LIVERPOOL YACHT CLUB REGATTA. 
Thursday, Aug. 24. 
(Continued from paye 797.) 
Owing to the unsettled state of the weather this morning, 
and the heavy fall of rain yesterday, the attendance at Birken- 
head, and on board the Vestal steamer, which was kindly 
lent by Mr. Baines to tho committee and their friends, to 
accompany tho sailing yachts and rowing boats during the 
races, was by no means numerous, the party on board the 
steamer numbering about sixty. The afternoon turned out 
fine, and there being an excellent band of music on board, 
furnished by Mr. Baines, the ladies and gentlemen, owing to 
the courtesy of Mr. Crooke, who took a pleasure in making 
others happy, joined in a waltz and quadrille party, and spent 
a pleasant hour. Mr. Walker, of the Old Mansion-house 
Hotel, provided an excellent dejeuner. On account of the 
strong breeze, which was blowing from the W.N.W., the 
committee very judiciously altered the course, the sailing 
yachts starting from the commodore's flag-ship, which was 
moored ofl Birkenhead, and rounding No. 1 floating powder- 
magazine, moored ofl Eastham, running the course three 
times, and finishing the race at the flag-ship. Shortly after 
the races the members of the Liverpool Yacht Club and their 
inends dined together at Mr. Jones’s, Royal Birkenhead 
otel; immediately after which, the various prizes were 
pieseuted to the successful competitors. Several excellent 
speeches were delivered, and a pleasant evening was spent, 
ihe amusements terminated with a grand display of fire- 
works. 1 ho following is a return : — 
A Clip , value £30, for all fixed-keel yachts of the Liverpool Yacht Club, 
lime race, three-quarters minute IVom three to eight tons, and half 
minute from eight to fifteen tona 
Priestess, 11 tons, A. Dunn 1 
Electric, 8 tons, T. Wilkinson ' ' " n 
Spirit, 4 tons, T. Wilkinson ' q 
Priestess took the lead, Electric second, and Spirit third. 
Priestess kept well out in the river, and caught both wind 
and tide whilst Electric and Spirit ran close in shore for a 
considerable distance. Spirit shortly after hauled down her 
flag and gave up the contest, men off Brouibro’, Electric 
snook out a reef, and increased a little upon her opponent, 
ut owing to the stiffness of the breeze was unable to main- 
tain her position in the race, aud in running the course second 
time gave up the contest, leaving Priestess to run the course 
lor the third time undisputed. The race commenced at 
I-h. 14m. 30s., and terminated at 3h. 19m. ’24s. 
A Cup, value £20, for centre-board yachts of all the clubs, from three 
to eight tons. Tunc race, three-quarters of a minute time allowed. 
Did not come off, owing to the weather: but it is arraneed 
to contest it at a future period.

ROYAL NORTHERN YACHT CLUB REGATTA. 
Largs, Saturday. — Tho races, which could not bo pro- 
ceeded with on Thursday, on account of tho severity of tho 
weather, commenced yesterday (Friday). Tho weather then 
had very much moderated ; indeed, tho day was remarkably 
hue, an excellent breeze continuing from the west. There 
was a very largo attendance of yachts; but tho number of 
spectators on shore was not so large as might have beou 
anticipated. Lord Eglinton acted as commodore, aud 
George Middleton, Esq., as secretary. Tho yacht Orion had 
on board a largo company of ladies *and gentlemen, and the 
tine band of the Queen’s Owu, from Glasgow, discoursed 
appropriate music. Lord Montgomery was on board the 
beautiful and successful yacht Cymbn. Tho regatta began 
shortly at ter eleven o’clock , aud the matches disposed of 
were those that were to have taken place on tho previous day, 
leaving those set down in the programme for Friday to be 
resumed to-day (Saturday). The following is tho result :

croupier, supported by Mr. Middleton, secretary, aud Mr. 
hyfe. 
KINSALE HARBOUR REGATTA. 
Tho regatta, which is auuually held in tho harbour of 
Kinsale, commenced Aug. 24. The weather was such as the 
most enthusiastic yach’sman could possibly desire, the wind 
blowing nearly half a gale, with a sea running that was well 
calculated to test the qualities of the best boats. The Princo 
Arthur left the quay shortly after nine o’clock, but owing 
to the violence of the wiud, not more than twenty or thirty 
persona, of whom a very small proportion were ladies, were 
found sufficiently adventurous to run the risk of an unplea- 
sant acquaintance with salt water, and the other disagreeable 
incidents that attend a marine excursion in unfavourable 
weather. About one o'clock the appearance of tho pretty 
little harbour was particularly gay and animated. Tho Wizard 
gun-bri/, with a numberof flags flying, lay down towards the 
entrance of tho harbour. H.M.S. Advice, bearing Admiral 
Carrol's ting, lay a little further out, whilst several handsome 
yachts of large tonnage, gaily dressed with flags, wore moored 
in various parts of the harbour ; and a largo number of 
smaller dimensions, together with innumerable bunts of 
every size and make, were sailing and rowing about the 
harbour. 
1 he first race was for first-class hookers of 22 tons, and 
upwards, for which tho prizes were for the first boat £ 7 , for 
the socond £3. The course for this race was round tho 
Tho usual sports that generally wind-up a regatta 
ensued, nud afforded much mimscmont, to all who witiu 
cm. A brilliaut display of fireworks concluded tho 01 
queueo of having neglected to go round a post marked on the 
course, the second boat was declared the winner. 
The next race was for small yachts under four tons for 
which two boats started : 
War Hawk. 3 tons, Daltrn. 
Jenny Llml, 4 tons, Slinw. 
After an excellent race the War Hawk was declared tho 
winner.

Forsevcrance took the lend, and kept it throughout * 
Sovereign Islands, and from thence to a flag-post about two 
miles S.E. of the Old Head, from which they came back again 
round the Islands and then into the Harbour, muking a dis- 
tance of twenty-five miles. The following boats were entered 
for this race, aud started at eleven o'clock : — 
Falcon Smith Jack. 
Nancy Dawson Dawson Red. 
Fanny Cadogan Rluo Peter. 
William London Pilot. 
The boats got well under weigh; but, before they got out 
of the harbour, the Falcon carried away her bowsprit, and 
had to bear up. The others earned on without any accident, 
and the Nancy Dawson came into the winning point at twenty’ 
five minutes past five ; the others, to use a popular sporting 
phrase, being “ nowhere.” 
The second race was for yachts exceeding 5 an 1 not exceed- 
ing 13 tons (time race), half minute per ton. Thure were only 
two boats entered for this race. 
Imp, 10 II. II. O'Brien, Quccnstcwu. 
Spray 14 Thomas Ilaycs, Cork. 
Those pretty little boats started well together, and as long 
as they remained inside the harbour, a veiy interesting nice 
ensued; but the Imp came in first at nearly six o’clock, the Spray 
not being heard of at the time. It subsequently appeared 
that the owner of the Spray made an objection to tlio mco, 
which objection was entered by the secretary, and therefore 
the result remains to be settled by the committee. 
The third race was for four-oared gigs, for which the prize 
was £3. There were five boats entered for this race, namely, 
Virion, Mr. Daunt; Mary, Mr. Betsou ; Royal George, Mr. 
VNilliams; a boat belonging to Belgooly ; und I’olka, of In- 
noekannou. From the superior style and construction of tho 
two last boats, they were objected to as unfit competitors 
with the former, and the race was accordingly confined to 
three boats. After a smart race, Mary came in the winner by 
a length a-kead of Royal George. 
Tho next race advertised was between four-oared yawls, 
but as no boats of that description were entered, a race wiu 
started between the Belgooly and Innoshannon boats, rowed 
by watermen. This was certainly the best and most interest- 
ing race of the day, and was terminated by the Belgooly boat 
coming to the winning-post a considerable distance in 
advance of its neighbour of Innoshannon; but, in coosc-
