‘YACHTING IN ENGLAND. ( Annual Hegatta of the Royal Yacht Squadron at Cowes. PROGRAMME OF THE EVENTS. Phe Consolation Prize, the Town Regatta and the Prince of Wales Challenge Cup. How the American Yacht En- chantress Was Disabled. CowEs, August 6, 1874. nce more the pretty little town of Cowes as- sues its picturesque and holiday appearance, for ww place of a leaden sky and drizzling rain, defying waterproofs and umbrellas, we have fair weatber and a sunshine as brilliant as the sunniest heart could desire. The change is not only welcome bat most auspicious, for as thisis the birthday of the Duke of Edinburgh, when he completes his thir- Neth year, at an early hour this morning the royal yachts, Victoria and Albert and Alberta, with the tron-clad ship Zealons, and nearly all the yachts in the Roads, were dressed 1n colors, and a most su- perb picture was the result. The Asmerican yacht Enchantress was profuse in her bunting, and it was evident that Brother Jonathan was de- termined pot to be behind in the display of his loyalty to the Sailor Prince of England in particular, and to the royal family in general. At twelve o’clock the Zealous fired a royal salate ; but, as it is customary with the Royal Yacht Squadron only vo salute Rer Majesty, the guns on the battery were silent. It is stated that an afternoon party will be givenon board the Zeaious w the members of the squadron, and en tertainments will take place on board several yachts lying in the Roads. ‘This day was also appointed for the Cowes town | regatta, and the usual attendance of the members ef the royal family was anticipated. There was an alteration in this part of the programme in consequence of the casualttes sustained by seme of the vessels in the preceding races. To supply the place of thie race, which, however, is one in which little interest is felt, a special one was arranged and one of a rather move) charactor, it takes the form of a@ CONSOLATION PRIZE, and isa cup of the value of £100, the gift ofa member of ‘he club, for al) yachts belonging to the Royal Yacht Squadron which have never Won a prize in the United Kingdom during the last twenty years. Now this appears to bear with it something like a reproach that any vessel velonging to the squadron should have been a racing vessel and yet for so long @ period as tweaty veare have had such iil luck as to bave been unsiccesstul in getting a modicum ef bonor during her career; but these liberal con- ditions admitted those vessels built within that period which had deen unsuccessful, and they ex- ended even to one vessel, the Chanticleer, which only left the yard of Mr. 1.

COWES, August 7, 1874. The splendid weather which gave such a zest to the proceedings of yesterday, the warm and bril- liant sun lighting up the landscape of the island, morning rain began to fall copiously, and a dall- lookmg sky gave a very marked indication that dirty weather would prevail. At an early hour a Jresh breeze was biowing from the west-soutn- west, aad the old salts predi¢ted that in the coming race for the Prince of Wales Challenge Cup, with have something more than a mere capful, and they would find as much of it and perhaps more than they wanted. This, as the sequel proved, turned out to be true, when the redoubt- able American schooner Enchantress came to grief altogether and was compelled to re- turn to Cowes in a very crippled con- dition, ‘The Shark, which had 1 been entered to make up the required num. ber of “three w start or no race,” -having proceeded for some distance, alxo returned to her | moorings, The three yachts were early at their | stations, a8 the start Was appointed to take place | at six o’clock.

You could get a bet at odds that the races would be postponed; but after ten o'clock, about which time it sprinklea for a few moments, the indications of fair weather were more favorable and the usual crowd began setting out forthe course.

Scamp the Winner of the Brighton Stakes— A-New St. Leger Candidate. Great Dissatisfaction in the Race for the Brighton Oup—The De War- renné Handicap. Lonpon, August 8, 1874, The last balf of what sporting men here talk about as the “Sussex fortaight” is being brought: to a close to-day. The week embraces two meet- ings, one held on the downs at Brighton, the: other on the uplands overlooking the quaint old town of Lewes, which ts also on the coast of Sussex. The 1ormer extends over three days, the latter over two, and it is now concluding. The fortnight has, on the whole, been hardly so enjoys able as usual, for the weather has been of an un- satistactory description, rain falling on most of the days, accompanied by @ high wind. Brighton nag, however, been extremely gay and almost incon- ventently full, as it generally is during the racing! fortnight, when nearly the whole turf community—< which rarely enjoys a holiday—goes down to the. seaside to combine business with amusement. The races, though they were not of a very high character, were a great success, large flelds going: to the post for the principal handicaps, and some of the finishes being exceedingly close and excite ing. The most important of the handicaps was THE BRIGHTON SLAKES, which, though it brougit to the post only a smalb body of horses, was iuteresting srom the fact that it imtrouuced us to a new candidate for the St. Leger. ‘This was Scamp, who has recently distin guished himseif considerably, He ran in the Ascot Stakes, for which te was beaten by the two stable companions Coventry and Feve, he obtaining the third place. On that occasion Feve was conceding him sixteen pounds for the year’s difference im. their ages, anu beat him a bead for the honors of the second position, Féve himself finishing a Jength in rear of Coventry. Feéve and Scamp met again in the Guodwood Stakes, when the former was conceding seventeen pounds, and he was beaten a long way, the race falling to Scamp.: ‘This seemed to show that Scamp was a very im- proving animal, while Fave was not, or, on the other hand, that Féve had greatly deteriorated, while Scamp had stood still. They met once more in the race for the Brighton Stakes, when the former theory appeared to be thoroughly estab lished. On this occasion Feve was called on to concede only tour pounds for the difference im. their ages, but the result was as decisively m favor of Scamp as ever, as will be seen from the follow~ ing summary :— THE BRIGHTON STAKES (handicap), Of 15 sovs. each, 40 forieit, ana oniy 4 if declared, with 200 added 5 winners extra; the second received 50 sovs, out of the stakes; tle New Course (one mue and three- { quarters, to start at the winming-chair) ; 21 subs, 16 of whom declared. sir J.
