At a few minutes past twelve, the signal for starting
was fired, and the Sabrina got away clear ahead of her
competitors, the Lady Louisa and Widgeon being the next
boats in her wake. Tire Sabrina kept the lead gallant'y
all the way to Gravesend, where she rounded the flag_
boat at about eighteen minutes past two, followed by the
Widgeon three minutes afterwards, and the Alarm about
two minutes later. After this the yachts bad to contend
on their way home against a very strong wind; and some
very pretty sailing was exhibited on the part of the leading
vessels, and particularly the Sabrina, which boat was admira-
bly handled during the whole remainder of see con-
test which she maintained with the Alarm, that beau-
tiful vessel having, soon after rounding at Gravesend,
come up to her, and challenged her to beat her if she
could. The efforts of each were surprising, and a better
match was never witnessed. The Alarm, however, fir,tt
arrived at Greenwich, beating her formidable adversary by
half a minute. The Widge.n was third, the Success
fourth, the Ada Jane fifth, and the poor Lady Louisa
sixth, last, and nowhere. Soon after the termination of
the match the prizes were given on board the Sovereign
to the two successful competitors, the first prize to T.
Wanhill, Esq., and the second to Lord Alfred Paget, both
of whom drank the health of the assembled company from
them, and expressed their intention of winning a few more
such on future occasions, and the day's sport was then
brought to a conclusion. We ought to mention that the
Club are about to present addresses of congratulation,
through Admiral Fleming, to her Majesty, their patroness,
and to their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert and the
Duchess of Kent, on her Majesty's happy and providential
escupo on a recent occasion from the bands of the assassin.
