In the unavoidable absence of the captain, Jonathan
Grindrod, Esq., undertook his duties, and performed them
with the tact and attention of a skilful yachttuan. The
commodore's signal gun being fired, away went the beau-
tiful vessels, at fourteen minutes before eleven o'clock,
canting almost 'simultaneously, and beating down channel,
most them with their topmasts struck. The smaller
craft, being more. readily handled, got at first a little
ahead ; but very shortly afterwards the Enigma took the
lead, and maintained it throughout ; the Echo, a fine new
iron boat; the Seabird, also 'a new boat, and the Hebe
being well up to her in beating down. After some fine
seamanship being displayed, the Enigma rounded the Bell
Buoy at lh. 50m. ; the Echo at lh. 56m. ; the Hebe at
2h. Sm., and the Minona at 2h. 12m. The Seabird,
which had gained •much on the headmost boats, aban-
doned the contest at 211. 10m., when near to the buoy,
having unfortunately carried away her pique halyards.
The other boatS lost ground outside, and were not timed
at the buoy. The run up, with a free wind, was beautiful,
and the winning yachts reached the flag-boat, at the Rock
Ferry, as follow :—Enigma, at 3 minutes 42 seconds
Echo, 3 minutes 45 seconds ; and Hebe, 4 minutes 31

seconds. There was a numerous assemblage of ladies and
gentlemen on board the steamer, who enjoyed the marine
scenery and peeps of distant landscapes. They partook
in the saloons, at two successive tables, of a sumptuous
dinner and wines, provided by Mr. Gough, of the Wood-
side Hotel. Quadrilles and other dances were also joined
in on the quarter deck, to the appropriate music of Mr.
Gribbins's excellent, though small, band, which played
choice airs at intervals. The Commodore, (John Grindrod,
Esq.,) at the close, distributed, in complimentary terms,
the three prizes, handsome three silver salvers, of the
respective value of £35, £25, and £l5, to the owners of
the three winning boats—the Enigma, though of the
second class, receiving the prize for the first class (accord-
ing to the laws of the club) ; the Echo, the second prize,
and the Hebe, the third. The whole amusements went
off well, and the company in the steamer were safely
landed from her at the pier-head.
