THE CAMBRIA THE WINNER.

The CAMBRIA IHE WINNER.
NEW YORK, July 27-4P. M.-The Cambria
Las Just arrived at Sandy Hook.
The Dauntless is reported in sight off the
Highlands.
New YORK, July 27.-The announcement
of the Cambria's arrival created great ex-
element in this city, the colors of the yacht
being promptly displayed from the City Hall,
and her victory announced by the firing of
cannon in City Hall Park. The Cambria pro-
ceeded up the bay, flying the stars and stripes
at her fore, and attended by numerous tugs,
yachts, and craft of various descriptions, and
came to anchor off Stapleton, Staten Island,
at half past 1. Her progress up the harbor
was greeted with a demonstration of welcome
from all passing and accompanying vessels,
which the Cambria acknowledged by her
colOrs. The Cunarder Scotia and Cuba, of
the same line, just entering port, fired
salutes as they passed the Cambria. The
Long Branch steamer Plymouth Rock, how-
ever, made no recognition Of the winning
yacht. A number of tugs and yachts, gaily
decorated, went down to the Cambria from
the city, and hearty and cordial congratula-
tons were exchanged with the ~victors.
The Cambria passed Sandy Hook at 3'45
P. NJ, and the Dauntless at 4'55 P. NJ.
The sailing master of the Cambria says that
the yacht never sighted the Dauntless after
the night of the start. She reached Cape Race
in eighteen days; had many fogs and saw
many icebergs. The greatest run any one
DAY was POS miles. She passed Sandy Hook
Eght-ship one hour and thirty minutes ahead
of The Dauntless. The sailing master also
says the Cambria passed a pilot boat last
night, and the Dauntless passed the same
vess.l, which remained about stationary
twelve hours afterwards. Lorillard, who was
a passenger on the Dauntless, reports that she
lost two men overheard, and spent two hours
and & half in vain efforts to pick them up.
The Cambria proceeds to the Navy Yard to-
morrow to be overhauled. 1t is understood
she will go to the West Indies after the re-
gatta in this harbor.
