The following are entries for the Macao Fair Race Meeting to be held at Areia Preta Race Course, Macao, on November 4.
1. The November Novices Race:
Over the usual course, the first Championship race of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club was held on Saturday afternoon. Altogether eighteen yachts competed-eight in the Heyward Heys Class and five-Mr. K. Y. Ip's Diana, Major B. C. cach in the One Design and Gael Lake's As You Like It, Mr. Ho Sai
man's Black Pearl, Mr. J. C. S. At the Victoria Recreation Club Class, and the Handicap Class.
It was not a successful afternoon's Walchow, Mrs. R. J. Paterson's on Saturday night, prizes were dia- (tributed to the successful competi-yachting, as weather conditions were Boukra, Messrs.

Interesting history of the har- this soon fell to light and fluky, bour race was given by Mr. C. J. and the race developed into a Cooke, Hon. Secretary of the Club, drifting match. before the prize distribution by Mr. W. Logan..
Mr. Cooke said that it was in 1906, after the big typhoon which took many lives, that it was thought to be a good idea to hold
All the yachts in the Heyward Heys and One Dealgn, and Gael Classes failed to finish before the time limit and therefore there was no race for these classes. In the Handicap Class, only two out of five

pim., when our representative left the Club. Two others, the Colleen and Dorothea, returned to the Club without completing the course.
Diana's Efforts
Diana, the remaining yacht, was still out at 7.15 p.m., making desper ate efforts to get round Cust Rock after having been becalmed for a considerable time and forced to an- chor in Kowloon Bay.
It was explained that Diana's perseverance was due to the fact that two yachts having completed the course within the time limit, the race for this class 'was "on," and
as the other two yachts had dropped out of the race, Diana could finish within the following 24 hours, or even later, and still secure third place and score points towards the Championship Cup.
Eventually Diana succeeded in completing the course almost five hours after the Rola, the first yacht

Prize Winners
The prize winners were:-
Half Mile Championship of the Colony. J. R. Johnstone, and C. J. Coolte (dead heat). Time: 13 mins. 2secs.
Mr. Cooke then referred to the might atone for this to some ex- fact that nowadays the
Chinese tent. hold their own harbour race and the Military theirs, and said that he thought it was a mistake, as it distracted from the event much of its historical significance. gave it as his opinion that it would be better to hold a single harbour race each year. Men and women of all nationality could compete, and, if necessary, the ladies could 24 have separate prizes.

The Chinese and Military could continue to hold their own events, but if they would call them the mile race and not the harbour race, 29 that time honoured event would re- tain its glory. As it was, Mr. Cooke thought that the other Clubs were more or less encroaching on the V.R.C.'s preserves.
