ENGLISH YACHTING PROSPECTS.
from Bells Life in London. Jan. 241

lfTOm BelS Lie In LOnuOu, jan. Z4I
In course Of a recent visit to the yachting build
ing yards in the south we were pleased to find on
all hands an unwonted amount Of business and
activity even for this season OF the year, the
Cowes, Gosport, LymingtOn and southampton
builders being all deep in new work or otherwise.
Taking southampton first In order, and judging
by the number OF yachts in winter quarters there,
the Itchen this year nearly divides honors with
the Medina, the great mail port, from Its
close proximity to the metropolis, and with
every requirement for fitting out easily obtainable,
being probably now regarded the most convenient
venue for lying in ordinary. Fay's yard, at this
port, has grown into a wonderfully extensive es
tablshment, feet of upwards OF thirty yachts
now massing there. We have never seen better
ordered or more convenient premises for the pur.
pose and we here had the pleasure OF viewing,
high and dry, several Of the most famous OF
the racing division The signs OF the approaching
season are rapidly becoming manifest along the
Itchen banks, several OF the cracks-notaby the
Cetonia, Egeria, Arethusa, Lizzie, &c.-beng In
