won by a head on Bally Edmund. Spitfire Kitty was a bad
third, Gibraltar fourth, Miss Pickle filth, and Fisherman's
Daughter last.

Tho Nursery Plate (Handicap) of 100 Bove., for two•yr.

Of the nine vessels entered only three started—the Ma-
rina, Albertine, and Volante. The start was effected at 10
a.m., with the wind light from the N N.E., with the tide
flood and the commencement of the course to the eastward.
The Marina took a good lead, followed by the schooner,

with Volante last. The Noma Fort staging was passed by
the Marina at 10h 24m 20s, the Albertine at 10h 25m 40s,
and the Volante at 10h 27a, 15s. in running past the
Warner the Albertine and Volante luffed off, apparently
playing with each other, a circumstance the Marina took
advantage of by keeping a straight course for the Nab and
increasing her lead. The breeze now freshened a trifle from
she N E., and the Albertine and Vaante made close after
the Marina for the Nab. The bretz3 again fell, and when
the three vessels were about half way between the Noreen
and the Nab they lay nearly becalmed for some time. At
20 minutes past 11 the Volante brought up a light breszi-

about between W.S.W. and W.N.W., but i,
' kept up its
strength as the yachts ran down for the Nab, the Volante
passing the Notnan 2m. 103 ahead of Albertine, and the
Marina at the same time just completing het,

The wind rather moderated as the yachts approached Spit-
head from the Nab, and as the rules of the Royal Victoria
Yacht Club specify that any race not completed by sun-
down must be considered null and void, and sailed over
again another day, there was a probability that the racf,
would not be brought to a conclusion Y"terday if the wind
should head the yachts or fall off in strength down the west
channel. At 6t5 p.m. the Albertine, with a temporary
jibboom rigged out and jib set, was.st g - standing d•o w n through
the western end of Stokes Bay. with the Volante a short
distance to windward. The race was now very close be_
tween the two, and it was impossible to say (making
allow-
ance for the time to be given by the Volante to the Alber-
*ine) which had the best ,of i' the cutter or the schooner.
The Marina was astern far enough to be considered quite
, out of the race. _ .

The Albt,rtine won the Ladies Prize by Im. 10a.

The Ladies' Plate is an elaborately chased silver ink-
stand in the Etruscan style, containing three beautiful
Greek vases, beaded and wreathed with antique scrolls,
The pen-trays surrounding it are richly ornamented with
floral designs of great beauty. The selection of this ele-
gant and useful prize does credit to the good taste of the
committee. The whole weighs upwards of 900 z., and waq
supplied by Mr Barnard, silversmith, Ryde, It bears the
tollowing inscription :—" The Ladies' Plate, presented to
the Regatta of the R. V. Yacht Club, 1864."
