'The day was exceedingly fine, and, from the breeze, good sport was anticipated, if one might judge from the "goodlie companie" assembled on board the Comet steamer, hired by the Commodore and Members of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, with their friends, to view the race; and also from the crowds assembled along the piers at Greenwich, Blackwall, &c'.
