• BRr.I'ISII YACHT CLUB.
thrrhe last below-L•ridge match of the season amongst
clubs instituted for the encouragement of yachtery,
place on .Friday. The prize, a Silver Cup and
f,,c)v;'r) .was given by the British Yacht Club to be sailed
by boats belonging to- members only; the' distance

rts usual in such races, from Greenwich Hospital
`o Gravesend and back, and shortly after ten in the
1114.13"rling the following took their places facing the Royill
40pitaL :—Brilliamt, Mr. Fowler, 8 tons,. blue mid
white strlnes ; Don, 31r. Gardner, i tons, blue; Daunt-
less, gr.. Edwards,- 7 tons, bloc. In this Club, althOugh
'ad-established, and we believe very respectable, there
are not a. sufficient. number of boats to make distinctions
an elas4,s. and although there is no deficiency of funds,
nual matclies are not annual matters with this, as with
.other clubs, nor do they perhaps create so much interest

as the races in other societies of imilar descril
•J‘' the :line Coats entered the Brill;
rite, and the on ,nt in rerne. The stert

t was the favuli-

at 20 minutes past eleven. They had good wide births,
and all swung round together, and the wind was blow-
ing slightly from the southward, a nice light air, with a
trifle of the west in it. The DauntleSs, which bad the
middle place of the yachts, set her jib first, and drew in
advance, although the Brilliant had fairly a right to be
considered the weathermost boat in the position at the
buoys. They run round Blackwall Point with flow-
in; sails briskly enough ; and as they entered the
reach to Woolwich, the • Brilliant came up with a
long leg to the Dauntless, and challenged her.
After •a few minutes of close sailing they jibed, and the
Brilliant went by her to windward. The 1)on, which
we understand is a long powerful boat in a stiff breeze,
appeared to do bat little at first, but off the town of Wool-
wich she came down hand over hand to the sand boat. Off
the Warren at Woolwich the boats were partially becalmed,
and the Dauntless catching the breeze off the Pond, went to
windward of the Brilliant, and again took the first place.
Some very scientific sailing was displayed between this
and Barking by the captains of these boats. The Bril-
liant tried to weather the Dauntless, but the latter
'aired. A second time it was attempted with a similar
result ; and whilt this manceuvring was going on near
the southward shore, the Don chose where the tide set
faster, and ran by them both. On nearing Erith the
Brilliant overreached her rival, and took the second
place. At Gravesend the boats rounded in the following
order :--The Don at 27 minutes :50 seconds past two; the
Brilliant 31 minutes past, and the -Dauntless at 32 ann.
48 sec. They had just just carried their tide down with
them; and although it- was fair sailing both ways,
there was a little heading work to be done up against
the wind, which had shifted a trifle more to the west-
ward, and which, with the -flood, had freshened.. The
Don rounded the flag very indifferently, and by putting
her helm down so suddenly, checked her way very con-
siderably. The Brilliant was better managed, and,
within five minutes after, weathered her opponent, and
in the next two or three boards was half a mile in ad-
vance, the Dauntless gaining upon the Don, and gave
some strong symptoms of leaving her in the lurch ; but
the other stole away, and as the wind partially died
avtay in St. Clement's, gained slightly upon the Brilliant,
but not sufficiently to give her backers any uneasiness;
and in a short time after the Dauntless took the second
place. The Brilliant arrived first at Greenwich 47 min.
30 sec. past five, the Dauntless 56 min. 30 sec. past, and
the Don a minute later. The Laurel steamer accompa-
nied the-match, with a highly respectable though small
party on board of her, and the cup was presented . With
the usual honours.
