COIUN 1111 AN CUPS OF THE ROY AC WESTERN YACHT 
CLUB OF IRELAND REGATTA. 
IfAlR-WAY-BUBY, I)aUK-MGHT- II ARBOUR, 
30ni May, 1854. 
1 )evr Sir, It is indeed with pleasure I have read the 
announcement that the Royal Western Yacht Club of 
Ireland proppsegiving prizes under the title t.f “ Coiintlinn 
(j' s " for yachts to he sailed and handled by gentlcmcu- 
mcm’hers of Royal Yacht Clubs. This is irltot we want— 
we have been quite too long playing at sailors on the 
unrter deck, and doing the nautical in kid gloves and 
bnus buttons. While I allow fully, that owners and their 
amateur friends should, as little as possible, intrude on 
the quarters of the men, or be seen lounging before the 
mast, vet there arc occasions when by their presence there 
they may do good service to the ship, and give new courage 
to their men ; but they must be workers, and skilled 
workers too, or they will do more harm than good. It 
won’t do to have them tumbling over the windlass, twist- 
ing like conger-eels among the anchors, or getting foul of 
die lore-sheet — they must know the time and place for 
everything be obedient to the master in command as the 
smallest boy on board, and as well up to their duty as the 
oldest salt then, and not till then, may they come on deck 
with the storm sails, and stand shoulder to Hiouldcr with 
their men. I am sure that on the land there are few 
members of our hunts who do not ride as well, if not 
better, than their grooms ; and I believe that our English 
or Irish steeple-chase, as ridden by gentlemen, is perhaps 
the finest exhibition of skill and courage that any country 
can produce, and that the men who have witnessed those 
struggles from boyhood, and taken part in them in after 
life, WOUW not funk, or become confused when charging 
•‘old Nicholas,” amidst a thousand horse. Are we then, 
who ride on this sea, to be behind those who ride on land, 
m e we to be more chary of touching a hempen bridle than 
they are of a leathern one. No. Let us then be up, and 
doing, and while our cavalry may be winning honours from 
the training of our hunting-fields, let us be ready to show, 
should the occasion call for it. that our hands can follow 
our hearts,— that our days of yachting were not days of 
eating, drinking, and idleness, but days of manly labour, 
where we learned the rudiments for a *' coast volunteer” — 
a man who may perhaps at some future day, be not less 
useful to the State than ouv militia- man. 
The Royal Western Yacht Club will no doubt have 
many difficulties io contend with, and hear many doubts 
expressed as to the possibility ot getting 'lands t>> man t lie 
yachts for the hundred guinea cup; let them nor, however, 
feel disheartened — there is not a yacht club but will be 
ambitious to have a vessel in the race — not a club but will 
send its contingent of men. The bay ol Dublin is perhaps 
one of the safest, if not the safest, in Great Britain, for a 
yacht race — no rocks— no tides — no squalls — and the 
steamers and ships so few to be met with, and only in the 
open sea, that, all is plain sailing, such a thing as fouling 
or going ashore being unknown. In the announcement tor 
this race the time is not Slated. Why is this? Arc there 
any local difficulties? As a member of several yacht 
clubs, 1 would not undertake the training necessary, or 
make any arrangements for attending if it interfered with 
the proposed races of my own clubs. I would suggest tint 
some stops should be taken by the club to provide on their 
station a yacht of sufficiently large tonnage as a practising 
vessel for’ any of their own members who are good hands, 
but have no cruft of their own,— let the club do this, and 
vneht-owners have on board on the fleet days, such hands 
•is they intend to ship on the day of the race — work them 
» ell at making and shortening sail, and when the rhuj cmnes 
they need not fear their men, when all arc rushing at the 
first flag boat. 
Wishing the members of the Royal W catevn l acht Club 
all success for introducing this new and useful feature into 
our aquatic sports— and apologizing to you for the length 
of this letter, which, if you were not one of our own hands, 
I never would have written. 
I remain, Dear Sir, ever yours faithfully, 
Oakum-wad. 
Cam a at non Usivbrsitt Boat- Races.— T ho fifth raoo took 
place on Monday evening, the boats smiling in the following 
order: — 1, Brasenoee; 2, Bnlliol ; 8, Christ Church ; 4, Worces- 
ter; a. Pembroke; G, Kseter; 7, Wndhnm ; 8, St. Julio's; 0, 
Triad v • 10* Jesus. There was n desperato race between Bnlliol 
ami Christ Church, tho latter having succeeded at ono point in 
veiling within a few feel of the former, and in this wav con- 
tinued up to the w inning boat, tho Rallinl cleverly managing to 
av.iiil a luiinp. Wadham hmnped Exeter midway between 
Sander a- bridge and llto Cherwell. The sixth race cniro oil' last 
evening, and excited more than ordinary intercat, in consequence 
of the general expectation that Christ Church would bump Bul- 
bul. Tho boats started in tho following order: — 1, Urasenose; 
2. bulbil; :j, Christ Clinvoh ; 4, Worcester; 0, Pembroke; G, 
\\ adlinni ; 7, Exeler; 8, St. John's 11, Trinity ; 10, Jesus. The 
race was gallantly contested by Bnlliol and Christ Church ; hut 
the utter did not succeed in getting any where so noar the former 
ns on the previous evening, and the hopes of many were *et at 
;cit about the probability of a bump between these bants. Wad- 
ham sin i ceded in bumping Pembroke near Snnder’s-bridge; and 
S:. John's, after a very pluckey and desperate effort, had the 
guod fortune to hump Exeler, utter passing tho Cherwell. 
The seventh raco will take place on Thursday, n id the eighth 
and last. on Friday. The general opinion is, that Braseuoso will 
retain the head of tho river. 
Nk i.Kt's Club Rack. — A very spirited race took p’.-ieo on 
Monday amongst Hie gentlemen of the Nolens Club, for handsome 
silver prizes. Tho distance was from l’ulney Bridge io tho 
veteran F. Godfrey's, Queen’s Head, Morilake. 
Me-srs W. Brunoombe, D. Mining, J. Roberts, D. Cairno, 
stroke, W. Marr, stccror (Orange) 1 
Mews. J. Curling, II. Jones, T. Roper, J. llorko, stroke, I). 
Ruck, stcercr (White) 2 
Two other crews started. All rowed throughout capitally, liein 
oar and oar till off Finehe's. Just above llio Crab Tree. Orange 
look t lie lead, closely followed 1)V tbe boat which subsequently 
came in third. On nearing Barne's Bridge, White rowed with so 
mnr'i pneo that they fairly drew a-licad of t lie lot, but wore un- 
able to keep it, nnd subsequently beaten by a couple of lengths. 
A dinner and bull, done in good style at Godfrey's, wound up the 
evening. 
Southampton. — I n tho present aspect of maritime affair* a 
very gratifying nautical spectacle was witnessed on t he South- 
ampton Water last wcok, in tho mustering of tho boating 
amateurs connected with t ho town. In conscquonco of the 
u»pnqii;ious slnlo of tho weather on Monday evening, they 
wero compelled to announce by hand-bills its postponement 
until Tuesday evening, when a proression, headed by Father 
Neptune in bis chariot of Hie Sen, with his trident nnd glittering 
shells, were provided, but the stale of the weather even then 
proven led tho programme as originally intended from being 
carried nut, and tho Occnnides nnd attendants on the Sea God 
wero consequently abandoned. A procession was formed, led 
by the Divinity, and accompanied by a good brass band under the 
leadership of Mr. Crook, npd proceeded from off Stoekhain’s 
Qnav, pissing round the Pier Head off tho Watergate Quay to 
the Platform Bay, and thence hack the same course to tho West- 
ern Shore lload. The quay and oilier places where the publio 
could obtain a sight were thronged with spectators, nnd Ins 
majesty was vociferously cheered. The following boats wore 
in the procession: — Hesperus, Kclnir, -Elbe, Morning 
Star. Sea Serpent, Aloiope, lied Lancer, White Swnllow, 
Beauty, Mercury, nud several other rowing gigs, with n host of 
small "craft. The appearances nnd dresses of the amateurs were 
very creditable, and ono or two of the gigs worthy of special 
notice. Sloekhnm's Quay was very prettily decorated with 
bunting, nnd, taken nltogctker. great praise is due to those 
concerned. Tho amateurs intend again shortly to favour the 
publio with something in a different way. Alter the display 
Neptune went to his pearly bed, and tho amateurs adjourned to 
tlu-ir boating loft, whore, over a cheerful glass, the usual loynlnnd 
patriotic toasts, including “ Sweethearts nnd Wives, "Pros- 
perity to t he Trade of Southampton,” &0., Ac., «e., were 
Jove rail v given and responded to. A busy nnd prosperous 
huaiii.g -o:i'»n is in prospect, nnd wo heartily wish our amateur 
friends all success in their future arrangements.

obtained tbe long number of 34 (imtoul) including u (3 lor u 
hit over the railings into tlio Cowley Ruud. Mr. Wille*,who
