AQUATICS.

ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB.

The first match of the season amongst the first-class cut-
ters of the above club for two valuable pieces of plate took
place yesterday, when the following contended, but with-
out a decision :
Yacht. Tons. Owner.
Vindex
Glance
Volanto
Niobo

The Queen of the Thames steamer accompanied the race,
and left London-bridge with a very large party, consisting
of the members and their friends.

The course was from Erith to about a mile above the
Noro Light and back. At 11.25 Mr. Arcedeckne, the com-
modore, gave the signal to got ready, and in five minutes
later for the start. A light air prevailed at the time from
W.N.W., but it was variable as such winds are, and was
generally westward. It was a very fine start, and the boats
canting at the same moment to the north shore, setting
their canvas with great alacrity with balloon jibs and top-
sails. The Volanto was under way first, which was very
creditable to ber crew, as she was the largest boat. She
took the lead, followed by Glance passing the Niobe at the
Point. In the Sands the Glance set a square sail, which
she made good use of during the race. Niobe and Vindox
wore third and fourth, but in the middle of Long Reach
Vindex ran through the lee of Niobe, and lost the third
place. To attempt to detail the trifling variations of dis-
tance between them as each caught a strong puff of wind
would be a waste of space. The boats kept the order in
which we have given them in running all the way down.
In Sea Reach the Volanto increased her lead materially,
being especially favoured by the wind suddenly springing
up when abreast of the Medway, which being duly culti-
vated, placed her considerably to windward of the others,
and they rounded as follows :

After rounding they all eased off their sheets and run up
with a light easterly wind, the Volante 'with a good lead.
A. calm then came on, and was succeeded by a light eas-
terly wind, which put the Volante a long way to windward.
The wind now at intervals died off, and then was followed
by light airs from all points of the compass. At Lower
Hope Point the Volante led by something like a mile and
a half, each yacht in its turn having been advantaged by
the slants of wind. At length it became a stark calm, and
the Commodore having waited, according to the sailing
regulations of the club, until 10 o'clock at night without
anything being seen of the yachts, the Queen of the Thames
returned to London-bridge at a late hour. The match
will have to bo re-sailed.

The population of Portsmouth is 100,000, and
there are no less than 277 public-houses, and 545 beershops,
thatis, one house for the sale of beer to every 19 inhabited
houses, and every 115 of theinhabitants.
