COWES ROYAL YACHT CLUB REGATTA.

The Most Noble the Marquis of Anglesea,
The Right Honourable Lord Yarborough, } Stewards.
COWES, AuG. 3.—The first sailing match of the Royal
Yacht Club took place this day, for a Gold Cup, given by
the Club, value 1001., between the following vessels :
Vessels. Tons. Belonging to.
No. 1. Menai 175 T. A. Smith, Esq. M.P.
2. Lullworth 127 Joseph Weld, Esq.
3. Louisa ... 162 Earl of Belfast.
The yachts started, blowing a fresh breeze W.S. W. when
the Louisa soon showed her superiority of sailing, and
before she arrived at Gurnet Bay was a mile and a half
a-head. In jibbing her main-sail on coming round the
vessel moored at Gurnet Bay she carried away her gait,
when the crew lowered her main-sail upon the deck, and
spliced her gift with spars. After all this delay she beat
the Lullworth, and came in only four minutes behind the
Menai, who won the cup. There can be no doubt that
the Louisa is the fastest sailing vessel. She has always
proved herself to be a good one, and has won three cups.
The Lullworth is too small a vessel to be matched against
175 tons, and particularly when a fresh breeze is blowing.
The pleasure of the match was greatly destroyed by the
rain and dull atmosphere. Among the gaiety of the place
we saw the Duke of Norfolk, the Marquis of Anglesea,
Lord Yarborough, and many other distinguished indivi-
duals.—The next Regatta will take place on Wednesday.

GRAND CRICKET MATCH FOR A THOUSAND
GUINEAS, BURY ST. EDMUND'S, AuG. 3.

The grand cricket match for one thousand guineas,
commenced this day (Monday) between eleven of the Bury
St. Edmund's, and eleven of the Marylehone Clubs. At
an early hour the town was all alive from the influx of
gentry from the adjacent country ; the ground exhibited
all the beauty, wealth, and respectability of this great
county. At the commencement of the game the betting
was 6 to 4 in favour of the Marylebone, and large sums
awaited the issue.

The following are the names of the players :
BURY ST. EDMUND'S—J. Brand, Win. Blake, G.
Caldwell, Rutchball, C. D. Leech, D. Hanbury,
W. Quarles, King, Matthews, T. Pilch,
W. Pilch.

MARYLEBONE—B. Ai4dbie, C. Barnet, J. Dolphin,
J. Gardon, Wm. Jenner, T. Nichol, Woodhouse,
--- Burt, Cobbett, --- Saunders, and ---
Searle.

The wickets were pitched at eleven o'clock, when the
Bury went in as follows :

Matthews bowled out by Burt—Leech nothing, caught
out by Aislabee—T. Pilch 41, caught out by Cobbett—
W. Pilch 14, run out—Knatchbull 12, caught out by
Jenner—G. Brand nothing, bowled out by Cobbett—
Caldwell 16, not out—William Blake 3, bowled out by
Cobbett—King 8, bowled out by Cobbett—Hanbury
nothing, bowled out by Cobbett—Quarles 4, caught out by
Jenner—Wide Balls 6, making a total of the first innings
of 110. At the close of the innings betting changed in
favour of the Bury-5 to 4, and 6to 4 were taken. Much
to the disappointment of a crowded field, the sport was
interrupted by torrents of rain, and the game was adjourned
until the next morning. The batting of T. Pilch, who
is considered the first player in England, obtained universal
admiration ; the bowling on the Marylebone side was as
fine as we ever witnessed.
