanship achieved so signal a victory. Mr.
Curling responded in a neat speech, and the steampacket
then returned to London-bridge, where she arrived safely
at about half-past 9 o'clock. In the absehce of Lord A.
Paget, Vice-Commodore Green presided at the regatta.
Among the company we observed Lord Southampton,
Sir R. Carnac, Mr, Gladstanes, Colonel Parker, Cap-.
tains Wheeler (the treasurer), Moore, and Primble, Mr.
Clowes, Mr. J. M`Caul, Mr. Warrell, &c. The fine band
of the Royal Horse Guards Blue, under the able diree-.
tion of Mr. Tilden, played throughout tho day, much to
the delight of the company. Mr. J. Watts did the
honours of the refreshment department, all the arrange-
ments of which were excellent. Seldom has a more
agreeable day been spent on the bosom of Old Father
Thames.
