GALE AT COWES
REGATTA POSTPONED
• FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
(British Olhclal Wireless.) RUGBY, July 31. High winds and heavy seas round the English coast caused some interference .with shipping services today. A pinnace from the Eoyal yacht Victoria and Albert, which is the headquarters of their Majesties during their stay at Cowes, went to the assistance of a paddle steamer which, carried by a gale and strong tides, fouled some yachts in the roads. When nearing the King's yacht Britannia, the steamer dropped anchor and was later towed clear. Owing to the gale the regatta of tho Eoyal Yacht Club was postponed for the first time in its history.
