M'Laughlin's Eurynome (6.8). Lassie d.id not start, but Rhoda got off with the gun, followed a couple of lengths off by the Eurynome. Nesta hung off, and made a bad start. The gun went off at 1.15, and the yachts finished up in the following order— H. M. S. Eurynome 7 27 25 Nesta 7 21 20 Rhoda 7 33 34 Race for yachts not exceeding 15 racing. Entries J. H.

Under time allowance Capella will take the second prize. The start was made at 1 30. Race for yachts from 1 to 5 rating. Entries: the Hon W. W. Vivian's Flatfish and Sydney Mason's Eileen. Public expectations as te Mr Vivian's boat were fully realised, for dashing off with the gun at ] 45 she took the lead at once, at led throughout the 14 mile course, finishing at 5h. 30m. 40s., the Eileen giving up. The prettiest race of the day was that for 1 raters which followed, starting at 2 o'clock over a 14 mile course. The competitors were Messrs Warren and Livingstone's Ethilda, H. R. Davies's Glimmer, W. Douglas Jones's Cariad, Geo. Gambles's Eileen, Ron. Claude Vivian's Soper, Messrs Darbishire and Holroyd's Gaiety Girl, and F. S. Schwabe's Rhosyn.

Results :— Race for yachts not exceeding one racing. Start two o'clock course, 12 miles. The only entries were the Hon Claud Vivian's Soper and the Hon W. W. Vivian's Mandetta. The latter went off with a flying start, and kept the lead through- out, though the Soper was by no means beaten till she repeated her Carnarvon mishap and got aground, where she remained 25 minutes, the race ending thus:— H. M. S. Mandetta 5 20 0 Soper I) 36 40 In a special race for yachts not exceeding one rating, confined to yachts belonging to the Menai Straits and Mersey, the following entered and started:—Mrs Burton's Morwyn, Mr W.

The tirst and second takes the prizes. The race for yachts not exceeding three quarter rating was a treat, the breeze just suiting the little beauties. The course was twelve miles, and the starting gun was fired at. 2 20. Owing to a failure of wind the finish was delayed, but Imp finished first at 5h., 48m., 50s. Another pretty race was that for twelve foot centre board punts, for which Mr A. Blass's Argo, Mr D. Coddington's Little Millie, and Mr Scot Hayward's Slut, entered and sailed over a six mile course. Starting in an absolute line at 2 30, they finished as follows:- "'P"P Little Millie 3 45 42 Argo 3 56 40 Slut 3 57 15 A number of sailing and rowing boats events were also carried out, and a grand day's sport was concluded about seven o'clock. e PORT DINORWIC). The annual regetta was held here on Saturday. The weather was glorious, and consequently there was a large attendance, not only of people on shore, but of non-racing yachts (steam and sailing). Mr G. W. D. Assheton Smith was the commodore, the vice-commodore being Major R. ap Hugh Wil- liams, and the rear-commodore, Mr H. A. Duff. Mr W. Lloyd Roberts was an efficient secretary, I Mr George E. Griffiths, treasurer and timekeeper, in which he was assisted by Captain Jones, of the flagship Vaynol. The following are the results I Handicap race for yachts exceeding 5 and not exceeding 20 (Y.R.A.) rating.—First prize £ 15; second prize, silver cup, value zC5, presented by Mr John Dean. Entries-Mr Geo. R. Cox's Nesta (20). Mr J. H. Peter's Mona (5.5), Hon W. W. Vivian's Lassie (16.47), Mr F. W. Schwabe's Rhoda (12), Mr E. D. M'Laughlin's Eurynome (6.5), and Mr F. Fisher Jones's Glyn (3.5). Course 18 miles, start 12-45. The Mona, Lassie, and Glyn were absentees, but the other three started, the Nesta leading, the Rhoda being (second, and the Eury- nome last. At the end of the first reund the same order was maintained, but the distances between each yacht had greatly increased. Later on the Rhoda took the leading position, the Nesta being half a dozen lengths behind, and the Eurynome keeping hopelessly in the rear. As they began their last round the wind fell, with the result that the Rhoda increased her lead, and the Jfiurynome decreased the gap between herself and the Nesta. As they ran up for the last round a couple of guns from the flagship announced that owing to the failure of the wind the race would be shortened, and accordingly, the big yachts finished in the I following order:— H. M. s. Rhoda 5 16 45 | Nesta 5 21 0 I Ikuynome 5 23 0 i -ne.unoua taKes toe nrst prize anu vinu ^urjruumc (on time allowance) the second. Race for yachts not exceeding 4.5 and not ex- ceeding five rating. First prize Y,8, second S4. Entries-Hon. W.- W. Vivian's Flatfish and Mr Sydney Mason's Eileen. Course 16 miles. Start one o'clock. As at Carnarvon on Thursday, the Flatfish flew over the line as the gun was fired, the Eileen hanging behind at least half a minute, and the lead thus gained was maintained and ever in- creased, the finishing time for the full course being- H. M. S. Flatfish (4-97) 4 36 0 I Eileen (4-93) 4 43 45 I Race for yachts not exceeding one rating. First prize £5, second S2 10s, presented by Mrs Asshe- ton-Smith. Entries — Messrs Darbyshire and Holroy's Gaiety Girl (1), Mr W. Douglas Jones's Cariad (1), Messrs Warren and Livingstone's Ethilda (1), Hon. W. W. Vivian's Mandita (1), Mrs Burton's Morwyn (0 99), Mr George Gamble's Eileen (1), Mr F. S. Schwabe's Rhosyn (1), Hon. I Claude Vivian's Soper (1). and Mr H. R. Davies' Glimmer (0'99). Course twelve miles. Start 1 15. All the entries in this race started, Cariad being a little over the line and taking no notice of the recall flag. A prettier sight than the starting and sailing of these little beauties C, could not be conceived, and the wind was just right for them. The Hon Claude Vivian's Soper was the favourite, both on account of local considerations and on account of her reputation and make, but on passing the flagship it was seen that the Ethilda, superbly handled by Mr Jellicoe, had a good lead, and she rounded the mark boat first. Coming back Captain Elias on board the Soper put in everything he knew, and for a couple of miles or so a most exciting and neck and neck race ensued between the two. At last the Soper appeared to gain a lead, and it was then thought she would have no difficulty in maintaining it. Everybody was consequently surprised to fiud the Ethilda again ahead with an increased lead when they next passed the flagship, the Glimmer being second and the Soper (close up) third. These positions were maintained apparently throughout the rest of the race. At any rate that was the order in which they finished, the times being- H. M. S. Ethilda 4 25 30 Glimmer 4 29 30 Soper 4 30 0 The Mandita retired. Race for three-quarter raters. First prize £ 2 10s, second 30s. Entries—Messrs Scott-Hay- ward's and Dr Wheeler's Queer Girl, Messrs Thompson and Calleen's Gaiety Girl, Messrs Hut- ton, Hall, and F. Jackson's Imp, and Mr C. H. Lancaster's Elsie. Course ten miles. Start L30. Gaiety Girl did not start, the race resulting as under U. M. S. Imp 4 49 0 Qceer Girl 4 54 0 Elsie. 0 0 0 There was a protest against Imp. Most of the other events on the card were suc- cessfully negotiated, Mr Dudley Darlington adding another to his long list of entries with Little Millie 12-feet centre-board punt), Mr A. Blass coming in second with the Argo, the Gent (Mr W. Soott-Hayward) giving up. In the class f or open sailing boats not exceeding 18ft. keel and not 20ft. over all, the first prize went to the Snowflake, a boat belonging to Mr Evan Williams, contractor, Bangor. There was no entry for the class exceeding 16ft. keel and not over 18ft., and only one in the class for 21ft. keel. In the rowinsr matches, the cup fr four-oared gigs with coxswain, was carried off by the Lighting, W. Roberts, Carnarvon; Mayflower, T. Evans, Bangor, being second; and Otter, F. Litherland, Carnarvon, finishing third. A protest was lodged against Lightning for going the wrong side of the buoy.
