COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, AUGUST 17, 1149.
ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.
TILE QUEEN'S Cur.—The contest to•day has ended,
as we expected, by the little Cygnet winning the Cup.
'l•he day was all in her fill-cur; she was started by signal
at eleven, with a light breeze from the northwest, and a
bright sunshine; in 26 minutes 45 seconds afterwards the
Arrow followed her; the rain which had then set in had
reduced the bteeze nearly to a calm ; then the Dryad
started, and in another minute the Gondola. The
match created very little interest, as there was no doubt
as to which vessel must win. The afternoon setting in
fire, the parade attracted a grod many, but. the diseut-
batkation of troops from the Echo, and the bend on
board the Fire Queen, created more interest than the

yachts. These time matches are quite out of favour;
we heard nothing but regrets expressed that the yachts
had not been better matched, and that the stror•g wind
that bad visited ua during the rest of the week had de-
serted us to-day.

The yachts arrived as follows:
