FOR BRITANNIA.

It was stated in London that the King's racing yacht, Britannia, will not be put in commission for the forthcoming season.

It was hoped that Britannia would take part in the Western Regattas and the Solent fortnight, including Cowes week in August.

It is believed that the state of the King's health will prevent this.
