PRINCE OF WALES YACHT CLUB.

The regatta for prizes is this excellent club took place
yesterday with the following yachts :

First Class.

Yachts. Tons. Owners.
Duda
Folly
Satanella l2 .... Captain P. Bennett
Alexandra l5 .... Mr G. Harrison
Second Class.

Vision
Aerolite
Algerine

The prizes were a silver cup value £25 for the first class,
and a cup value £2O for the second class, both handsome
pieces of plate by Benson, and the course was from Erith
to the Chapman Head Light and back.
The Oread steamer, Captain Wheeler, as usual, accom.
panied the race, and it is almost needless to say that under
his direction everything was most satisfactory. Mr. Long,
owner of the Octoroon, the vice-commodore of the club, and
Mr. Sadlier, the rear commodore, officiated on board the boat
in the absence of Mr. Harrison, the commodore, who was
engaged in the race. _ _ _

The start took place at Oh, 45w. 305., the wind being
E.S.E. They all started together, canting to northward ;
the Alexandra being in the strength of the tide led into the
roads, followed by the others in the order of their stations.
Directly after this the Folly had to go about to escape some
craft, and the Alexandra making a board went well in ad-
Vance, followed by the Satanella, Folly, and Dudu. In the
small boats the Vision took a trifling lead, but the Algerine
immediately shot by her and went away with a great lead,
which she increased all the way down, exhibiting first class
power to windward. At Purfleet the Folly passed the Sa-
tanella to windward, the Alexandra still leading by a couple
of boats' lengths. The Dudu and Satanella now had a
smart race, and the former got the third place, The Alex-
andra still continued her lead until off Gravesend, where,
while shifting her topsail, the Folly passed her to windward
and took the first place. At this time the Algerine had

lIENLEY-ON-THAMES GRAND ANNUAL
RE GAT TA,
This annual grand aquatic carnival, which is fixed to
take place on the 23d and 24th of June, is likely to be shorn
of some of its interest in consequence of the anticipated
absence of the Oxford Trinity Boat, which, during the late
races at Oxford, maintained its position as head of the
river. The University College Boat Club, which carried
off so many prizes at Henley last year, however, we are
happy to learn will again put in an appearance, both with
a four and eight ; and Mess's. \Voodgate, the ex-Amateur
Champion of the Thames, and Mitchell, the winner of the
Oxford University Silver Sculls, will most prokbably en_

counter the inter-University Champion Mil© Runner, Mr.
Lawes, of Cambridge.

The meeting of the Eton and Radley Eights will, as
usual, attract considerable attancion, and as both crews are
said to be first-rate, a good race may be anticipated.
The following notification has been issued with respect
to the Wyfold Challenge Cup :—" Any amateur club or
crew shall be qualified to enter for this prize, but no crew
nor individual member of a crew shall row for this cup and
the Stewards' Cup at the same regatta.',

The fixture for Henley this year is very inconvenient as
regards Oxford, as the Commemoration will be held un-
usually early, viz., on Wednesday, June the Bth,

ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY,

Yesterday the first, and at this time of the yerlr the best
flower show of the season, was held at the gardens of the
society, which were crowded throughout the day. As a
floral nisplay, it was one of the finest of its kind, in SOMe
respects, that has ever been witnessed bat a. 4 at 7 outdoor
fete it was not so successful as might be desired. The flowers
were arranged along the new arcades, which have been
glazed and coloured, and which were tried yesterday for the
first time, Perhaps more ventilation is needetb for during
the early part of yesterday the air was ties@ and the arcades
were heavy with the perfnmeef the flowers, but the mistake
was on rectified by opening more windows, so that towards
the close ef the display the atmosphere was all that could be
wished. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, with
the Princess Louis of Hesse and Prince Arthur, were among
the ee.iliest visitors. and remained for nearly an hour and a
Leif inspecting the magnificent collection of flowers which
were exhibited. From Mr. Turner's nurseries at Slough
came such azaleas as in excellence have never yet been seen
at any flower show before. They were solid cones of bloom,
nearly Gft high. Mears. Paul and Sons also sent, as they
usually de, a Magnificent collection of roses, and Messrs.
Veitth some exquisite specimens of the new and rare plants
which attracted so much attention at the soiree of this so-
ciety the other evening. There was also a very fine dis-
play of pelargoniums; but in heaths and ferns—generally
two of the most attractive classes—there were few plants
shown and none of a kind to deserve special mention. Ap-
parently the most interesting prizes were those given for
flowers used as table decorations, in which, as will be seen
by the prize hat, three lady amateurs took the chief prides,
Miss March's bouquets shown in the glass stands designed
by Mr March, which have taken all the chief prizes, were,
it was generally thought, better entitled to the first honours
than second; while Miss Wint's third prize, shown in Mr
Naylor's stands, was fully equal to any of the decorations
exhibited. The show of rhododendrons in the wonderful
tent of Capt. Fowlres's design was more crowded through-
out the day than oven the flower show proper. Anything
more beautiful than this collection of rhododendrons, in all
their rich varieties of bud and bloom it is impossible to
conceive. When we say that Mr. Waterer's great nursery
has been stripped of its choicest specimens to furnish
forth this show, we has, e said, in a few words, the highest
praise which can be bestowed on flowers of this class. This
tent will remain open for exhibition for only three weeks
more, and we can sincerely say that those who love to see
the finest flowers in their finest bloom ought not to miss
the opportunity which this show presents—the first of its
kind attempted in London.

[ADvEnTisEmENT.]—Holloway's Ointment.—A fair
trial is all that is asked to prove the sterling and superior
merits of this Ointment, and to demonstrate how much more
successful it is in curing old ulcers, inveterate sores, and
disfiguring eruptions than any other application. When
properly used it lessens the inflammation, which invades
parts adjucent to the wound or ulcer, whereby much local
pain is immediately assuaged, and, in the course of an hour
or two, the most satisfactory results invariably follow,
which will steadily advance to a thorough and permanentcure. This treatment, so much at variance with the old-
tashioned views of cauterising., blistering-, leeching, &c.,
has by common consent been pronounced to be the greatest
blessing to persons thus afflicted,
