This Regatta Club instituted in 1849, held annual race meetings in the harbour until 1855, and many of us can remember how the Re-
gatta, and its attendant Ball on the last day of the meeting, were looked forward to for months with an interest, and excitement, second only to those which are the pre- cursors of the "great event" of February. wz. the Hong Kong Races...
