ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.
The annual general meeting of the members of the
Royal Yacht Squadron will take place at the Thatched-
house Tavern on Friday next, the 9th inst., when there
will be a larger number of candidates to be balloted fur
than there has been at any one meeting for some time
past. The Royal Yacht Squadron's regattas for 1851 will
be arranged, and as there are likely to be a greater
number of yachtsmen afloat this year, the season pro-
mises well. There are more houses taken this spring
than there has been so early for years, as the following
list will show t—Egynt;House, BeachVilla,Oak-hilliHouse,
Grantham House, Gothic Villa, Tialalgar House, White
Rose House, Busigney House, Townahend House, Nor-
folk House, Avening Villa, Nos. 1,2, 3, and 4, Solent-
terrace, Rose Mount, and Cambridge House; several of
these are but for short periods, bus there are numerous
inquiries for houses for the
_whole season; the great re-
ductions that have been made In the rents is doubtless
the cause of this influx of fashionable visitors.
