MOTOR BOAT RACE.
This race attracted four entries. It was won in fine style by Mr. R. A. Mc- Dougall's Mouse.
At the close of the programme the Hon. Mr. Claud Bevern, Commodore of the
Club
addressing the company, said the Club's opening had been an immense success, judging by the weather and the large attendance. Lady May had kindly consented to present the prizes, and, in calling upon her to perform that duty, he expressed the hope that Misa May's win that day in the Handicap Cloes was only the first of many she would achieve, (Applause.)
Lady May then gracefully handed the prizes to the winners,
His Excellency Sir F. H. May, in acknowledging three cheers given for Lady May, said they had enjoyed an afternoon's excellent sport, but they should not forget that that had been due to the hard work of the Club's officials, to whom their warmest thanks were due. He therefore proposed three cheers for
the Commodore, secretary and committee, which were heartily given.
The proceedings terminated with the playing of the National Anthem.
The arrangements were carried through by the Commodore, the Hon. Mr. Claud
Bevern, Mr. T, A. Longhlin (hon secre tary and treasurer) and members of the General, Yachting and Rowing Com mmittees.

No score re sulted, however, and the soldiers got away and forced two corners in succession. Half-time arrited with no score.
In the second half the game was still fast and furious, and Ladds had bard lines with a shot that was well saved by the R.A. keeper. Shortly afterwards Garrod again saved by a splendid effort. The ganners took the ball to the other end, and Edgeler, taking a beautiful pass

a good effort by Smith, found the net with a shot that gave Hopper no chance. In attempting to save this shot the Navy goalkeeper cut his wrist rather badly on the upright. Gibb relieved him in goal, and Hopper, after having his arm roughly bound up, pluckily continued playing at back. Gibbs was soon called upon, and saved a hard shot from Youngman, which was followed by several more attempts, all of which he saved in good style. The feature of the game was the sterling defence of both sides, the RA, halves and the Navy back especially doing good work. The game was quite free from fouls.
The soldiers started, facing the sun. The Club got going first, Stalker beating Smith, but getting stopped by Coach Walker had a fine chance to open the acoring but failed to take advantage of it.
