SAILING MATCH.

The Match for the Silver Cup given by the Thames Yacht
Club was yesterday renewed. It will be remembered that the
prize was claimed at a former trial of skill by the Lady Louisa,
which would have been entitled to it had not a dispute arisen.
It was stated that she ran aground, and that one of her men
got overboard to push her off; contrary to the rules of sailing.
The Spitfire, which came in second, had also committed some
irregularity, and it was arranged the( the match should be sailed
again. The Lady Louisa is a new boat, and considered one of
the quickest on the river. She,,,wal expected to heat every
other vessel of the same class, and' considerable bets were made
upon her. The superiority assigned to this sailing boat seems
to be well founded, and the result of yesterday's sailing was
honourable to her Captain and crew, because it proved that
they had no necessity to aid the vessel by any irregular pro-
ceeding. The boats started from Blackfriars Bridge with a
light breeze. The Fortitude took the lead, but above Westmin-
ster-bridge the Venus and Lady Louisa shot ahead of all their
adversaries. The tide ran strong, and the boats sailed nearly in
the wake of each other up to Vauxhall. In Chelsea Reach they
had a strong breeze from the south, and the vessels made good
way. It was then evident that the Lady Louisa would maintain
her ground. Back from Wandsworth it was a close contest all
the way with the Venus. The latter standing for Cumberland
Gardens, kept to windward, having the Lady Louisa upon her
lee bow. When within a short distance of the winning point
the greatest anxiety prevailed among the spectators near the
scene of action. The Lady Louisa appeared rather too far to
leeward, but a strong breeze sprang up at the critical moment,
anti luffing up close as possible, she made the starting boat
at Cumberland Gardens, a few seconds before the Venus...
She was instantly announced as the winner by the discharge
of a pistol, and de cheers of the surrouding spectators. The
Venus also generously cheered the Lady Louisa, notwithstand-
ing she had lost the prize. There was no complaint of unfair
proceedings. The match gave general satisfaction, and the
Cup was delivered to the crew of the Lady Louisa, who in-
stantly displayed the prize, and gave three cheers which were
returned by all present. The victors then hoisteay large ilßg
of triumph, bearing the name of the successful vessel, and drift-
ed down with the tide to her moorings. Many boats attended'
the match, which displayed much skill and activity in all the
sailing vessels. The limits of the Thames between Westmin-
ster and Wandsworth are too confined to admit of much tact
in sailing; but the efforts on this occasion were more interest-
ing than usual, in consequente of having wind to fill the sails
and give power to the helm.
