BELFAST REGATTA.

The Regatta commenced on Monday, when six yachts of the 3d
class were entered for the prize of 201. given by the Club, but two
of these yachts, the Ariel, belonging to John Al'Cracken, Esq. and
the Red Rover, belonging to George 11. Macartney, Esq. did not
start, owing to their having previously come into accidental contact.
At half-past twelve the Ganymede, Colonel Madden, Commodore,
tired the signal gun, when the following yachts started, and returned
at half-past tour, in the subsequent order:
1. The Zoe, belonging to the Marquis of Donegal.
2. Peri. . • Nlolony, Esq.
3. Rattlesnake ... — Robertson, Esq.
4.
During the entire time of the race, the wind blew very fresh from
the N. N. W. not withstanding which the race was really beautiful.
The very unfavourable state of the weather prevented a large as.
semblage of spectators, though there was no want either of accom-
modation or aniusentent—a large number of tents having been erected
for the occasion, and there being besides Wombwell's menagerie, a
petit theatre, and other sources of convenience or of pleasure. The
rowing match for Sir 11. O'Donnell's cup was deferred till this day
on account of the tempestuous state of the weather.
Amongst the spectators on the beach, we observed the Marquis
and Marchioness of Donegal, Lady May, Lord E. Chichettcr, and
other distinguished personages.
In the bay, during the race, was a yacht belonging to his Excel-
lency the Lord Lieutenant, on board of which were two of his Ex.
cellency's Aides-de-Camp. as spectators of the interesting scene._
