ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.
Yesterday the Royal Thames Yacht Club held their
first annual match, the prizes being 100 sovereigns for
the first class of yachts, 50 sovereigns fur the second,
and 30 sovereigns for the third. At nine o'clock, an
hour earlier than usual, the City of Canterbury steamer,
chartered for the occasion, started from London-bridge,
having on board Lord Alfred Paget, commodore of the
club, the membere, and a large party of friends. The
band of the " Blues," undaunted by its equestrian habits,
accompanied the expedition and enlivened the amuse-
ments of the day. The visitors had all turned out in
smart semi-nautical attire, and as the wind blew freshly
and the sun shone and the sky smiled propitiously there
were cheering anticipations of an agreeable aquatic ex-
cursion. At Erith, as usual, the yachts entered for the
race were found drawn up in due order, and the signal
being given, up went their, snow-white canvas with the
speed of lightning, and away they glided on their course
down the river. What yacht took the lead, and what
the various shifts and changes of the match were, it
would be vain to tell. The upper reaches of the river
afford no fair opportunities for testing the sailing qua-
lities of such craft, and the real merits of each are only
tested when they get beyond Gravesend, and are out of
reach of the reaches.

Tho yachts that first rounded the Nore were the Mos-
quito, the Cynthia, and Cie Cygnet. The commodore
did not, according to his usual custom, sail to the Nore

lighthouse, and there gratify the company by allowing
them to see each vessel wheel round the turning-point on
its way back. Ile was contented with announcing from
a considerable distance the order in which they re-
turned, and thus one of the finest effects of the match
was lost. The sail up the river presented no remarkable
difference from that down—tbe breeze sometimes
freshening and sometimes falling away, but never en-
tirely disappearing. The order in which the yachts
arrived at Erith, and the time, are as follows:

The yachts being run in three classes, of 30 tons and
upwards, of 15 tons and upwards to 30, and under 15
tons, the prizes were distributed accordingly, half a
minute time per ton being allowed for difference of ton-
nage in each class.
While the little squadron of yachts was bounding on
its way yesterday towards the buoy at the Nore, a
mutiny, not perhaps of so formidable a character as that
of which everybody has heard, but still sufficiently
alarming to ruffle the tempers of many ladies and to call
forth the indignant invectives from gentlemen, broke
forth in the commodore's steamer. Even the archiepis-
copal name of the vessel failed to restrain the vehement
wrath and disappointment of the company. Trusting at
least to lobster salads and other marine delicacies for
support during the voyage, they found themselves dis-
appointed. In the midst of plenty they endured the
pangs of want. Like so many clit.away sailors, they
saw all kinds of fish and fowl in abundance around them
of which they could not partake, and it is only wonder-
ful that in the midst of their sufferings some waiter
was not sacrificed, like Pedrillo, to the exigences of the
occasion. The club had neglected to restrict the
number of visitors to the cabin at any particular
moment. Some mischievous person spread the
report that there was a scarcity of provisions.
The panic spread. Everybody rushed below demanding
lobster-salads and pigeon pies. The steward, taking a
leaf out of the book of the prudent bankers, paid off his
customers in huge joints of cold roast and boiled beef
served in a very dilatory manner. The cabin was the
scene of the greatest confusion, anger, and dismay ;
vial-Ms of wrath were poured out freely on the hearts
of the unhappy waiters ; piles of dirty plates were lying
about on every side, and the remains of lobsters, the
bones of fowls, the empty-pie-dishes, the strange array
of filthy glasses and tumblers—all reminded ono more of
a harpy least or bacchanalian orgie than an English en-
tertainment. Salt water air may have a strong effect
upon the appetite, but surely the Thames Yacht Club
might take the trouble of layihg down a few simple re-
