ROYAL YACHT CLUB.
:COWES, SEPTEMBER 21.
The oiling season drawing to a 'close, and many cif
the members being about to depart for their country re-
sidences, the Falcon, Commodore Lord YArtsortouoir,f
came into Cowes harbotir on t aturday, the 18th inst.
preparatory to a Ball his LOrdship proposed giving on=
Monday, to the Yacht Members and their friends. Sue-
day, his Lordship invited the Meribers lying in Cowes
Roads to dinner, , who, with their friend.§, amounted to
tweniy-two. The evening proved exceedingly wet,
which was the occasion of many Ladies despairing of
a fine evening for the Ball the next night; a favourable
change, howevert.taking place, from a shift of wind to the'
N.W. the weather cleared, and produced a fine evening.
The Falcon was coveted with an awning, and deco-
rated in the interior with colours, and the signal flags
of the Club, having the distinguishing flag at the stem,
with the letiers It. Y. C. and the Crown and foul An-
chor (permitted to be worn by the Lords of the Admi-
ralty), ornamented with laurels and flowers, brilliantly
illuminated, which, reflecting from the brass-work of
belaying pins, &c. had a most striking effect.
At ten o'clock, P.m. Lord YARBOROUOff received the
company; but, from the numerous assemblage, the
boats did not cease to board the yacht till nearly twelve
o'clock. Country dances, quadrilles, and &inch reels,
were immediately formed, extending the whole length
of one side of the yacht's deck. At two o'clock, A. 1.5.
the supper was announced, when the guests descended
to the three cabins—the tables of which presented a most
sumptuous display of every delicacy that fancy could
imagine, consisting of creams, jellies, preserves, Chani-
pagne, Frontiniac, and other French wines, and an un-
usual supply of particularly fine pines, grapes, and other
fruit. On withdrawing from this banquet, dancing re-
commenced, and was kept up with the highest spirit
and enjoyment till four, A. m. when the boats assembled
round the Falcon, to convey the visitors to their respec-
tive homes; and many of the boats, fitted up astbndo,-
las, with lamps, had a most novel and,pleasing appoofft.
ranee. About It o'clock on Tuesday the,broad .pendent
was struck, and the distinguishing burgee of the Club
