RANELAGH YACHT CLUB SAILING MATCH.

The first above bridge match took place yesterday
among the yachts belonging to the Rauelagh Yacht
Club, for a silver cup and cover, over the usual course,
from Battersea-bridge to Putney twice over. The
weather being very fine, a large assemblage of specta-
tors was attracted to witness the match, which, from the
large number of entries and excellence of the craft, created
considerable interest. The following were the entries,
viz.:—

Yachts. Tons. Owners.
Zouave
Eugenie
Mary
De ibtful
Alice 5 Mr. Guest.
Belle
Cremorne
The yachts started at 1.59, the Alice being first in
trim, then the Belle. The Alice directly took the lead,
followed by the Btille, Cremorne, and Eugenie, the latter
of which passed the Cremorne opposite her namesake ;
the Belle (having on board Lord Do Roe) then passed the
leading boat a little higher up, and became first, but
through some mistake rounded lower down than the
buoy at Putney, and did not discover her error till she
bad sailed towards home about a mile, when she went
bank and rounded. The wind was fair up, being SSE ;
but there was more work to do coming down. At
Wandsworth Pier, on the return, the Eugenie led, fol-
lowed by the Alice about four lengths astern; Zouave
thirl ; Belle fourth. In this order they continued to
Battersea-bridge, where they rounded the lowered buoy
in the following time and order :

Eugenie
Mice
Zeuare
Belle
Cremorne

H. M. 8.
2 48 0
.. 2 50 20
.. 2 51 15
. 2 52 40
.. 2 53 0

The Mary and Doubtful fell avtern, owing to a colli-
sion directly after the start. Directly after they turned
to go up again the Alics carried away her bobstay, and
consequently allowed the Laiave to pass her, the Eugenie
still keeping bier lead. TnuS they continued to the finish,
the Belle gradually marking the Alice, and the finishing
time was as follows-:

H. M. B.

Eugenie
Zouave
Alica
Belle
Cremorue

. 3 35 10
3 37 25
. 3 41 40
. 3 43 45
. 3 50 0

Although this is the order in which they came in it is
alleged that the two first named are disqualified and out
of the race:. 'The reason assigned for this is the allega-
tion, stoutly maintained, that neither of them rounded
the upper boat the first-time, but turned eherb of it, an
assertion strongly negatived by the owners and others.
There is another matter imported into the race—a pr.:-
test by the Belle against the Mice for a foul; and in order
that ample justice may be clone to the merits of the case,
the matters-1n dispute will be referred at the earliest op-
portunity to the sailing committee, who will determine
upon the evidence adduceo before them.
