Regatta Opens at Canves.

Cannes, France, March 13.-The re-
gatta opened here today with light
breeze blowing. Ailsa, Britannia and
Satanita competed in the leading event.
Britannia started last but was cleverly
handled and soon secured the lead, with
Ailsa following her closely. Satanita,
never a good boat in good weather. but
a fine craft in a breeze, was soon left
far behind. Ailsa won, crossing the line
five minutes ahead Of Britannia. In the
race for twenty raters Samphire,
Stephanie, Joyeuse and Babelle started
in the order mentioned. Samphire soon
had a good head and was soon looked
upon as an easy winner.
A dispatch from Cannes to the Times
says: The wind was fiuky today. In
beating across the bay to the st. Lopez
mark, the Ailsa got a fine lift and gain
ed and maintained a lead. In the p
mile run, the Satanita was three miles
astern. The twenty-rater Samphire
won in hollow STYLE
