A certain amount of excitement was caused on the 9.30 am. ferry yesterday when the passengers saw one of the Chinese Dragon boats, practising for the races which will be held on Sunday at North Point and Aberdeen. ...
The boat which was seen yester day morning, was a very long one, and at the stern of the boat there was a coxswain, beating time with a drum, while his ten oarsmeri were rowing according to his beats.
At the head of the boat there was a large head of a dragon, which was done in gold, and look- ed very picturesque.
