ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.

COWES, AuG. 18.
HER MAJESTY'S CUP.

We gave a partial account of the progress of the race
for her Majesty's Cup yesterday, and it will be unneces-
sary now to do more than refer to it from the point at
which time compelled us to close the dispatch. On
breasting Old Castle Point, the Gloriana took the lead
of the Shark, and, although beating up dead against the
tide she continued to gain upon her, and passed the
No Man Buoy as follows :-

Gloriana
Shark ..

H. M. S.
2 54 0
`2 55 44

The wind from this point was light and baffling, and
but little progress could be made. When off Old Castle
Point the Shark make a long tack to the northward (the
Gloriana being then nearly half a mile to the windward),
and caught a strong wind from the north-west, which
brought her up nearly alongside the Gloriana before the
latter vessel felt the breeze. An interesting and capital
race took place from this point, which terminated in
favour of the Gloriana by 40 seconds only. The follow-
ing was the time of arrival as given officially by the
club :

H. M. B.
Gloriana
Shark
Viking 6 48 0

Great cheering greeted the Gloriana on her becoming
for the second time the winner of her Majesty's Cup.
As the time approaches for the great race for the
Royal Yacht Squadron Cup of 100 guineas for the
yachts of the squadron and the yachts of all nations, the
greatest interest is manifested. The American cutter
Sylvie from her trial yesterday has only increased the
confidence of nearly all classes that the Squadron Cup
will be won by her, and won triumphantly. She is a
perfect specimen of architecture, in which the minutest
details have received every consideration. The following
are the entries for this great prize
