Another International Match in Prospect. By a series of cable telegrams from Europe we have the following report of the international yacht race contest between the American yacht Sappho and the fagtisn yacht Cambria. ‘Tho First Nows. Cowes, Isle of Wight, May 11, 1870, Mr, Ashbury's yacht Cambria (English) arrived here with the Dauntless at four o'clock this morn- ing.

LONDON, May 11, 1870, ‘The first of the series of three races, between the American yacht Sappho and the English yacht Cam- bria, sixty miles to windward and return, which commenced yesterday morning, terminated this Morning in the decided victory of the Sappho, who beat the Cambria from the start at the latter's best point of sailing, namely, turning to windward. The yachts were towed very early on the morning of the 10th to @ point sixty miles southeast of Cowes Roads, As a strong easterly wind was blowing, and tho Tace was to the windward, the course was up the Channel, The American yacht Dauntless and the English Yacht Pleiad, and a number of other English craft and steamers accompanied the contesting yachts. The scene at the start was very flne and exciting, It was arranged by the umpires that a flying start should be given on the port tack, by which the yachts would gain a greater offing towards mid- channel in case of a change of wind. The Cambria, having won the toss, took the weather position, and thus had all the advantage at the start. The Sappho carried thirty-two hands and a cloud of canvas, including, with her regular fore and aft sails, @ maintopmast staysail and flying jib; while the Cambria only set one jib in addition to her fore- Sailand other racing salls, and carried twenty-six hanas. The signal to go Was given at twenty-euzht min- utes past eight A. M. ‘The Sappho took the lead from the start, and by the time she was off Beachy Head, and abow fifty miles from the starting potnt, she was fully ten mites to windward of the Cambria. ‘The latter, seeing it was impossible to win, gave up the race, and without rounding the umpire’s steamer returned to Cowes, where she arrived at four o'clock this morning, accompanied by the Dauntless, The Sappho, which at times was out of sight of the Camprla, returned to Cowes about two hours later. Mr. Ashbury frankly admits his defeat. ond race will be salled on Friday, Another Loternational Match in Prospect. LONDON, May 11, 1870, The members of the Royal Yacht Club meet on Saturday next to arrange a race for the Prince of Wales Cup, to be contested for by American and British yachts over ninety-nine tons burden, Description of the Competing Yachts. The race which took place on Tuesday at Cowes is but one of a sertes of three matches agreed upon by Messrs, Douglas and Ashbury. From our cabie de- spatches the reader will learn the result of the con- tost. Two races yet remain to be salled—one “sixty miles dead to windward and back,” and the other a triangular course of sixty miles, twenty miles on each hounding side of the equilateral triangte. The following is a description of the two scliooners in detail :— The s@c- THRE CAMBRIA. The Cambria, schooner, 248 tons New York Yacht Cinv measurement and 183 tons Royal Thames Yacht Club measurement, and probably the fleetest of the British yachts, was built by Ratsey, of Cowes, on the Isle of Wight, and was launched in May, 1868, She is a fine type of the deep and narrow English model, and in external appearance bears a resemblance to the stiffness and stability of a Cunard steamer. It can hardiy be said that the Cambria ts as graceful and charming in her pose upon the water as the inajority of American schooners, and this 1s simply because the English are wilting to sacrifice anything to secure the tall embodiment of thetr ideas as to iler dimensions are:— spect. Dopth ot Draught of Mainmast (hounds to deck) Foremast. Main boom. jowsprit Maintopsall Foretopaail. Maintopsail yar Foretopsall yard. “ She 1s a keel schooner, substantially built of oak, with teak topsides, Her interior fiitings are re- markably beautiful, rich and in good taste, and the wainscoting ts finished In polished oak. On the prin- ciple upon which she was built the Cambria is a moat perfect triumph, and vo one need doubt that she is the finest schooner in Great Britain. All of the deli- cate niceties employed by English yachtmen in bal- lasting, sparring and canvasing, have been tested by Mr, Ashbury, who, with a spirit which does credit to the most fascinating of all pastimes, haa done much to develop yachting among his own countrymen to its present high status, ‘The Cambria has twenty-one tons of ballast smelted aud run into her timbers, aud she has also four tons of jead bolted to her keel. Under sail she spreads a vast area of canvas, and works in the wind with the ease and facility of a weather vaue. It is by her qualities of being sharp and quick tu stays, of being close to the wind, of making good time ja light airs that yachtmen claim she ts one of the fastest schoon ers in the world, By the wind—that 1s, close-hauled— she has gafftopsails bent to the ordinary spars; but in salling free she has much longer and lighter and more flexible yards aloit, and the sati of lighter canvas, of course, clubs out @ considerable distance, Her bowsprit is @ very peculiar spar, and with the jibooom and fying jibboom is all inoue stick and rigs Inand OUtat the option of the sailing master, Of course it is ugly in appearance, but the nautical advantages Claimed for ttare many and doubtiess well founded. The Cambita has had a brilitant and eventful his- tory, She has been the victorin many contests, and her bold and gailant owner and commander has satied her in most all the seas that wash Buropean shores, and has but recently returned from his cruise up the Mediterranean. She first won fame npon June 2, 1868, when she came in first, with the Egernia and Fleur de Lis a3 competitors; but tn this contest she fatied to win the prize because she bad to give me allowance. She also tigured with evidences of the dnest qualities on the 17th of June, 1868; ou the Both of June, 1868; on the Gti of Angust, 1868, and on the 11th of August, 1868, On the 25th of August, she beat the Sappho, her competitor yesterday, tn the same race, three fast Mnglish yachts—tie Aline, Olmara and Condor. After these victories alterations were made to the Cambria to | make her more sea- worthy. She was padded forward, her masts were bored and the weight of her keel was duntnished. Besides, on the occasions named, the Cambria has won golden laurels, especially upon beating to windward, in a trial of this quality with an English cutter (corresponding (o our Amertcan sloop), In which she was figain the victor, This is her forte, During the ptesent season the Cambria has been given moré baliast, her bulwarks have Deon raised forward and her souppers have been much eniarged, She is now, acvording to the de- spatchea, in her best trim, and sho will American and ae r F, English eye bearing upon her during THB sarruo, All will remember the keel schooner Sapp, 274 tons New York Yacht Club measureneut, owned by that thorough yachtman Mr. William Dougtas.: Sho wag buts by the Potltous, of Brook- lyn, for their own use, but was subsequently sold to Mr. Dougtas, Sue is one of the Mnesi, ablest and Ter dl- fastest of all Amertoan or Engiish yaciits. mensions are: — Main gait.

The audience generally seemed to be almost entirely republican, with a few sceptt- cally inclined ones, Who looked upon Mr. Revels | unpleagantly. There were various opinions ex- pressed about the Seuator, Al one of the most clo. quent passages the following refnet colloquy went ou in an undertone: — “Pshaw! bet that Lick fellow never wrove that speech.” “oh, set down, Who coult have wrote it, you lunatiey? May, Sumner, of course, or some other Mithy radical," “Oh take your seat, Revel’s vote is worth $5.000 any time, Id like to be In the aygger's plage.
