those concave folds hugging the wind and making the
least of it within th,ir recos:3es. No 11,110eed bow 4
swelling out in a full broad beam which melted into
yielding run were visible, but in place of such a welt,
proved style of naval architecture we had the still
straight angular bow, the narrow beam, and the hull
thin run which our clipper builders rejoice in. The
wind was light, the tide was strong, and the little fellows
bowled along merrily through the mist, the lead being
taken by tie Mouse, which was closely followed by the
Kitten. The race was not one of great interest, partly
because the Volante very soon shook off all competitors,
and partly because the weather was nearly as bad in
the day as in the morning.
Off Helehaven the match was divided into two
squadrons. In the first was the Volante, half
mile ahead of the MiPqnito, which in turn herded
the Cygnet by another half mile ; the Pauline,
Phantom, and Secret following. The rear division woe
composed of the Zuleika, Whisper, Vesper, Mouse, sod
Vampire, with the Kitten at a great distance behind.
About a mile below Chapman's Head Light the Coo'
in,dore directed a small boat to be anchored, which the
third class boats rounded and returned to Eritb. Th°
other boats rounded the Nore Light in the following
order;—

At the more the wind freshened and hauled a little
round to the north, so that the yachts had to beat UP
to Erith. Had the weather been fine it would have been
a very interesting sight, but as they made their 1004
legs they soon ran out of sight in the fog, though it:eia,
quite certain the Volante had done her work so We"
and was so excellently handled, that there was no chase°
of her rivals picking up the water she had made when
going free, and that her weatherly qualities would en;
able her to beat them in tacking, as she had done when
sailing before the wind. The yachts were obliged tO get
in balloon jibs and gaff topsails and set their ordinal
sailing canvas; but there was no close race that we
could see except between the Musquito and Secret, the latter of which, however, soon beat to windward 0f
the big'un," and weathered her in beautiful style;
The Ruby ran up to Eritit, where she arrived shoo
half-past six o'clock, and then lay to while the Yell
rounded the buoy and flag-staff, which, as the win
fell nearly dead away, was a very tedious and uninter;
eating operation. Amid the booming of guns and "A":
cheers of the victors the yachts Came round the buoy ii"
follows, the race being by this time a mere drift of I°g°

ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB. ae,
A grand and spirited sailing match of this diSr;
guished club took place on the Mersey on StourdaY!'
rho start took place from the Marine-station at Bir'se:
head, and on a signal trom the steamer, by the Cen3T-;
dote, a gun, the yachts canted round to the wind, fo
Bscchantc, Aquila, and Vision leadiag, closely
lowed by the Seabird, Surprise, Fi,lget, and Constanet—
The race was for two elegant and valuable prizes,
the first and second class yachts, time allowed for di.
ference of tonnage, the first yacht bf each class taking,.
prize. Much nautical was displayed during t;:,
contest. The Bacchante showed her power of sailing to
a breeie, and it was evich-nt that she would be the wit„rjed
soon after starting if she escaped being disabled, t""of
other casualties insuperable from a race in a breeze
wind, misfortunes which she had encountered during
the two years previous. The far-famed yacht Vision
defeated on this occasion, having also been beaten lay
a
the Scotch cutter Aquila. The Vision was not i 4
trim, that was evident, and she may;, et retrieve her loste
laurels on a feture match. The Seabird sprung he,
boom early in the contest, and left the second class 111,1.
entirelween the three small yachts, Surprise, Fiag,'..;
and Contnstance, the Surprise coming in the winner ay'
