THAMES YACHT CLUB MATCH.
The annual sailing match, under the rules of this
club, for the grand challenge cup, came off yesterday.
The point of starting was from the moorings off Green-
wich Hospital, the boats to round the flag buoy at
Coalhouse-point, about two miles below Gravesend, and
back to Greenwich. The matches for this cup were
first commenced in the year 1840, and by the rule then
established the winner was to retain the cup for a year,
when it was again to be sailed for. If any boat should
win the cup two years in immediate succession, the cup
was to become the property in perpetuity of the owner
of such boat ; if not, it was again to be contested. It
has so happened, that for seven matches in has been won
by seven different boats, and till -yhaterclay it almost
seemed that it was destined annually' to change,handa,
and that nobody would be longer 'than a yef}e-the pos-
sessor of it. It will be seen,• however, that its fate is
now determined, end- thit it has at length beecune the
property of Mr. .T. W. Smith, the owner of the Secret,
who won it last season, and won it again yesterday.
The match was well contested, and excited a great deal
of interest. The weather was unfavourable for the at.
tendance of much company, nevertheless there was a
tolerably numerous gathering of ladies and gentlemen
on board the Meteor steamer, in which were Captain
Barwell, the Vice-Commodore, and the other officers of
the club, a band of music under the direction of Mr.
Adams, and such other accompaniments as a good com-
missariat, &c., could supply. The match was commenced
at a quarter-past eleven, the tide running down, and the
wind blowing in squalls, with rain and sleet, from the
west. The yachts in the match were these :-
1. The Antagonist, 25 tons—Mr. G. P. Naylor.
2. The Ino, 25 tons—Mr. H. Gibson.
3. The Secret, 25 tons—Mr. J. W. Smith.
4. The Challenger, 22 tons—Mr. Fradgley.
5. The Prima Donna, 25 tons—Captain I. L. Ives.
6. The Zuleika, 20 tons—Mr. M. King.
At starting the Secret took the lead; the Ino came
next, then the Antagonist, then the Challenger, then the
Zuleika, and lastly the Prima Donna. The three last-
named boats were awkwardly clustered together for a
minute or two, but it can hardly be said there was any
fouling, although they did not cant freely in consequence.
At Woolwich the Zuleika passed the Antagonist to lee-
ward, and was third boat in the match, the boats making
a running match of it, with wind at intervals and a good
tide beneath to float them along. Off Purfleet the
Zuleika passed the Ino, and was second boat, drawing
upon the Secret, which off Tilbury-fort she passed to
windward, and for a time was the leading boat in the
match; her success was, however, very short-lived, for
before reaching Coalhouse-point the Secret gained her
position, and was the first boat to round the buoy, which
she did at 57 minutes and 20 seconds past 1 o'clock., She
was followed by the Zuleika, at 58 minutes 20 :seconds
past 1 o'clock; by the Ino, at 59 minutes 31 seconds
past 1 o'clock; by the Antagonist, at 1 minute 21 seconds
past 2 o'clock; by the Prima Donna, at 6 minutes 35
seconds past 2 o'clock; and by the Challenger at 8
minutes 30 seconds past 2o'clock. The tide was now within
an hour of flood, so that for some time the yachts had to
contend with it. Tacking was commenced, and the
match became full of interest. The -Secret, however,
kept the lead the whole way back; and it was soon ap-
parent that, barring accidents, her success was certain.
She reached the winning flag at 14i minutes to 6 o'clock,
thus gaining for her owner the long contested cup; and
was followed by the Ino at 12/ to 6, o'clock; by the
Antagonist at 11f to 6 o'clock; and by the Zuleika at
4i minutes to 6 o'clock. The match was a good one,
and well sailed by all the boats. Captain Barwell, in the
absence of the Commodore (Lord A. Paget), whose
duties required his attendance elsewhere, presented the
cup to Mr. Smith. Captain Freestone, R.N,, also said
a few words on the occasion, and the company expressed
their gratification in long and loud cheers.
The steamer then brought back the numerous party
to London-bridge, and the business of the day was closed.

THE FIRE NEAR THE SURREY TREATRR.---U

making inquiries last evening as to the state of MriC Potter,
the young woman who was so dreadfully injured by jumping
out of the window of the Cole hole Tavern, whilst the place
was on fire on Monday morning last, it was ascertained
that little hopes could be entertained of her recovery. It
appears that she fell with such violence upon ova of the
iron railings as to bend the same. The part most hurt is
the poor creature's spine. Alr. John Tabernacle, the pro-
prietor of the building, is also still in great pain, 1 sot nothing
fatal in his case is anticipated. It was stated yew erday that
upwards of 2001. in cash, besidts the stock in tray le and fur-
niture, had been consumed. We are happy to be at de to state
that the firemen have since found the whole of t the money
in the ruins, which was not all injured by the eel ion of the
ftem ,
