NORTHERN YACHT CLUB.

This very useful association commenced its
meeting in the Clyde on Monday the 30th ult.
The Yacht Club consists of an Irish and Scotch
branch, now including 169 members, and its
tonnage amounts to nearly 600 tons. It meets
tivice a year—at Belfast in June, and in the
Clyde in August. Having rendezvoused in
Rothsay Bay on Monday morning, the yachts
formed in line astern of the Commodore, and
stood over to Largs, where the boat races took
place. Four gigs started and rowed round a
boat moored off Fairlie, through a heavy sea,
which ducked the rowers considerably. The
first prize was carried off by Mr. Robertson of
Greenock's gig, and the second by a London
built boat belonging to Mr. Langtry of Belfast.
In the evening a ball took place attended by 150
persons ; the ball room was tastefully decorated
with evergreens and flowers, and enlivened by the
line music of Cunningham's band; dancing was
kept up with spirit till an early hour in the morn-
ing, and attended by all the beauty 'and fashion
of
,lhe neighbourhood.
Tuesday was appointed for the race of the
vessels of the first class, which were to sail round
Lamlash Island to Rothsay. Eight yachts started
with a fine westerly breeze ; but it having turned
calm, followed by light southerly and variable
winds, darkness closed the day ere the race was
finished, by Mr. M'Cracken's cutter, Ariel,
arriving at half-past 11, only 1i minute before
Mr. Smith's Amethyst. Another ball took place
in the evening, at Rothsay, attended by all the
beauty and fashion of that gay watering place.
Visitors came for the occasion from Glasgow,
Greenock, Largs, &c. and amongst the number,
some military gentlemen from the former place.
The company amounted to nearly 200. On
Wednesday the vessels of the second class sailed
round Little Cumbrae to Greenock, passing in-
side of a boat moored near Largs. Five vessels
started, Amethyst, J. Smith, Esq. ; Gypsey, W.
Robertson, Esq. ; Falcon, W. Brown, Esq.;
Elizabeth, J. Mac Nair, Esq.; and Nancy, J.
Cairnie, Esq. arriving at Greenock in the order
here set down, the Amethyst about 2i miles
a-head of the Gypsey, at about 5 o'clock p.m.
The wind was squally, and blew fresh from the
South, but gradually calming as they approached
Greenock, till scarce enough was left to conduct
the last cuttersithither.
