DOVER REGATTA.
Doves, Aeo. 28.—From a very early hour this morning, com-
pany began to flock into the town in all directions, and every sort
of vehicle, from the dashing four-in-hand to the humble buggy, gig,
and dog cart, appeared to have been put in requisition; and by the
hour appointed for the sailing of the yachts (eleven o'clock). there
could not be less than 20,000 persons amiembled on sad near the
Marine Parade--every window, balcony, terrace, virande, and
carriage, was filled with elegaqtly dressed females. At break of
day the buoy vessels were moored at the respective distances, and
in the centre, Lord Yarborough's ship yacht took up her station,
most tastefully bedecked with Club Signal Flags ; the Committee
vessel, and the yachts not entered for sailing, were similarly deco-
rated, and had a beautiful effect. The morning, up to one o'clock,
was extremely lowry, with little or no wind, so that the yachts
could not display the nautical science which a breeze would have
afforded. The following yachts started for the silver cup of SO guineas.
Elizabeth . . . J. Moore, Esq.
Georgians . . . J. T. Bell, Esq.
. Giulia . . Gen. Johnson.
Elizabeth . . Earl Darnley. '
.

Dolphin . Captain Brown.
The latter yacht took the lead, and maintained it throughout the
match. Earl Darnley's vessel was tecond—but the race was uncom-
monly well contested to the last. In consequence of the boisterous
state of the weather on Sunday, several of the yachts could not get up
from the Isle of Wight ; and there being only two entered for the se.
cond cup of fifty guineas, it was withdrawn. In the middle of the
sailing match, the guns of the heights announced the arrival of Prince
Linneogen, oa his way to France. After the sailing match it came
on to rain very briskly, and great part of the company deserted the
boat-rates. first was between the Cluence_i of Dover ; Gipsy
Girl, of Deal; Comet, of ?Minow • and she Fawn, Sandgate.
In the first beat the Gipsy Girt sinfortunatejy ran foal of the Cle..
rence and upset her rudder, and the prize of twenty-five sovereigns
was won by the Comet. In the second boat-race, between the Fly,
George, and Jackson, of plover, the former woo the prise of twelve
sovereigns. In the third* race, between the Union, of Dever and
Mary, of Deal, for twelve sovereigns, the latter was the winner.—..
Amonst the company present was the Earl of Darnley. Earl Yar-
borough, Earl Aylesford, Sir E. Knatchbull, and Sir H. Ozenden,
Baronets, and a long list of ether fashionable.. An ordinary was
served up at Wright's Hotel, to the Mayor and Corporation, the
Members of the Yacht Club, ice. A Regatta Ball takes plat: this
