LONDON, July %. 1870.
There Is immense exultation here at the success
OF the Cambria in the International yacht race.
AFTER THE STRUGGLE.

The excitement of the ocean race over, and the
logs Of the competing yachts having been placed
before the world. the prominent topic OF converse
ton throughout the city yesterday was upon the re-
suit of the great event. IL is unnecessary to re-
capitulate or crticise the details OF the contest,
already SO fully published Enough that the strug-
gle ia at an end and that the victor was hailed with
all the triumph he so well deserved. An hour De-
fore the Cambria passed the ghtship yesterday
there were probably not half dozen yachts within
sgnt OF each other. The moment, however, that
the expected signal was given they came together
in happy unison and greeted the winning craft with
appropriate honors. The welcome rendered her
was hearty and sincere, and fully justified the an
tlcipations OF the thousands who rushed from the
city to witness the spectacle. 1t was just In the
midst OF the demonstration that the news spread
that the Dauntess was at hand and the enthusiasm
accordingly increased. Perhaps pretter sight was
seldom witnessed the bay than that seen yester-
day afternoon the two lay at anchor WITHIN
o stones throw OF each other Yachts ru lhed to
them as fast as the wind could bring them,
and for hours sautes resounded from all quarters.
1t was consolation to all to know that the great
ocean race was over and oil anxiety was at an end.
1t was long time since the vicinity of staten Island
was 80 thoroughly animated, and 1t was near mid.
night ere the festivities were brought to q close.
But after the tempest comes calm The scene
opposite the Grub house yesterday afternoon was to-
tally different from what it had been the day pre-
ceding Not that 1t was less enchanting, yet the
element had ceased and general lull prevailed In
the morning the contestants lay at anchor, showing
the signs Of their heightened passage 10 the right
and left OF them lay the yachts Of the squadron and
save for the weaherbeaten look of the racers care
less observer could not have drawn much dlstnc-
tion between them. The Dauntless will 90 to the
ways at the foot of Tenth street to-day wnere she
Will be overhauled.
AS already stated, there was little or no excite
ment In the bay yesterday. Crowds Of visitors came
down during the day tovsit the contestants. Almos
every pleasure craft that passed by the anchorage
ground gave salutes, while their occupants raised
hearty cheers As usual, large number OF yachts
were cruising from the Narrows to the lightshp.
Among the yachts in the vicinity of the club
house yesterday afternoon, were the Phantom Fleet
wing, Alice Feur de Lis, Hacyon, Madeline, Magic,
Rambler, Tidal Wave, Restless, Alarm and Others
1t thought that very few cruises will be taken by
any OF the yachts until after the race for the cup
won by the Americas contest, by the way, which
Will create vast amount of interest.
