Th

for 'her Majesty's CUP of ..100 guin. as, and at an early
hour theper was crowded with tashionahle. Amongst
the latest arrivals were her *Roysl.Hignness the Princess
,'Mary of c.ihridgo'(to join her r. sal mother), Lord de
Bisqaiere. 8..r0u linesebeck, Lady Webster, Captain
Ctiesti-r, &o. The Warners' continued to pour in visitors
I rota ten in the morning, from Portsmouth, Southampton,
dud covi-es,
and at ot,ive o'clock the steamers brought
over between 200 and 300 persona from Brighton, St.
Leimarcrs, serif other' places along the South coast buy.
ki:e Portamobtb Steam-btiat Company also ran excursion
boats to,accompany the sailtt.glaehts round the island,
which were crowded by a fashionable company.
The display of itichts'iff the' pier had a very ant-
mating ,appearance, as nearly the whole -flat from
Cowes bad Changed quittere,.and had come down to
witness the start and • acctaapany . the contending
yachts round the course, amongst which was the
Alarm, converted .to iii schooner; the Fernande,
acbooner, Major Mountjoy Marlyn; the Gloriana, a
uuw vessel, built by RatseY, of Cowes, on the America's
lines; and several others of minor pretensions. Of
course the
.principal object of interest was the cele-
brated America, of which all hinds of rumours were
afloat—that she had lost her trim, had become slow, and
a . variety of others, but with, we believe, no other
foundation than :a: "wish chat was father to the
...
thought." However, the seqUel will tell whether a
twelvetnontb's absence can .so far have changed the
p)wera of a. vessel who Olen proved herself indomitable
to all opposition.
,
. . borne tittle. disappointment was
experienced
that the
Alarm, hitherto the lastest vessel on this station, and
which had recently been altered (as•
yesterday noticed),
form and
to the America's f rig,
was not to start for the
iniz'; but this
may be, easily explained when it
known that the race was confined tovessels of is
the
Royal Victoria Yacht
Club, of which, we believe,
Joseph We ld
• E sq., the owner of the Alarm, is not a
member.

At Half-past ten o'clock the various yachts took their
'stations ofrthe pier, and whatever might have been said
of the America, she did not appear to have suffered from
•her Mediterranean voyage in the least degree. Indeed,
the only perceptible cliff-Ter:ea in her was, •that she no
longer' displayed her spangled flag and stripes, but the
colours of Old England, naturalised as she is into 'the
family of Great Britain. The following yachts were
:
Vestal, 74 tons—union jack, white border. . •
Mosquito, 50 toes—blue, pierced, red, white Maltese
cross.
Anierioa, 180 tons—blue and white chequered.
Princess Olga, 50 tons White, with blue cross.
Arrow, 102 tons—bfue, with white arrow.
Brilliant, 393 tons—blue fly, red field, SL 'Andrew's
cross. • •-
'Aurora, 48• tons—red.. . •
'L-toh'yretta, 180 tons—white and blue.
Of the ab6ie, however,. only the-Mosquito, America,
'Arrow, and. Zephyretta.determined to start.
• At thirty-five•minutes past ten • the starting gunl ,was
fired, the signal being made that the yaoh's ahoukl,pro-
eeed-to the-eastward, the course being round the Isle of '
Witiht. There was a good stiff bre.ze blowing at the
time, and the day was peculiarly- favourable for testing'
the 'powers- of •the yachts capable of Standing ueriler a
heavy press of -sail. •The'lVlosquito was the first to get'
under weigh, and soon showed her hoWeprit ahead' of
the `Arrow; which followed closely in her wake. ;,The'
America was somewhat tardy- in getting her gafop-•
sail set,— which- gave the- cutters a decided aJvan-
tage in the start,-• -hut that was of trivial: ac-.,
count when -compared with the extent of the
course. 'The • ZPphyretta was the last tot+ get.
away, and was about. twice her length' astern of the,
America; 'hut at 11.2, when abreast of the Warren
Sand, the Zephyretta- had.considerably overhauled the.
America;-the Mosquito.' still leading, the Arrow being
about half's mile astern of ber, aed about a quarter of a
mile'lletWeen her and the Anieric-s. In this • order they
passed the No•iiian Buoy, beating op against the tide. ,
