THE FIELD. 
atteud. A conversation ensued as to the measurement of 
yachts under rule 18, a rule which henceforth will bo most 
strictly adhered to. Aud on this head, with regard to the 
3rd class, or Serpentine Models, Mr. Bertram mentioned in- 
stauccs whore boats measured previous to a raco carao within 
the 1,000 inches (the measurement allowed), but after the 
race were fouud abovo it ; in ono or two cases a difference of 
20 inches taking place. The names of candidates were now 
proposed, and soino letters read from the Commodore, ex- 
plaining his unavoidable absence, and from tho Thames 
National Regatta Committee, a regatta at which wo may 
mention there will boa yacht sailiug match as well us the rowing 
contests already announced. The London Model Yacht Club 
will soon have a match botween their 12 feet vossels, all now ; 
and we hear tho Wasp, Mr. O. Bertram, tho British Fair, 
Mary Anne, and others will contend. 
The New Club, “ Tho Ranelagli,” mooting at tho Swan, 
as announced in our last, will also aid in reviving above bridge 
sailing. In tho L. M. Y. Club, entries for tho 12 foot match 
will bo made at tho next monthly mooting, tho first 
Tuesday in August, when tho prizes then about to bo 
contended for will bo “laid upon the table." Tho first will 
be in silver, and worth five guineas. In tho unavoidable ab- 
scnco of Mr. Hewitt, the owner of the Gnat, the cup was 
presented to the Rear-Commodore for conveyance to that 
gentlemen. A vote of thanks to Mr. Bartlett for the loan of 
the Llttlo Mosquito, during the recent match, was passed 
by acclamation. It will be reinembored that the Umpire’s 
flag was carried in her. Some noticos of motion wero also 
given by the Secretary and other gentlemen.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. 
The monthly meoiing took place on Wednesday evening, 
when, on the motion of R. S. Wilkinson, Esq., seconded by 
C. R. Tatlium, Esq., Captain Wheeler was voted into the 
chair. Tho Commodore, Lord A. Paget, M.P., subsequently 
arrived, when Captain Wheeler vacated his seat. The minutes 
of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, the 
Treasurer read his Financial Statement, by which it ap- 
peared that there remained in his hands, after paying all ex- 
penses, to 30th June, 1854, about £570, in addition to £1000 in 
the Funds. A ballot took place when eight candidates were 
declared duly elected. As the schooner-match was “ off” 
for want of entries, the members presont, about sixty, wore of 
opinion that there should bo no more matches this season, 
and that it would be politic in the elub to husband thoir 
resources for a brighter year. 
The following motion, proposed by R. S. Wilkinson, Esq., 
and seconded by JamesIIutchins, Esq. was unanimously carried, 
previous to the adjournment, viz “ That tho names of all 
members who shall bo in arrear, for subscription or other 
sums due to the club, bo posted in tho club-room immediately 
after the November meeting, and that the secretary do in the 
meantime communicate with such members.” 
RANELAGH YACHT CLUB. 
Tho rendezvous of this new yacht club is the Swan Tavern, 
Battersea, wlicro tho next meeting will be held on Wednesday, 
the 12th July, at eight o’clock p.m. Among tho business of 
the evening members will ho called upon “ to pay up their 
subscriptions;” “ to fix a day for the match and “to make 
entries of yachts.” The entries will close at 10 p.m. Mr. P. 
Dunbar is now daily engaged in the onerous duties of honorary 
secrotary, and we have no doubt he will rapidly bring matters 
into ship-shape. 
LONDON MODEL YACHT CLUB. 
The 92nd monthly meeting of this club was held at Andor- 
tou’s Hotel, Fleet-street, Vicc-Coinmodore Williams in the 
chair, and Rear-Commodore Gordon in the vice-chair, on 
Wednesday last, the anniversary of American independence. 
Thu secretary, Mr. Crabb, read the minutes of two previous 
meetings, which were confirmed, and then a ballot was taken, 
when Messrs. Wm. Skiller, Francis Maybery, and James 
Jackson (ominous name on such a date), wore duly elected 
iuto the club. The 13th rule was read as to arrears of sub- 
scriptions, when many members present paid up, an example 
which it will bo well for the few defaulters in this club to 
follow, ere it be too late. The annual report of the Royal 
Humaue Society was presented to the club-liWary, and on 
perusing the subscription list, we were astonished to fiod that 
the London Model Yacht Club is the only yacht club sub- 
scribing to this admirable society. July 19th (Wednesday) 
was^next fixed for tho meeting of auditors at Anderton’s Hotel, 
•t 7 p.m. ; a meeting which any of the club members may

former being apparently her more prominent quality. Tho 
course selected lor the match was ono which, starting from 
tho cast end of the great float, rounded a flag-boat at its 
western point, returning to round a flag-boat oft' tho 
gratton-wharf, repeating tho courso ns far as Mr. Laird’s 
yard, on which was tho winning ting-boat, Tho wind at 
starting (3.23 p.m.) was a steady hroezo from W.N.NV 
which gradually fell lighter. Tho Squib and tho Woo ono 
got first oil, tho Champion being slightly delayed. Tho 
Squib took tho lead and kept it to near Boulton, when 
Janie cleverly passed her, rounding the west flag woll ahead. 
In tho meantime, Champion, going on like a good one, 
and cutting ott a shallow corner, they rounded in tho follow- 
ing order: — 
Woo Janlo 4.35 30 
Squib 4 '•« 0 
Champion 4 ' 43 45 
On rounding, the two leading boats became gradually more 
separated, and finally reached tho winning flag.

The Champion having given up, lint receiving at tho con- 
clusion almost as much applauso as tho winner. Woo Janie 
was worked by Mr. Laird, and steered by Mr. Neviiis: the 
Sijuib by tho builder and a friend of the owner. 
Flic prizo was presented in a complimentary address from 
the Vicc-Commodoro to Mr. Hamilton Laird, who, in ac- 
knowledging tho compliments paid to him, stated his belief 
that ere long theso matches in the great float will rival those 
of tho largo class on the Mersey. 
THE ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB. 
The members of this club held tliolr usual meeting and 
partook of tho Houso dinner at the Marino Station, on Tuesday 
evening last. Tho river was vory gay— tho soiling match on 
Saturday for tho Chnllengo Cup, und l’urse of £123 value, 
appears to havo rnndo a stir ninongst tho yacht owners. Tho 
Cynthia had arrived from Dublin— her owner ut present 
holding the Cup— and was at anchor oil’ tho Murino Station. Wo 
also perceived the Cornlio, 33 tons, and tho Stanley, of 17 
Ions, cruizing about in front of tho Club-house. There wore 
four new members admitted by ballot ; and nflor buslnosa 
matters wero over, Mr. Saxby attended to explain and exhibit 
to tlio members somo very simple, but very useful Inventions 
of bis, which wero, by nil present, highly appreciated. Ono 
contrivance is vory simple and officiant. A metal chock with 
ono oblique centre, proves u complete atop to u chain or ropo, 
which requires only a child’s strength to pay out, but holds t it 
the samo time with a giant’s grip. Every yuchtsinun will nt 
once seo tho groat use of this invention, which is eitlior appli- 
cable to a chain cable, or tho main and jib sheets.

BIRKENHEAD MODEL YACHT CLUB. 
The second match of the senson, for a prize offered by 
this club, took place on Saturday last. The competition was 
between vessels of the second class, manned and sailed by 
amateur members, each boat being limited to two hands. 
The prize was an elegant timepiece of the value of £10. A 
great concourse of spectators assembled to view the contest, 
for which the following yachts were entered: — 
1. WceJante, sloop, 2 tons, Hamilton Laird, 
2. Champion, do. J do. J. I. Bishop. 
3. Kama, yawl, 2 do. W. J. Conlan. 
4. Squib, sloop, 2 do. J. A. Clarke. 
The Naum, though entered, did nut start. The tiny 
Champion, just big enough to contain Mr. Bishop, her 
builder and owner, who is also the builder of the Spirit and 
the Electric, was earnest and bold in the sport, and afforded 
much interest throughout the day. The Squib is a new 
model, constructed by Mr. Morrison, jun. is 19 feet 7 inches by 
5 feet 7j inches on the beam. Her lines arc graceful, and 
her appearance on the water is light and elegant. The Wee 
Janie is 19 feet 2 inches in length, by 5 feet 7J inches on 
the beam, and was built by Mr. Hicks, of Birkenhead. She 
of a model suggesting power combined with beauty, the 
Adei.i'iii Tiieatrb.— I t will bo scon in our advertise- 
ments that Mr. Benjamin Webster has fixed his benefit for

uniform.

Boston — United .States. — Yuclitlng Is growing in favour 
with tho Bostonians, although it bus always been popular. 
Tiie first thing tliut a Boston infant does is to fall overboard ; 
tlio second, to learn to swim ; and tho third, to learn to sull a

talk about a Club, which ought to nssumo a more definite 
form. A number of tlio pilots entertained several gentlemen
