THAMES ROYAL YACHT CLUB.
The first below bridge match of the season amongst the
yachts belonging to members of this distinguished Club, which
hoists the patronage of her Majesty and Prince Albert, was
determined yesterday, It will be remembered that an effort
was made to sail this match on Saturday week last, but in con-
sequence of the calm which prevailed, it was found impossible
to get the boats lower than Erith, and in conformity with the
Club laws, yesterday was appointed to bring the matter to issue.
At ten the Royal Sovereign steamer proceeded with a highly
respectable company to Greenwich, where the boats were found
at their station.
First Class—Phantom, 20 tons, J. F. Selby, Esq , white
and blue ; Mystery, 25, Lord A. Paget, blue, white Maltese
cress; Mary, 25, G. Keene, Esq., white, quartered red.
Second Class—Lady Louisa, 13 tons, T. Smith, Esq., blue.
Third Class—Brilliant, S tons, H. Fowler, Esq., blue, white
stripes ; Sea Nymph, 10, C. Wheeler, Esq., white before blue ;
Rival, 10, W. Lawyer, Esq , blue, white quartered.
It will be seen by the above that there was but one yacht for
the second class, and from that circumstance it might have
been inferred that there was no necessity for her sailing at all.
Such, however, was not the fact, the question being, whether
the Lady was competent to a successful race with the third
class yachts, .as in the event of either of them coming in next
to the first class, and before the Lady, she would claim the se-
cond prize.
The great favourite was the new iron-boat of Lord Alfred
Paget, a very pretty specimen of craft of the full-match rate.
She was backed at even against the field, and the Phantom
next possessed the call. In the third class the Sea Nymph
was the favourite, indeed, money was laid out at even that she
would come in before the Lady, and claim, as we have stated,
the secondprize. The Brilliant had her advocates, but her
size prevented match speculation on her merits.
The wind was E. S. E., a nice fresh breeze, and at half-past
ten the boats canted round, and proceeded to beat down the
River. The Brilliant was first., the Rival second, the Sea
Nymph third, the Lady fourth, the Mary fifth, and the Mys-
tery last.
We have not room to describe the race, but the result was
as follows ;
The Mystery arrived first at Greenwich, at 55 minutes past
4; the Phantom at 9 minutes
past 5 ; the Mary, which we
understand had carried away her topmast, at 21 minutes past 5 ;
the Sea Nymph at 27 minutes 30 seconds past 5; and the
Rival at 4 minutes past 6.
W. Harrison, Esq., the Cornincdore, then presented to Lord
A. Paget the award of victory, a very superb silver breakfast
service, and the latter acknowledged the receipt in a very ap-
spropriate and neat speech. Mr. C. Wheeler then received at
the hands of the Commodore a silver salver ; and the prize left
for the Lady was a claret-jug, the workmanship of which was
much admired. The healths of her Majesty and her Royal
Consort were drunk with much enthusiasm.
The company landed early, much entertained with the ex-
cursion and the sport. The Lady came in at seven o'clock.
