The Sun.
London, England, 1851-08-21 00:00:00

AUG. 20.

For this match the following yachts were entered :
Capricorn, 313 tons—C. M. Talbot, Esq.
Wyvern, 206 tons—Duke of Marlborough.
CJestance,*2lB tons—Marquis Conyngham.

Beatrice, 161 tons—Sir P. Carew.
Gipsey Queen, 160 tons—Sir H. B. Hoghton.
The day proved a fine one, the breeze a light one
from the S.W. The Gipsey Queen got the lead and
kept it throughout.
THE CHALLENGE.

G. P. Stephenson, Esq., M.P., has accepted the
American commodore's challenge to sail for 1001. in
his iron yacht, the Titania, of 100 tons. The day is
not yet made public.
MATCH THE SECOND.

The Constance, 218 tons, is to sail the Destiny,
207 tons, for 100/. ; day not fixed.
The American yacht and the Grand Match on
Friday next seem to be almost the only thing thought
of by the yachtmen (if we except the ladies and the
ball to-morrow night).- There are strange stories
about her, some of our sailors will have it that she has
a screw propeller, and can go as fast as she likes—
when she likes.
Yatclismen are choosing their favourite yachts and
their chances against her; some wish to see the Flirt,
but of the vessels entered the " Alarm," " Gipsey
Queen," and " Volante" are the favourites ; much de-
pends on the wind. 'Tis said that the "America" has
been offered for sale for 8,000/. ; an English vessel of
her tonnage would cost about 5,000/.

MISFORTUNES NEVER COME SINGLE.—An old
blunderhead having purchased a ticket for a cheap trip to
Poulton-le-Sands, went down to the station on Saturday
morning, but just as the train was about to start, he dis-
covered that he tad left his dinner wallet and ticket at home.
Away ho ran back, but on his return to the station the train
had gone. There was, however, one hope left another
train would start at ten o'clock, so old Jemmy (our cheap
tripper's name) trudged back to the town, to wait, till ten,
when 10, friend Jemmy found himself without snuff ! He
purchased some, tau left, without knowing it, his purse on
the shop counter He then hurried to the train, and took
his seat, but instead of going to Poulton-le-Sands he was
c
and being unable to pay his fare back, be
trudged home on foot, got gloriously drunk, was locked up
by the police, brought before the magistrate on Monday, and
t o
fined the usual amount of five shillings. James's purse in
the meantime, which had been warned by the bellman, was
rodvgee d
money,m to Poulton-le-Fylcie. Here he missed his purse
and
Lund and restored to him.—Preston Chronicle.
GAMBLING IN AD BADEN B
-. EN. —An event some-
what untpual in the gambling watering places of Germany
occurred at Baden-Baden two or three days ago. A Russian
nobleman, an officer in the guards, broke the bank on two
successive evenings, pocketing more than 30,000 (manes.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
YORK AUGUST MEETING.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, FOUR O'CLOCK.—The
" disinterested" conduct of the London and North-
Western directors in starting a train at prices (155.,
10s., and 55., for the double journey) which, after pay-
ing toll over the York and North Midland line, insured
a certain loss to the shareholders, attracted some fifteen
hundeed people to the Euston-square station yesterday
morning, and enabled them to fill no less than forty-six
carriages ; a few with members of the betting ring, but
the majority with characters whose peculiarities were
displayed in the course of a journey of nearly ten
hours (:), by an extensive transfer of purses, watches,
and portmanteaus. We are told that the scenes at the
stations were disgraceful, and we know that a dread of
a repetition of them will induce the respectable portion
of the passengers to throw their tickets behind the fire,
and retire by a different route. The Great Northern
ran their spscial train at the double journey express
fares ; it was well patronized, and like all their trains
iu the course of the day, kept admirable time, in this,
as in all other respects, having a great advantage over
the rival companies. By these, and various other lines,
an immense number of passengers have been conveyed
to the city, and the streets this morning hale been
almost impassable ; if numbers, therefore, will insure
success, this will be one of the most brilliant meetings
ever held at York, and that it will not want good sport
and plenty of it to make it so, the list for the three days
places beyond a doubt. The weather is dull and
threatening, and the attendance the fullest we have seen
on the first day for many years.
