COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
FROM OUR OWR CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, AUGUST 16.
ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.
THE CLUB Cur.
This match did not close till nearly three o'clock this
morning, when the Arrow, Thomas Chamberlayne, Esq.,
came in, followed by the Freak ; then came the whole
fleet of yachts, cracking on with a spanking breeze.
THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH'S CUP.
This was the most interesting match that has been
witnessed here for years; till within two minutes of the
yachts coming in, no one could tell which would be the
winner. The contest was between the following fine
schooners:—
The Destiny, ]O7 tons, William Wells, Esq.
The Titania, 100 tons, G. R. Stephenson, Esq.
The Wyvern, 205 tons, Duke of Marlborough.
The Mirage, 126 tons, Marquis of Ormond.
The Ballerina, 117 tons, John Davenport, Esq.
They started at eleven o'clock, with a fine breeze from
the N.N.E., the Titania taking the lead, which she kept
till they had got back to the entrance of the Southamp-
ton river, when the Wyvern seemed to have the advan-
tage, and they all passed the starting vessel yearly to-
gether; the first being only one length ahead of the
second, the third not being half a length astern of the
second, and the fourth having her bowsprit its whole
leneth over the third.
Club time as follows:

-h. m. s.
Destiny ... 5 26 50
Titania ... 5 28 20
Wyvern 5 28 30
Mirage ... ... 5 28 40
Ballerina ... 5 30 0
The tide was setting to the westward, and every one
feared damage would be done, the yachts being all to-
gether. It was a most beautifully interesting sight.
FIFTH DAY.—HER •MAJESTY'S CUP.
The following yachts are entered for to-morrow:—
Mosquito, Freak, Arrow, and Gondola.
Three hundred tickets have been taken for the ball
to-night.
