to 50 high pitch during the recent OCEAN race,
still continues In and around the city, and will
eliminate on Monday next with the great race for
the. QueenS cup, now held by the New York
Yacht Club, and II gain possession Of which w1s
the chief object Of Ar. AsbuEJ In bringing the
Cambria oye-, rather than to beat the Dauntless.
Tue latter object he has accomplished, hut 1t la the
opinion OF those best Informed about the matter,
that he has no chance OF success 1n
winning the cup over the courBe proposed
for next Monday. Out At Sea, they say,
Al IN race nom the ught-ship to Cape May
or around Long Island, the Cambria might stand
some chance; bat, oSer the course proposed,
vtsrs thets ia much shallow water and Irregular
tides, the Cambria, from her great deplh, stands
no chance, and cannot expect TO be named among
the Winnerz- Those which are possibly to be sue
cessful In winning the prize are-saJ the knowing
ontt-the Phantom, ldIer, or Palmer, should the
weather oa light; but, Il thero should be 4 fresh
