RHYL. YACHT RACIXG AT RHYL.—The weekly race for 12ft. C, B. yachts was held on the Marine Lake, Rhy!, on Saturday afternoon. Six yachts were launched, but owing to the clam weather the contest was little more than a drifting match. Master Palethorpe's Scoter (sailed by Masters J. Palethorpe and J. Evans) was the first to cross the line, followed by Mr J. Pierce Lewis's Gloria (owner and Mr H. Lewis). Mr Tom Davies's Eric II. (Messrs, W. Hudson and W. Milburn), Mr E. Davies's Eric 1. (Messrs. Fielding and W. Bell), Messrs. Palethorpe's Trixe (Commodore Palethorpe and Mr J. Jones) and Mr Wroe Cocroft's Squirrel (owner). The interesting part of the race was the fact that the boats repeatedly changed positions, and to- wards the end of the last mile four of them had an exceedingly close contest, as a light breeze sprang up. The finish was as follows —1, Eric II. 2, Scoter 3, Eric I. 4, Gloria and 5, Trixie.
