Two YACIIT-BACES took place on Saturday, the last
match for the season of the Liverpool Yacht Club ; and
the race for the Grand Challenge Cup, value £5O, given by
Birkenhead Model Yacht Clu4 The Challenge Cup was
won last year by the Presto, 'Mr. A. Bower, owner; but
as it is necessary that the same owner should win twice
successively to entitle him to :cold the prize, Mr. Bower
this year substituted his new boat, the Challenge, con-
structed by the builder of the Presto (Kelly, of Liverpool).
The following boats started :—Electric, 7 tons, T. Wilkin-
;On ; Truant, 31 tons, R. M. Grinnell : Challpnrn. fnna

[male, commo-

dore ; Kelpie, 3-} tons, E. A. Horley ; Torment,' 31 tons,
E. C. Hicks ; and Spirit, 4 tons, T. Wilkinson. An ac-
cident to the Kelpie threw her out of the race at an early
period of the day, and the contest afterwards lay between
the Electric and Challenge, until the latter was becalmed
for a few minutes before rounding the Dingle flag-boat for
the first time. Owing to the excessive rain, and the ab-
sence of breeze, the race was at times anything but like a
race ; for instance, the run to the Dingle from Eastham,
the second time, occupied upwards of an hour. In the
tome it was so dark that blue lights had to be
Monk's-ferry to, direct the yachts m their course-

final run 1

In -- fishing " their y home with the ebb tide, the Chat.
tinge gained ground wonderfully, for, although more than
half-an-hour behind the Electric, at Eastham, she was only
three minutes after her at the winning flag-boat. The
start took place at 3 5, p.m., and the Electric reached the
flag-boat at 86, p.m. At the conclusion of the race the
vice-commodore, Mr. F. Pembroke Jones, presented the
owner of the successful boat (Mr. Wilkinson) with the
purse of sovereigns which accompanies the cup.—The
match for the £3O cup, which did not take place at the
grand regatta of the Liverpool Yacht Club, on the 23rd
ult., in consequence of the very boisterous state of the
weather, took Place on Saturday, when the following boats
started :—Stanley, l6 tetra, Mr. Thomas Wilson ; Una, 11
tons, 'Mr. W. Harley ; Ranger, 13 tons, Mr. G. W. Moss ;
Mirage, 18 tons, Mr. J. R. Woodward ; and Priestess, 11
tons, Mr. A. Dann. The fleet proceeded down the river
in very pretty style, aided by the southwest b ebb tide, all the boats keeping well together ; anreeze and
d, a
spirited contest, the race
was won by the Stanley, awfter
which
came in at 6 20, p.m.
