THAMES ROYAL YACHT CLUB.

The first below bridge match of the season amongst the
yachts belong,ieg to members of this distinguished Club, which
boasts the patronage of her Majesty and Prince Albert, was
determined yesterday. It will be le membered that an effort
was made to tail this match on Saturday week last, but in con-
sequence of the calm which prevailed, it was found impossible
to get the beats lower than Erith, and in conformity with the
Club Isws, 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 Cass—Phantom, 20 tons, .1. F. Selby, E.sq., white
and blue ; Mystery, 25, Lord A. Paget, blue, white Maltese
cross; Mary, ;25, G. Keene, Esq., white, quartered red.
Second Class—Lady Louisa, 13 tons, T. Smith, Esq., blue.
Third Class—Brilliant, 8 tons, IL Fowler, E,-q., blue, white
strives ; 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
proceeded to beat down the
next possessed the call. In the third class the Sea Nymph
the Rival second, the Sea
was the favourite, indeed, money was laid out at even that she
would come in before the Lady, and claim, as we have stab d,
the second prize. This . Brilliant had her advocates, but her
size prevented much speculation on her merits.
