Mr. Hughes, M.P., and the Working Men's

College.

A meeting of the members of the Working Men's
College was held last evening, in the lecture-hall of their
institution, in Great Ormond-street, for the purpose of con-
gratulating Mr. T. Hughes upon his election for Lambeth.
There was a very numerous attendance. The Rev. F. D.
Maurice, M.A., principal of the college, occupied the chair,
and among those present were Mr. Layard, M.P., Mr. C.
Neate, M.P., Mr. John Ruskin, Professor Cairnes, M. Louis
Blanc, Mr. Rossitor, Mr. Shorter, Mr. Hastings Hughes,
Mr. J. J. Merriman, Mr. J. L. Ludlow, Mr. Selway, Mr.
Dayton, Mr. R. Newton, &c. Apologies for non-attendance
were received from Mr. Adams, the American Minister, Mr.
Goschen, M.P., Mr. Torrens, M.P., and Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said he stood
there as the representative of the students of the Working
Men's College, and while congratulating the electors of
Lambeth upon returning Mr. Hughes as their representa-
tive, he also congratulated the students of the eellep upon
the fact that Mr. Hughes still belonged to them. The only
reason that could be given for inviting the electors of Lam-
beth and other gentlemen to attend upon this occasion was
that the members of the college knew the man who had been
chosen by the electors of Lambeth even better than they
did. They had known him intimately for the last 17 or 18
ears, and they had always found him a faithful and true
man. They had therefore a right to offer their congratula-
tions to the electors of Lambeth, based not on what they
hoped Mr. Hughes might do, but upon what they knew he
had done. (Cheers.) People wore told before the passing of
the Reform Bill, and had been told continuously since, that
the only chance for men of cultivation and education to find
their way into Parliament, unless they were very rich, was
that they should be returned for nomination boroughs.
He had always believed that the charge was not true, and
it never could have had a stronger confutation than in the
return of Mr. Hughes for Lambeth, of Mr. Torrens for
Finsbury, Mr. Goschen for London, and Mr. Mill for West-
minster. He rejoiced heartily, on the strongest moral
grounds, that that confutation had been given, and he espe-
cially congratulated the electors of Lambeth upon return-
ing as their representative so able and distinguished a man
as Thomas Hughes. (Cheers.) .
Mr. SHORTER moved " That we, the members of the
Working Men's College, hereby offer our most hearty con-
gratulations to Thomas Hughes, Esq., ono of the founders
of this college, on his election to Parliament. (Cheers.)
Mr. R. NEWTON, in seconding the resolution, referred to
the steps which Mr. Haghes had taken during his connec-
tion with the college to elevate and improve tke condition
of the working classes.

The motion was unanimously agreed to.
Mr. HUGHES, M.P., who was received with great cheer-
ing, said he was anxious to thank his old friends of the
college for having called together those new friends who
had manfully stood by him in the recent conflict in order
to give them a certificate that they had not made a mistake
in taking him as their representative. Ho owed much to
the institution in which they were assembled, and ho
esteemed it one of the greatest privileges of his life to have
fallen in with their principal when ho came up as a youth
from Oxford. Seventeen years ago they commenced their
work by establishing a ragged school yard on the opposite
side of the street. Subsequently they extended their ope-
rations, and endeavoured to spread throughout the country
the principles of association and co-operation. Mr. Maurice
was their English leader, but they got their ideas from the
othor side of the Channel ; and ho was delighted to see

then present the man who was ono of the first to make
those principles known in France—M.Louis Blanc. (Cheers.)
Although he had not been able to agree with all tho views
of M. Blanc, he thought that all those who had endea-
voured to deal prnctically and theoretically with great social
questions owed a deep debt of gratitude to that gentleman.
Ho (Mr. Hughes) had at all times done all in his power to
heal up breaches and to introduce terms of peace into
the war, as it had been called, between labour
and capital in this country. He felt that our prosperity
as a commercial nation rested more than anything
else upon the extinction of that strife by peaceful measures,
and he saw in the calmness with which these questions were
now discussed, and the mind and thought brought to bear
upon them, a better state of things than formerly existed.
Differences which had long existed were being gradually
healed, and masters and men were becoming united, feeling
that they had but one interest, and that that interest was
the interest of the whole country. (Cheers.) There was
a time when a very different state of things existed, when
men wore misunderstood, and when no portion of the re-
cognised press would stand by them and put forward their
statements as fairly and truthfully as they had a right to
expect. He had done what he could to make the press of
the country more fair, and to give a fair field on both sides,
but the part he had taken was extremely small compared
with that which had been taken by some ho saw in the
room at that moment, and whom he congratulated on the
success of their exertions. For many years he had con-
tinued his education in that college, with results for which
he never could be too grateful to the institution. When he
first came to London he was a member of ono of the most
distinguished colleges of one of our oldest universities, but
his education was wanting in many respects, and it was
not until ho had belonged for some years to this humble
working men's college that he really began to understand
that the word " college" meant something more than a
place whore a man learned to row, and take degrees, and
sign articles. It took him some years to find out that the
word " fellowship," when connected with education,
meant something more than £2OO a year until a man got
married, with the chance of a living if he took orders
in the Church of England. (Laughter and cheers.) He
had received benefits from his connection with the col-
lege for which he never could be adequately grateful.
Tho principles which to somo extent he had brought with
him, when he assisted in founding the college, had received
tenfold confirmation from the social life and the whole
meaning and work of the place. It was now wrought into
him as a conviction, and as a thing of which ho was as cer
fain as he was of life, that the melt who were engaged in
the bard work of manual labour were se capable of the

highest cultivation as the students of any college or uni-
versity. (Cheers.) And in this college there were none of
. .

lose sectarian influences which had so much hindered odu-

cation in this country. Whou the institution was foundedits
originators came forward with no shank) and no conceal-

ment. They told the working men that they believed there
could be no good college life, no good national life, no good
family life, that was not herd upon a true theology, but
from that day to this every man entered the college without
. _

question. lie had been buiglit by those who had strong
beliefs on those subjects, but his own inner life had not

been interfered with. By the success which the college had
experienced they had been able to show to the country a
place whore the belief of rvery man was respected and

cherished, where men of evoitiv church and sect in thocountry
could come together, and whcore they had been able to work

out a great educational ntov!•moit forono common endwith-
out ever fooling their difforciace-; a hindrance to them, or a

hindrance to the work they were about. (Cheers.) To this
fact ho attributed tho - support which she had received in
tho late contest in Lambetl, from persons of all religious

denominations. Now that he had teen returned to Parlia-

mont, no effort of his should bo wanting to do the work

of a representative in the nifinner in which he thought it

ought to be done. Ho sinderely hoped that ho should be
able to take such a part in he debates in Parliament and
in tho work of legislation n;; would be beneficial to tho

country at large, and as would lead to set right some of
those industrial and social quostions which. still required

attention. (Cheers.)
Mr. LLOYD JONES then moved " That we hereby offer our
sincere thanks to Mr. Hughes's committee, and to the elec-

tors of Lambeth, for their exertions on his behalf, and

that we also thank those working men who have so mate-

rially aided Mr. Hughes's return." (Cheers.)
Mr. LAYAItD, M.P., on rising to second the motion, was
received with loud cheers. Ile said there were some remarks

which fell from the distinguished principal of the college
in which ho heartily agrec",. Of course he coincided with

him in the opinion that at last the metropolitan boroughs
were doing justice to themselves. (Laughter.) The princi-
pal told them that not many months ago the argument was

constantly urged that unless they had what were commonly
called " rotten," or to use a more polite phrase, " nomina-
tion," boroughs restored, they could not have men in Par-
liament, men of capacity, of literary acquirements, or of
those talents which rendered them fit representatives of the

country. But who were the' principal supporters of that
argument? They were chiefly those who voted against the
very. persons who they said rould be excluded from Par-
liament if it were not for rotten boroughs. He should like

somo of those who were fond of statistics to get hold of
the Westminster polling books. Ile should like to see

who voted for Mi. Mill and who voted for Mr. Smith.

(Cheers.) Ho had nothing to say against Mr. Smith.
He believed him to be an honest, respectable individual.
His chief claim to represent the borough of Westminster
was that ho had made a great deal of money by selling
books. Now ho (Mr. Layard) was one of those who

were writers of Looks, and ho thought it was the writer

who ought-to make the money, and not the seller. (Laugh-
ter and cheers.) That did not appear to be the opinion of
a large portion of his fellow-countrymen, but, at the same
time, ho should like to know who in the borough of West-
minster voted for the seller of books, and who for the writer

of books. (Cheers.) Who voted for the man of intellect,

and who for the man who made his profits out of. that in-
telloct ? Who voted for the man who they said could not
bo sent to Parliament unless rotten boroughs existed, and

who for tho ono who would bo excluded from Parliament

if wo had large constituencies ? (Uhoers.) Ho thought

they would find it was tho working man who voted for
Mr. Mill, while those who had an interest in rotten

boroughs voted for Mr. Smith. (Cheers.) That was a

protty good test of.tho utility of rotten borOughs, and was

a good refutation of tho argument that unless we had rotten
boroughs we should not have men of intellect in Parha-

mont. The working men had played a large part in the lato
elections for the metropolis. He was one of those who had
always advocated the extension of the suffrage—not one of

those fancy, or what were now called "lateral" extensions
—(laughter)—but a real downward extension of the suf-
frage. (Cheers.) Yet if they had that terrible £6 suffrage,
which appeared to frighten some of his friends out of their
wits—if they had any to be frightened out of—he did not
think it would admit a large number of working men in
the metropolis to the suffrage. Of course it would be dif-

ferent in the country, but in Southwark, for instance, it
would not make a great difference in the working men
who would possess votes. Quite certain ho was, and he
hoped he should not be considered vain for saying
so, that it would not make a change in the representa-
tives they pent to Parliament. (Laughter and cheers.)

lie did 'n:lot:telieve that he was a formidable democrat,
although he was what was some time ago (the word seomed
now to be dying out) called a radical. But he had more
than once stood for large cos.stitnencies; and he had always
had the earnest, sincere, and independent support of the
working men. He had had the honour of fighting a con-

test at York, and a very hard contest it was, because there
were very powerful families, the Lowthers and others, who
had been connected with the county for many centuries,
and wbulusxjeyod an amount of influence against which it
was difficult to contend. He was not successful, although
well up on the poll, but he owed all the support he got
there almost exclusively to working men. lie should never.
forget what they did for him. Mr. Potter, a working man
on the railway, formed a committee, of which ho was him-
self chairman, and no man ever behaved more honourably

or upright, or with loss regard to personal sacrifices. The
working men organised themselves into a committee, and
they very nearly succeeded fn carrying the election, not-
withstanding all the influences brought to bear against
them. Ire was beaten, and he need scarcely assure them
that a contested election in a place like York could not be
fought for a _shilling. Without any bribery the election
expenses amounted to about £7OO. There were about 200
gentlemen in that city who were called freemen, and they
generally abstained from voting until 3 o'clock in the day.
(Laughter.) They were very good men in their way, and
ho was told that they were very good liberals. They
always went to the liberals first, and offered their vote
for £5 a head, and if the liberals would not take them,
then they went to the conservatives, and offered them
for £lO. (Laughter.) On the occasion to which ho re-
ferred, the liberals wore not prepared to avail themselves
of this advantageous offer, and ho was beaten. (Laughter
and cheers.) Three weeks afterwards he was invited down
to a public meeting at York. They gave him a magnifi-
cent reception, and after the meeting was over handed
him 750 golden sovereigns in a box made of wood from
York minstor. (Loud cheers.) That election did not cost
him a shilling, but the expenses were met by the
shillings, half-crowns, and five shillings of the working
men. He heard that his friend, Mr. Hughes, was going to
share the same fate. (Great cheering.) Ho hoped it was
the case. (A voice, " It is.")
He would tell then why. He
had no stingy feeling, although he thought that spending
money in elections was throwing money away ; but if they
really wanted to have in Parliament the class of mon they
expressed an anxiety to see there, they ought to be able to
send them without putting them to a shilling of expense.
He would even carry the argument further still. Ho wished
to soo all persons represented in the House of Commons,
and ho should be glad to see three or four working men
there—not those who arrogated to themselves to speak in
the name of the working men, but those who would really
represent them. There was no easier hobby-horse to ride
than that of the working men. Whenever a speaker in the
House of Commons was in difficulties he jumped on the back
of a working man and made him trot up and down—(laugh-
ter)—believing that together they formed a kind of centaur,
of which he was the top and the working man the bottom.
(Laughter.) He had a great—he would not say contempt—
but misgiving, with regard to this kind of gentleman, and
he should therefore like to see a few genuine working men
in the house. (Cheers.) If they could not speak good
grammar, he did not care about that, nor did ho think it
was a matter that the house cared much about. (Great
laughter.) What they wanted was good sound common sense
—men who expressed what they really felt, thought, and
wanted. His friend Mr. Hughes knew more of the working
men than most of them, and had more authority to speak
in their name, but even Mr.-Hughes could not 4dentify
himself completely with them. It was impossible that ho
could. They had different interests, and there wa§ a gulf
between them. (Hear, hear.) What was required was that
the House of Commons should hoar from the working men
themselves what it was they wanted, and, therefore, he
should be glad to see two or three, or more, working men
in the House of " Commons. (Cheers.) But unless they
established the principle that mon were to be sent to the
House of Commons without spending a fortune, they could
not hope to have working men there. This question was,
therefore, of the greatest possible importance to the work-
ing men, and every effort should be made by them to
secure that those they voted for should be sent to Parlia-
ment free of expense.
(Cheers.) To show what the work-
ing men could do in London he would turn for a moment
to the men they had returned during the present election.
He had already spoken of Mr. Mill. There was not a more
distinguished writer or thinker in the country, although
he had no doubt that Mr. Mill was unknown to many of
the electors before the election, because his works wore of
that character that they were not likely to penetrate among
the masses of the population, being works of high logic
But the moment Mr. Mill's character
and philosophy.
' was made known to the working men of Westminster—
the moment it was known what he had done and it was
understood that he was a thinker, the working men said,
" He is the man we want in Parliament." It was the same
in Finsbury, where a man of literary attainments was re-
turned, a man who ought to be in Parliament, as a man of
intelligence and intellect. It was the same in the City
of London, although wobably the working men had
less to do with the result there. He would say nothing of
Southwark, except that five years ago he received there the

support of the working mon to an extent he could scarcely
bring himself to believe he deserved, and for which he felt
the deepest gratitude. He would not say that ho had done
his duty since he had been returned, but he could consci-
entiously say, that ho had done his best to do so, and he
believed the electors thought so, for this year they had re-
elected him without opposition, thus saving him great
trouble and expense. (Cheers.) He hoped that his friends
next door in Lambeth would show the same consideration
on future occasions to Mr. Hughes. He thought the people
of Lambeth had done well in the selection they had made.
They had returned a man who would deservedly repre-
sent them, and who would be able in the House of Com-
mons to speak with authority in the name of the working
men. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Layard) had a great feeling of gra-
titude towards working men. Ho knew they were a gener-
ous, noble-hearted class ; although, at the same time, ho
thought they were very much like children in some re-
spects, and that the innocence of character which they pos-
sessed very often exposed, them to be led away. He, there-
fore, thought it was a good thing that sound men and men
of judgment should be intimately acquainted with them.
The working men of the country had made many mis-
takes, but they were mistakes which were made almost
entirely from goodness of heart—from a desire to do right,
but from an ignorance of the way to do it. For instance,
with regard to benefit societies, they had failed because
they did not understand the simple principles of political
economy. They had acted with the best intentions, but
upon false principles. When they were told that they were
wrong they thought the advice they received came merely
from the enemies of the working men. What they required
was some one possessing their confidence to tell them that
their principles were good, but that their mode of carrying
them out was wrong. They wanted some one to go and
talk to them in a manner and in a spirit that would tend to
bind more closely together the ties between the two classes,
and that was why he wished to see such men as Mr.
Hughes in Parliament. (Loud cheers.)
The motion was unanimously agreed to.

Dir. RUSKIN, as chairman of Mr. Hughes's committee,
briefly replied, and the proceedings were brought to a close
by a vote of thanks to the chairman.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BRIGHTON RACES.—WEDNESDAY.
The great attraction of the second day was the Gold
Cup, value £4OO, which the well-judging liberality of the
Race Committee had offered this year with a view of at-
tracting a superior class of animal, and obviating the
walks-over which have on more than one occasion spoilt
the sport. They have been rewarded for their efforts by an
entry superior to that of past years. The names of Ely,
Cambuscan, Londgdown, Sydmonton, and Caller Ou pro-
mised an exciting contest, and though the result was
more hollow than was expected, yet the interest taken in
it by all classes will make the event a memorable one.
A great deal of time, one hour and a quarter, was wasted
over the Sussex Stakes, an unimportant selling race, from
repeated breaks away, and it was not till Admiral Rous
rode down to the post that the lot were got into order and
despatched. We hope to see the day when half-mile races
shall be abolished by (Turf) Act of Parliament.
All the horses wehave mentioned above, with the excep-
tion of Longdown and the addition of Union Jack and Red-
mire, came to the post just as a sharp shower kindly ceased
its downpour. Union Jack made the most of the running,
Ely and Cambuscan lying third and fourth till about half a
mile from home, when Custanco let the former out, and
the gallant son of Kingston, passing his horses one by one,
Caller Ou being the last to give in, won without being
called upon by eight lengths. This with the steadying
weight of 9st 101 b, giving 101 b to Cambuscan and 81b to
Caller Ou, was of course a first-rate performance, and there
seems no reason to doubt that this great horse will prove
indifferent to weight over the Cup courses of York and
Dencaster.

The attendance to-day was very numerous, the Grand
Stand being almost inconveniently crowded, while the
ground was covered with a goodly display of carriages.
Tho committee may be congratulated on the success with

which the Brighton Cup has commenced its fresh lease:
The Pavilion Plate (Handicap) of 100 sovs, for all ages,

Betting-3 to 1 agst Vixen, sto 1 agst Arkansas, 7to 1

Flying Horse, with Saladin, Plover, and Arkansas, got
away in advance, and ran in company into the bottom,
Greenland lying in the extreme roar. Shortly after they
commenced the ascent of the hill Saladin headed Mr.
Saxon's colt, and came on with a clear lead to the enclosure,
when he was headed by Arkansas, who won in a canter by
a couple of lengths, Saladin defeating Flying Horse by
three parts of a lengths for second. Plover was fourth,
Juliet fifth, and Greenland next. The three last were Ca-
diz, Purity, and Vixen.
Tho Sussex Stakes of 5 sons each, with 100 added. Two-
yr-olds and upwards. Weight for age, with selling and

_ .

Betting-2 to 1 agst Money Spinner, 4to 1 each agst
Blackbird and Juliet, and 10 to 1 agst Wentworth.
Ono hour and a quarter was lost at the post before Mr.
M'Georgo was enabled to effect an equitable start, in doing
which the services of Admiral nous were brought into re-
quisition. Blackbird, on the inside, was the first in action,
and came on with a slight lead of Juliet, Silliet, and Wont-
worth, who, as they descended the hill, were followed by
the favourite, Musketeer, and Quirina. On reaching the

distance Blackbird was beaten, and speedily dropped back,
his place being taken by Salliet, who, an they neared the
enclosure, was headed by Wentworth and Viper. The
throe from this point finished a close race home, the'former
winning cleverly at last by a neck ; half a length sepa-
rated the second and third ; Musketeer was fourth,
Arethusa fifth, and Juliet next.
The winner was bought in for 200 guineas.
The Brighton Cup, a piece of plate, value. 400 soya, added
to a sweepstakes of 10 soya each ; for 3-yr-olds and up-
wards ; weight for age. Winners extra, with certain

Union Jack, immediately the flag was lowered, went to

the front, and made play at an indifferent pace, followed in
Indian file by Sydmonton, Ely, and Cambuscan ; Rodmiro
and Caller Ou, side by side, lying two or three lengths in
their rear. These positions were retained as they skirted
the brow of the hill, but on reaching the throe-quarters of
a mile-post Redraire became the absolute last, and the
favourite, who had been gradually improving his position,
followed the leaders to the bend for home. Here Sydmon-

for home the two latter came to the front, followed half-
way down the hill by Venture, the trio being joined by
Ambition and Loaf Sugar at the enclosure. From this
point a close raco ensued, Venture getting his bead in ad-
vance at the stand, and winning cleverly by three parts of
a length. There were two lengths between the second

AQUATICS,

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.
COWES, Wednesday Evening.

The departure of the boat last night for Southampton
left the race for the Queen's Cup unfinished, and, as sug-
gested in an early part of the report, when the contest was
brought to a close, it was followed by a protest by Lord
Londesborough on the part of the Albertine, claiming for
her the prize, he alleging that the Egeria had not started
fair or in compliance with the regulations. Before going
into the subject, however, it will be necessary to supply
some few particulars in connection with the race itself. On
going to the eastward and passing the Norman buoy, the
Egeria had obtained a good lead, Albertine second, and the
rest in the following order :—Pantomime, Titania, Viking,
Aline, Galatea, and Aquiline. On passing to the Warner,
light-ship, there were some changes of position ; the Vik-
ing and Aline overhauling the Titania, but still leaving
the Galatea and Aquiline to bring up the rear. The three
leading vessels, on passing the Warner, were timed as
under :

H. M. s.-
Egeria lO 55 0
Albertine
Pantomime lO 58 20

The Viking, Aline, Titania, Galatea, and Aquiline were
not timed. On going on for the Nab light-ship, which was
the eastern extremity of the course, the Titania began
slowly to make way upon the Viking and Aline, and before
she reached the Nab she succeeded in gaining her former
place, and became the fourth vessel, the Viking and Aline
following closely in her Wake. The Pantomime for some
time regarded her with some anxiety, and after some very
excellent handling on both sides the Titania only lost
going round the Nab third by half a minute. The follow-
ing were the times taken in rounding the Nah Light :

It has been already described that, before reaching the
Noman on the return to the westward, the Aline, by keep-

ing the north shore, took the lead, and at this time the
Titania was doing very well, but unfortunately reaching in
too far to—the northward, site got aground in-Stokes Bay.
The other incidents on the beat down to the westward
have mainly been described, the Viking having here taken
the fourth place. It was generally observed that the
Aline had done wrong, after passing the mark vessel at
Cowes, in taking so long a reach-to the north, and then
making several tacks, while the Egeria and Albertine
worked their way very skilfully and quietly down the north
shore. The following was the time when the western mark
boat at Yarmouth was rounded

11. M. S,

Aline
Egeria
Albertine - 4 48 5

The others were so far astern that, they were not timed.
The western mark having been rounded, it was then a clear
run before the wind, and the way in which the two leading
vessels were clothed proved the determination on the part
of both of them to occupy the place of honour, and as they
same up the Solent together, boomed out and loaded with
canvas, it was one of the most picuresque sights ever wit-
nessed in these waters. They were so close together that
there was scarcely half the bowsprit's length between them,
and it might almost have been designated a dead heat.
There could not have been more than two seconds between
them ; and only one gun was fired for both vessels. The
following was the time of arrival

H. M. S.
Aline
Egeria
Albertino 5 47 40
Viking 5 54 0
Pantomime 6 1 23
Titania 6 4 55

Tho rest were not timed.
As soon as the Albertino arrived, Lord Londesborough
came ashore and lodged a protest with the sailing commit-
tee against the Egeria receiving the prize, as she was not
at .her proper station when starting. The Aline had to
allow the Egeria 29 minutes 20 seconds for difference of
tonnage. The consideration of the protest was gone into
this morning, and the sailing committee, having heard
evidence upon it, they decided unanimously that the Egeria
was entitled to the prize, which gave general satisfaction.
The Egeria was only commenced by Mr. \Vanhill, of
Poole, in October last, and was launched in May. She is
90 feet in length, beam 19 feet 3 inches, giving tonnage, by
builder's measurement, 160, and club measurement, 157.
She is fitted with the new running bowspiit, with almost
upright masts. She is constructed on lines somewhat dif-
ferent from many of the other competing vessels, they being
built on the hollow or WSVO principle, while her lines are
perfectly straight and even, and the hollow lines appear to
have been most studiously avoided. The fittings of walnut
and maple are very handsome, and the saloon large and
ample. Although built for a racing vessel she has every
convenience and comfort for sea going. This was her first
match, and almost her first trial, and no time was afforded
to try experiments with a view of improving her, which
no doubt experience will hereafter suggest. She was ex-
cellently sailed by Mr. Nicholls, junior, son of the veteran
Nicholls, and ho promises well to maintain his father's
fame.

This evening the annual dinner of the Royal Yacht
Squadron will take place at the Castle, at which Commo-
dore the Right Hon. the Earl of Wilton will preside.
To-morrow a grand race will take place for a prize of
£lOO given by the Royal Yacht Squadron for yachts of 30
tons and upwards, belonging to any Royal Yacht Club or
foreign club ; the course being round the Isle of Wight.

This day was appointed for the town regatta, which al-
ways brings together a large number of persons from New-
port, Hyde, Ventnor, and other parts of the island, but the
amusements were sadly marred on account of the very un-
favourable btate of the weather. ' Notwithstanding the
