AQUATICS.
ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.

The gracious presentation of avery valuable cup by
her Majesty, who has been many years the august pa-
troness of this distinguished club, yesterday afforded
yacht owners a third opportunity this season of engaging
in honourable emulation, and produced a race so replete
with variety, interest, and excitement as to leave the
spectators nothing to desire.
The attendance of company was as mina!, most nume-
rous and respectable. The Ruby, well stored with
choice viands, and having the beautiful band of the
Royal Artillery on board, bad been chartered by the
club, and amongst the fashionable party she conveyed
were Lord Alfred Paget, Lord de Ros, the Hon. G.
Browne, General Pas, ancrseveral other persons of dis-
tinction. The Dryad •knd Waterman steamers were
thronged with respectatld company, and the Marquis of
Anglesey's Pearl, the Bianca, Avalon, Paragon, Fleur
de Lis, Fairy Qum Fernando, Frolic, Serpent, Sur-
prize, and other celebrated yachts accompanied the race.
The following were the entries:—
Statn. Name. Tons. Port. Owner's Name.
I... Phantom 21...L0nd0n ..... ...Samuel Lane, Esq.
2... Cygnet 3s...Soutbpton ....H. Lambton, Esq.
3 ...Secret 2b...Cowes R. Bell, jun., Esq.
4...Musquito ....50...L0nd0n Lord Londesborough.
s... Whisper 19 ...London Thomas Eveleigh,Esq.
6... Heroine 35. .Cowes .........R. Bell, sen., Esq.
7... Arrow B4...Southpton ....T. Chamberlayne, Esq.
B...Volante 4B . London . J. L. Craigie, Esq.

Half-minute time per toil for difference of tonnage.
The distance to be sailed was from Erith to the Nore
Light and back, and upon the arrival of the club steamer
the whole of the yachts were found at their stations, and
a more beautiful little fleet were never seen. There was
considerable speculation upon the probable result of the
day's sport, but the boats were all considered so good
and so evenly matched, that it was a difficult matter to
know which to prefer. Tho fine wholesome properties
of the Musquito would have certainly made her the ge-
neral favourite had there been a stiff breeze before start-
ing, but there was not, and "a nice light hair of wind,"
to use a nautical conventionality, however agreeable to
some of the others, is of but little use to her. The Vo-
lanto had made her elebiit in the last match, and had
shown such extraordinary speed in gentle zephyrs as to
induce a strong conviction that the day was well suited
to her capabilities, to say nothing of what she had yet
to unfold if a stiff breeze came on. Tho Arrow, the

largest boat of the fleet, was built so long as 27 years
ago, and has in her time carried off many valuable
prizes. Of the others it is unnecessary to speak, as they
have been so frequently before the public, further than
to obervo that the time-scale brought them all so much
upon a level as to render the prospect of success equal to
all.
Lord Alfred Paget, having, in company with his Vice
Commodore, Mr. C. Green, inspected the yachts at their
stations, took his position upon the paddle-box of the
Ruby, and preparations having been made the start took
place at 11 h. 32 min. 20 sec., there being a light breeze
from the westward.
Although the whole of the captains exhibited the u.ual
alacrity upon the signal being fired, the Volante was a
trifle smarter than the rest, and getting her head sails
first up with her balloon jib, was first under weigh, and
went out in advance, a position she long enjoyed. The
Whisper followed the Volante in her movements, and
was second for some distance, being the first to set her
' topsail. As soon as they were all well away, the Volante
was increasing her lead, the Whisper second, Secret
third, Mosquito fourth, Heroine fifth, Arrow sixth, in
which position they continued until a little way down
Long Reach, when the Cygnet had run into the second
place, it being free sailing enough all the way down.
Before clearing the reach the wind freshened into a
strong breeze, accompanied by a shower of rain, and the
boats " cracked" on at a beautiful pace, and the Mos-
quito getting steady to work, shook off the smaller fry,
began to decrease the gap between her and the Volante,
which was still leading. In the Lower Hope the
Whisper fell into the fifth place, and the breeze still
continuing to freshen, the hopes of the Mosquito party
were considerably heightened, as she had become a good
second. In this position the leading boats continued
without any change until their arrival at the Noro Light,
which was rounded as follows:

H. rain. sec.

As there was no sign of flood making, the boats
turned into the slack on the northward shore, and began
the process of beating up, but as the wind subsequently
northwarded very considerably they were enabled "to
lay up" a great part of the distance upon the return
which. they had not anticipated. The two leading boats
had scarcely rounded, when the Volanto carried away
her bobstay, and the Mosquito her topsailyard, but they
soon spliced it with a small jib-headed topsail, and as
the wind still continued fresh, and even increased in the
next two boards, they began to get very near the two
leading boats. Some beautiful sailing hero took place.
The Pilusquito was alongside of her and wont about, but
the Volanto, knowing the troublesome customer she had
to deal with, put about on her weather, and still 11
her under her lee. Some more manoeuvering followed; 10_1

By this it will be seen that the Cygnet, with her allow-
ance of time, won by upwards of three minutes; and the
cup was presented to her owner by Lord A. Paget, with
the usual congratulations, iu addition to which his
Lordship observed, he had no doubt it would derive ad-

ditional value in the estimation of the winner from the
fact of its having been graciously presented to the club
by her Majesty. Mr. Lambion having expressed his gra-
tification at the result of net contest, her Majesty'.
health was drunk with much enthusiasm and amidst
loud plaudits, and the party then returned, after paying
the usual honours to the commodore, to London.
The cup is a beautifully shaped shell in silver, in the
form of the nautilus, the handle being composed of a
group of nymphs and tritons, and the stem of Lotus
leaves, bullrush, and seaweeds, there being around the
base a group representing the triumph of Neptune.. It
was designed by Mr. A. Brown for Messrs. Hunt slid
Roskell.
