AQUATICS.
ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.
COWES, WEDNESDAY.—The first of the annual scenes
of contests by the yachts of this squadron took place
yesterday for a cup given by his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, the entries for which were restricted to vessels
of a small class (under 140 tons). The course was the
Queen's Course, from Cowes down round a boat moored
off the Nab Light, then back westward to a vessel off
Yarmouth, and back to Cowes, about 42 miles in all.
Three to start, or no face. The yachts entered were
the Mirage, 126 tons, belonging to the Marquis of Or-
monde; the Destiny, of 107 tons, belonging to W. Wills,
Eq.; and the Fernande, of 125 tons, the property of
Major Martyn.

At 23 minutes past eleven the first gun was fired from
the Squadron-house, and in five minutes after the second,
when the yachts heaved anchor. They were much later
in arriving at Cowes than was expected, and when they
passed the Squadron-house the time stood for the Fer-
nande 3.45, the Mirage 4.15, and the Destiny 4.19, this
vessel having lost her fore topsail.
Shortly after the yachts passed the Fairy came over
from East Cowes, having on board her Majesty and his
Royal Highness Prince Albert ; they steamed down to
westward, to take a glance at the contending craft.
The Fernande was the victor, her time being 8.49, and
for the Mirage 9.3. The Destiny was not timed, as she
had not got round the vessel at Yarmouth.

MANCHESTER REGATTA.
The second day's sport at these annual aquatic races,
on Tuesday, proved more attractive than the first, and
the attendance included may thousands of people. The
Austin Prize of 31. 10s., for youths under sixteen years
old, in four-oar gigs, was contested by five boats, and
the prize carried off by the Gem. The next race was
for the Towel! Cup of 151., and was contested by
boats of the Princess and Nemesis Clubs. In rounding
the buoy at the end of the course the Princess
was three lengths a-head, but a foul occurred,
which led the stewards to decide in favour of
a second trial, for which the Princess was allowed to
6, walk over." The most interesting race of the day was
for the Garrison Stakes of 101., contested solely by mili-
tary crews. There were four boats—The Swallow, with
a crew of Royal Artillerymen; Little Teaser, with a
crew chosen from the 90th Light Infantry; the Little
Wonder, with crew also from the Light Infantry; and
the Juba, with crew from the 3d Dragoon Guards. Both
the infantry crew were beaten; and in a deciding heat
the Dragoons gallantly carried off the prize from the
Artillery, but only by a length and a half in a two-mile
race. The Pomona Cup of 201., with sweeps of 265.
each crew, for feur-oar gigs of 2611. 6in., was contested
for by two Manchester boats, the Shakspere and the
Princess, the former winning by several lengths after a
hard struggle. The Champion Prize for two-oared
boats was won by the Sbakspere (Manchester boat)
against the Four Brothers (Newcastle boat, manned by
the Claspers), causing great consternation in the betting
circles, where 5 to 1 had been freely laid upon them.
The winner led at the close by four lengths.

HUNGERFORD MARKET REGATTA.
The twenty-eighth annual regatta for a purse of sove-
reigns, subscribed by the residents of St. Martin's-in-
the-Fields, took place yesterday, and collected a large

The race was in two heats, with tour scullers:—

bridge, and finish at Ilungerford. Tough went away
with the lead, and kept it. The others made a good race
for a long distance. •
