I may mention in Ubis number Mr, Broadwood's schooner Witchcraft, 241 tons, who has made herself a name in some well con- tested matches, Tho Witchcraft was designed as an improvement on the famous America, albeit in that Feapect she has entirely failed to realize the expecta- tions excited by #0 ambitious # project.

The Alice, an American yacht, the ty of Mr. Apple- tan, ws algo here for ihe winter. She arrived Inst May, and then excited much interest among the yachting fra: tornity, being greatly admired, both on account of her just and harmonious tions and her qualities as a first rate sea boat. Hitherto she has made no mark in, ach ting ch roniclea, which some ascribe to the difference her build, compared with the generality of British yachts, These consider the Alice too short to be able to compete sugcessfully on this side of tho water, But those vaticinations have still to receive their fulfitme nt.

There is much more accommodation at Ryde than at.Cowes for all classes of visitors, and Ryde, there- fore, is a place of far greater resort than Cowes, which is nothing if there is not some aquatic event to relieve the monotony of ite daily life. The Royal Victoria Yacht Club Regatta came off on the 14th, 15th and 16th of August, being the last match on the Solent. There were several very handsome prizes to be contended for; first, the town cup; then the 100 guinea oup given by the Commodore, salted for on the 16th, from Ryde to Cherbourg; and the 130 guinea cup give by Mr. John preg pi the Evadne schooner, sailed for on the ‘24th, from Ryde to fC menage The Commodore's — Masotn, ropees ag ph cnta, Orestes and Pyled ‘useum, representing Iphigenia, and CH on the obverse side ira sitting at the tomb of her father, emnon, overwhelmed with grief; before Electra is Orestes holding a laurel.
