ROYAL HARWICH YACHT CLUB REGATTA. 
On Saturday the 15th instant, the annual Regatta of 
the Royal Harwich Yacht Club wns held in and off the 
harbour of Harwich. The Commodore of the Club, Sir 
Charles Ibbetson, Bart., is unfortunately at the present 
moment without a yuclit, having some timo since parted with 
the Auuconda, 100 tons; but the Novice, 82 tons, Vice- 
Commodore Arccdeckne, R.II.Y.C., and the Aquiline, Rear- 
Commodore Cnrdinall, R.H.Y.C., were both In port during 
the contest, and indeed for sevorul days prior to the Regatta 
coming off; and the Novice became on Saturday, through 
the courteous attention of the Vice-Commodore, “ head- 
quarters” during the match, wliero the Committee assem- 
bled, and where, os on former occasions, they were received 
with the most unbounded liberulity. The tradesmen ashore 
scarcely liked Saturday os a Regatta Day ; but the inhabi- 
tants of the neighbourhood poured into Harwich by thousands, 
and crowded steamers ran down from Ipswich, and the me- 
tropolitan train from Shoreditch added to the general muster. 
The celebrated hostelry “The Three Cups,’’ was crammed dur- 
ing the breakfast, lunch, dinner, and supper hours, and Mr. 
Bull, the landlord, again gave that satisfaction which “the 
house’’ has given for a century past, nnd in our opinion will 
yet give. We adviso nny of our readers who may visit Har- 
wich to go to “the Cups,” and wo guarantee their meeting 
with everything to tlioir satisfaction. 
The regatta was altogether most successful ; it must not 
be measured by tho mere races, now following, but by 
. the enthusiastic promises of yachtsmen, mado at the dinners 
as woll as afloat, which now bind them to support the 
“ lion rampant ; ” and seeing that the Harwich men so 
ardently desire to advance the aquatic interests of “ The 
Eustcrn Coast,” we aro glad to know that, at la6f, Lon- 
don, Yarmouth, and Lowestoft will stand by Harwich. 
Amongst the yachts present were, we repeat, the Novice, Vice- 
Commodore Arccdeckne; the Margaret, Mayfly, Osprey, Acorn, 
Acquiline, Gcorgiaua, Violet, Kitten, Phantom, Maude, 
Thought, Vampiro, Avalon, Emetic, Little Duchess, Vixen, 
l’own, Mischief, Sapphire, Sea Nymph, Will o’ the Wisp, 
und Amazon. The vuriouB yacht mutches excited tho greatest 
interest, and in addition thero were several rowing matches, 
with, as in former years, land sports in abundance. 
The various officers of the Club exerted themselves to the 
utmost, and gave tho greatest satisfaction. We may, at once, 
state that this is one of the best regattus that lias taken place 
nt this port, and that the membors of the Club will be present 
in their yachts, at Lowestoft Regatta, on Tuesday next. 
In tho evening, the members dined together at the Cups 
Tavern, the Vice-commodore in tho chair, when after tho 
usuul loyal and constitutional toasts had been duly honoured, 
the chairman gave, to the Royal Harwich Yacht Club, and in 
doing so, said he trusted that it would go on and continue to 
prosper, and he hod no doobt. that it would ere long take 
its stand with tho first yacht clubs of the kingdom. 
Amongst those present on board the Novice, we observed, 
C. Wheeler, Esq., G. Hobson, Esq., G. C.Craigio, Esq., G. 
Half hide; Esq., A. Barlow, Esq., W. S. Poster, Esq., C.

LIVERPOOL YACHT CLUB. 
The second club sailing match of the Liverpool Yacht Cli 
took place on Wednesday, the course being from the fla 
ship at Birkenhead, round tho North Magazine, thence roui 
Askew’s Buoy, which is half-way between the Rock Light a 
the Crosby Ship, at 12 o’clock. The following yachts we 
at their station : — 
1. Truant.. .. sloop 4 tons .. Commodore. 
2. Lirono .. .. cutter 8 „ .. H. c. Tomlinson, Esn. 
Kelpie . . .. sloop 4 ,, • • Vice-Commodore. 
4. Pries ten .. cotter 13 „ .. Rear-Commodore. 
6. Challenge .. sloop 8 „ .. A. Bower. Esq 
6. Electric.. .. cutter 8 „ .. Thoa. Wilkinson, E m. 
7. Spirit .. .. sloop 4 „ .. Thos. Wilkinson, Esq. 
The signal gun boing given they all got well away with the 
exception of the Truant, which was unfortunately capsized 
owing to the contre board being raised instead of lowered in 
its place ; she was quickly righted, but not in sufficient time 
to admit her taking her place in the race. The Challenge 
took tho lead to the magazine, which she rounded first, 
closely followed by the others ; from this point they had to 
beat to the buoy, and the breeze having freshened told well 
on the larger craft. Challenge and Electric fought hard for 
first place, but Priosten being more powerful in the sea-way 
headed them both, and was tho first round for tho run 
home, followed by the Challenge and Electric. Passing the 
Rock-light, the wind having died away, the Challenge again 
took tho first place, which she held to the finish, gaining evey 
minute on her competitor until the Flag-ship was reached, tho 
Yachts rounding as follows: — 
h. m. r. 
Challenge 4 35 30 
Electric .. . 4 39 40 
Prlcsten 4 45 0 
Spirit 5 1 0 
Kelpie 5 1 55 
The Sirocco having carried nway tho jaws of her gaff 
had to give up the race early in the day. After tho match, 
the prize, a silver tankard value £20, manufactured by Mr. 
Ilansburgh, was presented by tho Commodore to Mr. Bower, 
who was congratulated by the members present on the success 
of his pretto little vessel.

IMPROVEMENTS IN SHIPS AND BOATS. 
The experimental schooner yacht, “Incline Plane,” 75 
tons, constructed upon Lipscombe’s new principle, was 
launched on tho 15th inst., from Mr. Cunningham’s yard, 
Southampton. Great expectations have been formed with 
regard to this schooner. She will be fitted out as rapidly as 
possible, and it is expected that in about three weeks she will 
bo publicly tried at Southampton. A jolly-boat 13 feet 
long by 3£ feet wide, lately built upon the same principle, 
bns astonished every one by the excellent qualities exhibited 
by her; as a row boat, she is remarkably stiff and buoyant, 
and when propelled by canvass alone, sails twice as fast as any 
other of her own 6izo, and she easily out-sailed an 8-ton 
yacht, hitherto considered fast, that was tried against her. 
Mr. Lipscombe's models may be seen in London, a few doors 
west of Temple Bar, on tho south side of the Strand. 

Wyvenhoe, Essex. — A Hartlepool Regatta, on Monday,

ILEX CLUB— PA[R OAR MATCH. 
This race came off on Monday the 17th at half-pnst seven, when 
five boats Blurted to row from Putney to Hammersmith, and came 
in thus: — 
Butterfield nnd Turner (Club colours) 1 
Woodcock nnd Tliomns (Yellow) 2 
Dobnce and lies (Red and Green) 3 
Cattls and Revel (Green) 4 
Pearson nnd Adams (Blue) 6 
Green took a decided lead, closely followed by blue nnd yellow 
and at tho Star and Garter bad their length clear, but opposite 
Messrs. Senrle's the club colours overhauled tho leading boats, nnd 
tho race wns never after that in doubt. They held their position, 
and though yellow, who rowed pluckily and well, oft' the Crabn 
tree seemed to shorten tho distance between them, half-a-dozc* 
strokes took tho lenders away, nnd they passed under Hammer- 
smith Bridge three lengths a-licad. Red and green, who hod been, 
fouled accidentally twice, pulled a remarkably good third,- con- 
sidering the disparity of weight. Tho match wns accompanied 
the Club eight carrying the umpire, a Wandle four, nnd many 
others, and for old-fashioned wherries was very fast. It is pro- 
bable a randan will be rowed very shortly by this club, and sach 
a mutch would bo novel nnd exciting.
