ROYAL YACHT. SQUADRON REGATTA.

COWES, AUG. 17.
Last night the annual regatta dinner of the members
of the Royal Yacht Squadron and their friends was
held at the Club-house. The Right Hon. the Earl
of Wilton, commodore of the club, presided ; the vice-
chair was filled by the vice-commodore, Mr. C. R.
M. Talbot. Amongst the company present were—
Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, with the Hon. .L Col-
ville, aide-de-camp, Captain Crispin, R.N., Sir Bel-
ingham R. Graham, Bart., Captain Beckman (of the
Swedish yacht Aurora Borealis), Mr. L. Depau andiVlr. E.
Thorne (the owners of the new American clipper Sylvia),
Mr. M. Leveson Lang, Captain Bagot, R.N., Mr. J.
Thornhill, Mr. W. Delafield, Mr. W. Delme Radcliffe,
Mr. Reynolds, Mr. J. Gordon, Mr. J. Weld, Capt.
Smith Baring, a,pt. W. B. Ponsonby, the Marquis of
Conyngham, Mr. R. Frankland, Mr. W. Petre, Mr.
Spencer de Horsey, Sir John Bayley, Captain 0. C.
Sterling, Mr. T. Chamberlayne, Mr. T. Littledale, Mr.
W. Lyon, Sir J. R. Buxton, Lord Exmouth, Lord
Mountcharles, Mr. W. Moore Dashwood, Lieut.-Colonel
Huey, Mr. G. H. Akers, Mr. G. Arkwright, Mr.
Joseph Gee, Captain Freemantle, Mr. R. W. Hoare,
Mr. A. Hamburgh, &c.
This day was appropriated to the race for her Ma-
jesty's Cup, value 1001., for schooners belonging to the
club under 200 tons, the course being the same as that
for his Royal Highness Prince Albert's Cup, viz., from
the Club-house to Yarmouth, from thence to the Nab-
Light, and back to the station-vessel moored off West
Cowes Castle. The following schooners were entered :
Yachts. Tons. Owners.
Gloriana 134 Mr. Joseph Gee ... Red and White.
Shark 159 Mr. W. Curling ... Blue Peter.
Viking llO Major A. Stirling ... Blue.
Irene 9B Mr. H. E. Godden ... Yellow and Blue.
Only the three first named, however, came to the
post, in consequence of a deficiency in the crew of the
Irene. The day was delightfully fine presenting a re-
markable contrast to that of yesterday, with a smart
breeze blowing from the north-west. When all was in
readiness for the start, scarcely before the flag No. 2
hoisted at the head of the signal-post of the Club-house
had time to get fairly unfurled, at half-past ten, the gun
was fired, the Gloriana taking a good lead, the Viking
following her at about a cable's length distance, and the
Shark about the same distance astern. The tide now
running down, they were soon well away, and they made
good their run down the western channel. At 11b. 11m.
on getting abreast of Garnet Bay, the Gloriana who now
held an excellent wind, was about a mile ahead of the
Viking, with about half that distance between her and
the Shark. The mark-boat at Yarmouth was rounded
in the following order :

Gloriana
Viking .
Shark...

H. M. S.
. 11 31 0
.... 11 42 30
.... 11 43 15

The vessels now had to beat up against a flood tide,
with the wind, however, in their favour. Subsequently
the wind very considerably dropped, and the Shark,
having gradually been creeping upon her rivals, suc-
ceeded, on passing Cowes Castle, in taking the lead of
the Gloriana, and came abreast of the mark-boat half a
minute before her. The following was the time of their
arrival :

H. H. B.
Shark
Gloriana,
Viking 1 50 0
The warmest acclamations greeted the Shark on her
arrival at this point, and ardent were th 4 congratulations
of her friends, but she had not long passed from abreast
the Club-house when the Gloriana began gradually to
draw upon her, and before she had reached Old Castle
Point the Gloriana had left her at a respectful distance
in her wake. At this point, in consequence of time not
permitting, we must defer all further notice of their pro-
gress until to-morrow, when the result will be given,
with any other matters that it may be interesting to the
aquatic world to know.

The Viking and the Shark are both new vessels, the
latter having been built by Mr. Worrell, of Poole, and
is considered to be a specimen of naval architecture.
The present is her first snatch, and from her sailing to-
day gives promise that as soon as her trim is properly
ascertained she will rank as a clipper of no small or
mean pretensions. The Gloriana, which at the time
this was written was the leading vessel, had the fortune
to win her Majesty's Cup at this regatta last year.
To-morrow a grand match will take place between the
Rosalind and the Gloriana for a stake of 200 sovereigns,
which is exciting a good deal of interest.
