BRIGHTON RACES.—WzDNEspiy.

The Cup Day generally tees the largest attendance here,
and on this occasion there was no falling off from the rule.
To the holiday-makers, unconcerned as to the " bad going,"
the weather was everything that was delightful, and we
never remember so many carriages or such a crowded stand.
The racing was rather poor, though it commenced with a
fine struggle between Durham and Deorfoot for the Pavi-
lion Plate, and which excited an unusual amount of inte-
rest from the even merits of the two, Lord Uxbridge's
horse only won by a head after a very game race.
The Ovingdean Plate brought out a fair field, and re-
sulted in a good race between the first two. Antidote stay-
ing the longest, and winning by half a length. In the Cup,
only Dollar and Little Stag put in an appearance, the Good-
wood winner here meeting his opponent at 51b worse terms
than last week. They laid odds on Dollar, who proved
himself again a first-rate horse, by having the best of it all
the way, and winning cleverly by a neck. Lord St. Yin-
cent's horse never succeeding in getting up to him.
The other events call for no particular comment.

Little Stag, overpulling his rider, got away in front, but,
after running a few strides, he was pulled back, and the
favourite came on with a clear lead at a wretched pace.
Passing the T.Y.C. poet, Little Stag went up to the
Frenchman. and the pair came on abreast into the bottom,
where the young one appeared to have the best of it, but
as they ascended the hill Dollar again drew slightly away,
and came on to the enclosure with the race apparently in
hand, but Grinashaw, making a final effort, once again
reached his opponent, who, having a little left, shook him
off, and won cleverly by a neck.

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.
Yesterday's programme of the Royal Yacht Squadron
consiated of the prizes given by the squadron to be sailed for
by cutters of 30 tons and upwards,
sovereigbnelo.nging to any royal
yacht club, the first prize being a cup, value 100 sovereigns,
and the second a purse of 25 A
time race, half
yachts to start from off the Royal Yacht
a minute per ton allowance, Thames measurement. The
thence proceed round the Warner light
northward of the Calshot light vessel, passing north of the
vesSsqez thence to the
Squadron Castle,
Brambles, thence round a mark vessel off Egypt Point,
thence to pass between the starting vessel and the Royal
Squadron Critle. Twice round.
The following vessels entered :—The Mosquito cutter, 59,
Mr T. Holdsworth ; the Ladybird cutter, 59, Mr J. P.
Lethbrido ; the Volante cutter, 0, a C. Mandalay; the
Phosphorus cutter, 49, Captain W. EtlikeleY; the Surf

R.A. ; the Vinclex
cutter, 45, Mr A. Duncan; the Arrow cutter, 94, Mr T.
Claamberlayne,
The Phosphorus and Ladybird did not start. The re-
maining' eight slipped their moorings from off the Royal
Yacht Squadron Castle by signal at 10 a.m., and immedi-
ately set to work to beat their way up to the Warner against
a moderato breeze from S,S.E.
From Cowes roads to the eastward some very pretty sailing
took place, and as the vessels reached over into Osborne Bay
the wind freshened a little, and there were better signs of a

thAetislllarlicsisafor.e,the tie fleet were making
Ling the west-going tide, the unconquerable Arrow as usual
in the front place, with the Mosquito second, and the Alerts
third, At 11 40 a.m. the Arrow led the way through the
Royal Victoria Yacht Club fleet anchored in Hyde Roads,
the famous Mosquito hanging on her weather quarter about
200 yards astern, about three times that distance separating
the Mosquito from the third vessel—the Alerts, the latter
with the Surf edoso astern. Three or four cables length
astern followed the Volante, and astern of Volante, at about
the same distance, came the Marina. At 11 43 the Arrow
went about, within her own length, off Hyde pier-head, and
two minutes afterwards the Mosquito was also about off the
pier-head, and on the Arrow's weather, going alengheauti-
fully and look every inch a winner, Alorte, Surf, and
Volante stood out further in the tide, Alert tanking 11 rat
and fetching in to windward of Hyde pier, Surf and Volante
following suit. Astarte and Marina brought up the rear
some distance astern,

In standing along the edge of the Ryde Sand the Arrow
caught a freshening puff, and, drawing out from tho Mos-
quito's lee, again assumed the lead, the Moequito immedi-
ately going about, and making a short tack in towards the
sand, In spite of the Mosquito's tactics, however, the
Arrow held her own--indeed, improved it by the time she
reached 14 wo:ka for i-te fort OA the Normau Shoal; which
