HONGKONG CORINTHIAN YACHT CLUB.
MOTOR BOAT RACE.
of
Although the yachting season is closed, and the dog days, so far as sport is concerned, have arrived, the name of the Corinthian Yacht Club is not to be allowed to sink into oblivion. The spirit of sport which pervades most the members has caused them to promote motor boat and model yacht races, and these will be run at intervals during the off season.
One of these motor boat races
took place yesterday for two prizes pre- sented by Mr. C. A. G. Roberts, and a third which came out of the entrance fees. The course was round the island, and six motor boats started on their handicap times. The boats entered, and the times of starting, were as under :-
Lark, sailed by J. W. Kew... Maudie, sailed by A. Ramsay Vital Spark, sailed by A.
