ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

The objects of this Company are to carry out a contract
for the purchase, from the London and North-Western
Railway Company, of about 80 acres of Freehold Land (20
acres of which were laid out some years since 11 the late
Sir Joseph Paxton), situated between the Menai and Bri-
tannia bridges, over the Menai Straits, in the county of
Carnarvon, to erect and maintain, on a portion of the land,
a first-class Hotel, and to dispose of the residue for building
purposes.
The property is admirably adapted for the objects con-
templated, being close to the junction of the line to Car-
narvon with the main line of the Chester and Holyhead
Railway (the London and North-Western Company under-
taking to make their station at present on the property a
first-class station, and to stop at it four-fifths of their ordi-
nary passenger trains thus affording easy access to all the
points of interest in North Wales and the locality.
There exists a great demand for Building Land in the
locality, as well as for further Hotel accommodation, and
there can be no doubt that a considerable sum will be
realised by the sale of the surplus property.
Interest at six per cent. per annum will be paid on De-
posits and Calls, and on payments in advance of Calls, till
the opening of the Hotel, which, it is expected, will take
place in about eighteen months.

ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA.
Tho cutter race for a prize of .£soi given by Mr. H. Ken-
nard, and the schooner race for the club purse of .£5O,
started in both classes on Wednesday, and partially re-
ported in The Sun of yesterday, were suspended at sunset
owing to the distance at which the leading vessels were
from the goal, and the light wind that had hitherto pre-
vailed dying away to a calm. The cutter's prize will be
sailed for again on Saturday.
The races.fixed for yesterday on tho programme of the
Club were :

A Prize, value £5O, for cutters under 100 tons, and yawls,
under 125 tons, belonging to any two or more Royal
Yacht Clubs. Yawls to sail as cutters, with a fourth of
their tonnage deducted. To start at 10.30 a.m. Time
race, half Acker's scale. Thames measurement. -

Christabel ...... 51
A Prize, value £5O, open to schooners and yawls over 125

Meteor ............ 193

And the schooner race between the Intrigue, Circe, and
Flying Fish, unfinished on Wednesday, to be sailed over
again.
The list of names in both the races of the day, as well as
in the adjourned race for Mr. Kennard's prize, gave pro-
mise of a brilliant day's sport, if only a strong wind replaced
the unsteady breezes that had Travailed during the, two
previous days. What, for instance, could be more inte-
resting in a yachting sense than a full trial of strength be-
tween ,the Albertine, the Witchcraft, and the Evadne, or
the famous cracks comprised in Vas list of cutters ? The
Hirondelle and the Hyacinth did not put in an appearance
at the starting moorings.
The signal gun for starting the cutters was fired at the
time appointed, when sails were quickly got up by six out
of the eight entered, and they wer3 off—off, however, some
east and some west, from apparently some mistake in reading
the flag signal. The heads of all were eventually pointed
eastward, Volante leading, and in i weather position, with
Marina second, and Astarte third, all three nearly in line.
Considerably to leeward of the ttree vessels named were
Niobe and Christabel, the Vindex bringing up the lot as
whipper in nearly half a mile astern of the leader. Wind
S.S.W., rising from a light to a niceish breeze. Tide, east,
slack. At 11h 15m 45s the Volante opened out to view
south of the Noma'', from the comitittee or starting vessel,
followed by the Astarte, at 11h 18m 10s, and Niobe, Vin-
dex, Christabel, and Marina, all in a cluster, at 11h 21m.
Volante found the wind heading heron passing the Noman,
and went about making a board in toward§ the I§huad--a

The wind now freshened a little, and both cutters and
schooners improved their - pace. At 12 32 the Witch-
craft was on the port tack on the Intrigue's weather. As
the cutters neared the Nab they -seemed to get the wind
nearly S.S.E., as did also the schooners in the wake of the
cutters. The cutters were not timed round the Nab, owing
to a thick haze on the horizon preventing their flags be-
ing distinguished with any certainty. The schooners in
weathering the Nab took a nice fresh breeze, which they
brought in with them as it gradually veered round to S.W.,
and looked likely to continue. The cutters ran to the we,st-
ward with big topsails and balloon jibs set, the Marina
carrying, by way of variety, a. squaresail. Some pretty
close racing took place between the Niobe and Christabel
in running up to the westward. The times of passing
Ryde pier by the cutters were

The schooners followed round the Nab, the Albertine at
lh. 6m. 155., Witchcraft at lh. 26m. 545., and the Evadne
at lh. 41m. 455. The remaining schooners in both races
were not timed, but the relative positions of all on passing
Ryde pierhead were ascertained, by timing them, as fol-
