The victory of the Navahoe.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The regatta of the
Royal Southampton Yacht club was held
today. The American yacht Navahoe
won the first prize, and the Satanita the
second.
The Coluna carried away her bobstay
and was obliged to withdraw. The
Iyerna also gave up the race.
The race between the Navahoe and
the Satanita was very close and exciting,
the boats passing and repassing each
other frequently during the run.
The Britannia, winner of yesterdays
race, and the Vallzyrie, challenger of the
Americas cup did not sail in today's
race.
The signal gun was fred at 10 o'clock
and Navahoe was first to cross the line
followed by the Satanita, Colluna and
Iverna in the order given.
The London Times, commenting on
yesterdays yacht race says it must be adj
mitted the British yachtsmen thought
the Navahoe an outre model, and that
they had only moderate opinion of her
abilities She has fairly upset the pre-
conceived opinion in regard to her. She
is remarkably fast. No doubt light
weather will prove the Navahoe's forte.
Emperor William accompanied the
Prince of Wales on the Britannia. He
made himse one of the crew and ac-
lively assisted in getting in the mainsail.
When the spinnaker was set he grasped
the billiards and hand over han with
the crew he did his share of the work of
hoisting it into place. Occasionally he
took a spell at the lee helm.
