sleep on't," and her patrons thawed off but tamely. At
eleven o'clock the boats were arranged from the Kent
shore, after being rearewed by the Commodore, 'H. Har•
riaon, Esq. On the gun being fired the Ala Jane had
the advantage at the start, but all were well up, and
cleared down slightly before the tide, there being a calm at
the time. The breeze, however, freshened when they had
got well under weigh, and the Virtorine took the shine out
of the little Jane to windward, and in a few seconds after
the Witch made a similar start. The Sabrina at Wool-
wich seemed " eager for the fray," and went gallantly
before the wind into the first place. The coup d'ocil at thin
time was grand in the extreme ; a sheet of canvass would
have neatly covered the whole fleet. The moneeuvrim;
was grand in the course of the different reaclic', although
the continuil cry on board was that the "sailing"
would he coming up ag tinst the ?loser, which now
blew keenly. The three leading boats hauled in their
wind frequently, and never, considering the disparity of
tonnage, was better sailing shown than that of the little
Witch. The uninitiated on board gave their best
wishes to the later boat from the gond old English prin-
ciple—they wished she might win because she was such
a little one ; but vain were their hopes. It was evident
that she could not carry canvass enough to overhaul her
lager rivals, hut gallantly did she make her way through
the water; and when the breeze subsided but for an in-
stant she got in the advance to windward. At 21
minutes past two the Sabrina rounded the flag-boat at
Gravesend, the Victorine at 24 minutes, the Witch at
24 minutes past, and the Ada Jane at 35 minutes past.
The Sabrina never lost her advantage up, notwithstdnding
the eft es of the Vielorine. E tch made their board and
went about, but in making the points the Sabrina evi-
dently had the advantage. The Vicl'trinc evidently loot
way by standing out too much, and the better part of the
contest was between the Ada Jane and the Water Witch.
At 23 minutes past seven the Sabrina rounded the dig
boat at Greenwich. at 27 minutes past the Victorinc
followed, and the Water W itch at 3S minutes past. Mr.
Harrison then mounted by the windlass and presented the
cup. surmoun'ed by a gold crown. The duty he had to
perform was a most pleasurable one ; it was to presem
the winner with the valuable reward of superior merit,
and never had merit Rhone with more advantage than in
the splendid sailing of that day. Independent of having
bestowed the pr ze on Mr. Gunston, it had afforded the
ladies and gentlemen on board the highest gratifiettion.
He repeated the pleasure he felt in presenting the trophy
of victory to a gentleman whose name had baen known and
respected as the owner of sailing craft for forty years.
Mr. Gunston's heart was too full to return thanks, and
he thought the presence of the highly respectable company
on hoard had stimulated his exertions.

The ladies then wal zed home to a good band, and each
and every one (save the loserslexpres,ed their ,atisfaction.
