AQUATICS,

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.

The third race of the season amongst yachts of this dis-
tinguished club came off yesterday, but owing to the very
unpromising state of the weather in the morning the attend-
ance of visitors on board the club steamer, the Eagle, was
very thin. Throughout the day the wind was squally and
variable, accompanied by heavy showers of rain and a
thunder storm in the afternoon, after which there was ever
and anon a calm.

The race was with yachts of the fourth class, for prizes in
plate, value £3O for the first boat, and £lO for the second,
and the following contended :

Yachts. Tons. Owners.
Dione
Quiver
Octoroon
Folly
There was a time allowance of half a minute per ton, and
the course was from Gravesend to the Nore Light and back.
Mr Charles Tatham, a very old and experienced yachts-
man, was the officer of the day, in the absence of the noble
Commodore, Lord Alfred Paget, and the Yice, Lord De
Roe, but the latter superintended the arrangement of the
cutters at their stations. The wind was west and by south,
and plenty of it, as will be seen by the time in which the
yachts ran down to the Nore. The race was started at 11h.
48m. There was no advantage in position, and the cutters
all canted at the same moment, the Octoroon, however,
waiting till her mainsail jibed over before she fairly set it.
The Dione first showed her jib-headed topsail, and the
others immediately followed her example, but with square
ones. The Folly took the lead, followed by the Quiver,
which just below Tilbury ran into the first place, the Folly
close behind her with her sheet right off; but in the lower
part of Gravesend Reach the Folly again drew past the
Quiver. They went down right before the wind, shifting
a
topsails and carrying as much canvas as they could well
stand under, the wind freshening as the squlls camo on.
The Octoroon soon filled the second place, and then there
became a gap of a cable's length between the first and
second boats; but there being a lull at Leigh, they were all
together again with scarcely half a dozen yards between
them, when the Folly by judicious sailing again drew ahead
and they rounded the Noro Light as follows :

H. M. S.

Folly
Quivor
Octoroon ......
2 4 0
Diono -

They jibed round the lightship to the northward. The Dione
did not round well, losing time by going to leeward, still
carrying her jibheaded topsail, while the rest struck theirs.
As the ebb tido was still running, and the yachts had to
beat dead to windward all the way up, they courted the slack.
In the first board the Quiver went out right to windward of
the Folly, who shortly after was observed with a reef down,
the wind at the time being very heavy and squally, and the
Octoroon shortly after reached through her lee. With the
squall the wind came out from the north-west, and they
were all broken off. Just below Southand the Quiver was
leading by a quarter of a mile, the Octoroon being second,
and Folly third. Then came a thunderstorm, a calm, and
some oatspaws. The Folly, having kept well close to the
south shore, got a nice breeze of wind, and passing the Oc-
toroon, went very near to the Quiver, and so close were they
all through that the slightest reischame would have changed
