Royal Victoria Yacht Club Regatta.

-

RYDE, Tuesday, Aug. 15.

Tuesday morning, like its predecessor, was ushered in by
strong south-westerly wind and rain, which rendered the
atmosphere the whole morning an impenetrable mass of
obscurity. The match on the Regatta card was for the
second Rydo Cup, given by the inhabitants of tho town,
who intrusted the design to Mr. A. B, Barnad, of
Pier-street, Ryde. It is a very handsome vase in frosted
slyer surmounted by lotus leaves and flowers ; the cover
corresponds, and is surmounted by a yachtsman leaning on
an anchor There were very few persons on the pier to
witness the match, which only occupied two-and-a-half
hours.

The match was open to all yachts over 20 tons belonging
to any Royal Yacht Club. Once round the Victoria course.
Time race. Half Ackers' scale. Thames measurement.
The following yachts entered :
Name. Class. Tons. Owner.
Volante
Meteor schooner... 194 ... Mr. T. Brassey.
Marina
Niobe
Astarte
Christabel cutter 51 Mr. A. C. Kennard.
The Marina and Niobe did not take up their stations,

and the Astarte, although at the station moorings, did not
start. The Christabel could not get to her station before
the starting gun was fired.

At 11 a.m.the yachts were started over the eastern portion
of the course with the strength of the east-running tide and
S.W. wind. !Both vessels had two reefs down in their fore-
sails, with their topmasts housed. The Volante set a small
working jib, the Meteor two, besides a reefed forestaysail.
At starting the Meteor was a long distance to windward of the
Volante, and the vessel could not be got round before thowind
for five or six minutes; the Volante, on the other hand, was
particularly alert in getting under way, and by the time
the Meteor had canted was well towards the Sand's Head
Buoy. From this point the yachts became totally obscured
by the blinding mist-like rain, and of their progress to the
Nab we knew nothing, beyond the fact that tho sea dis-
turbance towards the lightship must have enabled the Me-
teor, from her greater power, to come up slightly with the
Volante ; but she never overcame the time lost at starting.
They appeared in sight again at 12.20, the gale-like breeze
having somewhat abated, the weather being still full of
drizzling rain. They passed the Pier on their way to the
West Buoy of the middle off Osborne at—

H. M. S. H. M. s.
Volante
In ten minutes they were again lost to view, and no ob-
servations on the events of the match could bo made until
they again appeared in sight at 1.20, with sheets eased off,
running for the station, where they arrived, terminating
the match at—

11. M. B. 11. M. s.
Volante
The Volante took the prize, having to receive 58 seconds
time allowance from the Meteor.

The annual ball took place at the Club-house last night,
and was very numerously attended.
The prizes given by Messrs. Broadwood and Morice will
be sailed for round the Owers Lightship on Thursday,
and on Friday the Commodore's Cup will be sailed for
round the Isle of Wight.
