ROYAL HONGKONG YACHT-CLUB:
RACES FOR THE COMMODORE's curs,
DECEMBER 3rd..

for where he thought the belt of calm between the two winds was narrowest; Chanticleer had the best place and went away with quite a long lead, with Maid Marian next, then Phoebe, Erica, Bonito, Sybil; and Chanticleer, Activa giving up about this time. In the reach to Kowloon Rook Erica passed both Phoebe and the Maid, and held second place past Channel Rocks down to Meyer's buoy, Bonito passing both Phoebe and Maid Marian after rounding Channel Rocks, Bonito is a smart boat on a wind, and points better than any of the other boats, owing to her deeper keel, but she does not get through the water quite so fast in ordinary winds. Perhaps in a hard blow she will move along. The boats were never far apart, with the exception of the Chanticleer in the second round, and the line was crossed by Bonito, Phoebe, and Erica all overlapping.

The second races of the series for the cups presented by the Commodore of the Club (Hon. F. H. May) took place on Saturday last in light and very uncertain airs. The course for both classes was round the Channel Rocks and the North Fairway buoy, starboard.
