AQUATICS.
BRITISH YACHT CLUB.
The annual above-bridge sailing-match of the yachts be-
longing to this celebrated Club, took place yesterday, for a
superb Silver Cup and Cover. The weather was most unpre-
pitious, and the attendance proportionably small, with the ex-
ception of the number of persons who conwk,gated on the
shore. Indeed, the recent accidents deterred many from ven-
turing forth, the weather being particularly squally. At half-
past four the boats came down to their stations, and at a quarter
to five the signal was fired from the starting galley for the boats
to be in readiness. The following had been entered to contend
for the honorary and valuable distinction : _ _

Yachts. Tons. Owners. Colours.
Brilliant..... 8 T. Tomlins, Esq Blue, and white stripes
Alarm ....... 8 ...... Ba3ley, Esq Blue, over red.
Selina.. 9
Margaret. 8
The was not at her station, she unfortunately having
capsized in the Thames Royal Yacht match of Monday, and it
may be remembered that the Brilliant, one of the boats that
did sail, went down with her crew about two years since off
Purflcet.

At about three minutes after five the signal was given, and
they started to sail round the boat off Wandsworth-meadows,
and back to the starting-place (the Temple-gardens). Tho
wind was S. S. W., and very squally. The 15rilliant had the
start well, and went through Waterloo-bridge first, and well to
windward. The Selina and the Margaret were together
under the sw..q arch. The Brilliant stretched out beautifully ;
the Selina 1071 f up well, but could not pass her. In the Reach
the two leading boats were on different boards, but the Bril-
liant was half a mile a-head, and rounded the flag-boat five
minutes in advance. There was nothing but the running down
to do, and the Brilliant won by twelve minutes. The others

were a mile astern
