YACHTING.

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.
COWES, MONDAY.

The annual regatta of this diatingu'ished aquatic
club is fixed for the present week—a somewhat
earlier period than usual, bat this is no doubt in
consequence of the anticipated arrival at Osborne
of her Majesty's Imperial visitors the Emperor and
Empress of the French, who will thus have an op-
portunity of witnessing one, at least of the contests.
Should the regatta be honoured by the presence of
the,Queen and her Imperial visitors, it will m( at
probably be on Friday, on which day the cup given
by her Majesty will be sailed for.
The programme for the week is now finally ar-
ranged as follows :—To-morrow, the Prince Con-
sort's Cup will be sailed for by schooners under 200
tons, belonging to the squadron—Queen's Cup
course ; on Wednesday, the annual dinner ; on
Thursday, the firewogks ' • on Friday her Majesty's
Cup, for cutters under 100 tons, belonging to the
squadron, and in the evening ie annual ball ;on
Saturday the last event will be a match for the
squadron's cup—that is to say, for a purse of 50
sovereigns subscribed by the members. This is
open to competition by yachts of any club, English
or foreign, exceeding 35 tons measurement, ac-
cording to the usual regulations.
The yachts now and about the station are the
schooners Zara, Titania Cecile, Eugene, Urania,
Lancashire Witch, Magic, Beatrice, Storm Finch,
and Fancy, Catters:laritana and Bacchante.
There are also yaehts belonging to other clubs, viz.,
the Pearl (late the property of the Marquis of
Anglesea), of the Liverpool club ; Vision, Dawn,
and Minion, of the Thames club ; and the Harle-
quin, of the Cork club.
In addition to the above arrangements, the town
regatta is fixed for Thursday, and will probably be
honoured by the presence of her Majesty in the
royal yacht.
The Victoria and Albert arrived from Ports-
mouth this morning, and is now at anchor off the
parade.
