AQUATICS.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.
The third and last match of the week, which has been.
fraught with features of aquatic interest, took place yester-
day amongst the boats of the second and fourth class of this
distinguished club. The priz,3 in the first of these was a
piece of plate value £5O, and in the last 3 prize value £3O
for the first boat, and £lO for the second. The following
contended : _ _

of
Quiver l2 .. Capt. D. T. Chamberlayne
There were three other boats entered, but from some un-
toward circumstances they could not come to the post. The
course was from Erith to the Nore Light and back, and
there was a time allowance of half a minute per ton.
Mr. Alfred Cox, a very experienced yachting man, was,
as on the occasion of the last race, appointed president of
the match. The wind blew very heavily from W.S.W., and
the apprehensions that there would soon be some mishaps to
record, was soon realised. The gun to get in readiness Ives
fired at 11 hrs 40 min, and at 11 hrs 45 min 30 secs a s-cond
was fired for the small class to start. They swung imme—
diately, the Octoroon taking the lead, the Aerolite being
second, the Wasp third, and Bessie fourth. At 11 hrs 53
min the signal was given for the largo boats to go off, and
the whole wore round directly, but the Phantom took the
lead, followed by the Water Lily. Within ten minutes of
the start, white the whole of the small boats were close
together, the Wasp carried away her bowsprit, and retire&
from the contest; the Emmet had a reef down, and the
Phantom also. At Broadness P^int the Octoroon was
leading by a quarter of a mile, the Bessie was next to
her, and then the Quiver ; the Aerolite being overpowered
by the wind. The Phantom was leading well on entering
St. Clements, when the Emmet, which was gaining slightly
upon her, carried away her jib lalyard, but soon repaired
the damage; the Water Lily, however, passing her during
the time, but being again re• passed a little lower down. On
entering Sea Reach the Phantom was nearly half a mile
ahead, and it was not until after this that the smaller boats
were all passed, so great had been their pace. No further
change worthy of notice occurred, and the yachts rounded
the Nore Light just after low water, as follows :

Phantom 2 25 0
Emmet 2 26 0
Octoroon
Queen
Bessie
Water Lily
The boats all lay up right to the Hope, and a most late-.
resting and exciting race occurred between the Phantom tula
the Emmet; the latter gradually stale upon her, and neared
her within a hundred yards ; but when they became close
hauled it was manifest that the Phantom went nearer the
wind than her adversary, as she again wont rapidly ahead
of her.
The Emmet had its go-about at the upper part of the
Hope, the Phantom at the Oven Buoy, and the latter then
further increased her lead. After leaving the Hope, they
sailed up at a very fine pace, the wind still being very
good. On the way from the Nore to the Hope, the Prince
of Wei.aa otoamer, which nem-imperiled the moo with tho
Club, passed Lord Alfred Paget, so many years its excel-
lent commodore, who was steering his beautiful yacht, the
Water Lily. He was greeted with loud cheers both by the
company on board the Prince of Wales and Oread, which
ilso was in company, and the band of the 2d Life Guards
struck up "Auld Lang Syne," which was succeeded by
"There's a Good Time Coming." His lordship
his acknowledgments at the unmistakeable expression o
regard thus exhibited. From the point where we last left
the yachts there was no change, and the race concluded as
follows : bowed
