COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.
COWES, AUG. 27.
PRINCE ALBERT'S CUP.—One of the members having
protested against the cup being given to the Heroine, on
the grounds that she started before the second gun was
fired,:and that she had been foul, the Committee decided
that neither the Heroine nor the Drift could claim the
cup, and that it should be sailed for again. Both declared
not to start again, and the Duke of Beaufort's yacht the
Intrepid, of 55 tons, sailed alone and won the cup. His
Grace does not intend to hold it, and it is said it will be
again contested for on Monday next.
Things do not seem to go on very pleasantly amongst
the nauticals. Some troublesome folks will always, some
how or other, introduce themselves into the best regu-
lated societies.
Lord Cardigan's splendid yacht the Enchantress is on
White's patent slip to be coppered.
Lord Fitzhardinge gives an elegant silver cup to be sailed
for by the yachts of this squadron on Saturday next.
