The Valkyrie today competed in the race against the Irer and the Farana. The proposed Courke was from Gravesend round the Mouse Light-ship and back. Owing to the absence of wind they unly went to the Nore and hack. The finish was a drifting match. The Valkyrit won easily. The race proved infinitely a better test of the Valkyrie than that of Wednesday, virtually over the same course. The Valkyrie made an excellent start in a light east wind The Yarana was close at hand for some time, but in short tacking on the Kent shore the Valkyrie met the Yarwa on the starboard tack, and the latter took the tideway, giving the Valkyrie the advantage, which she increased to the Nore, sind maintained during the ran home until calmed at the top of Sea-reach. Finally a light south-western breeze took the leader to the finish. The frer abandoned the race at the Nore.

The wind as it sweeps across the dry, dusty plain, scorches as though it issued from a Gery furnace. It is a hard struggle for vegetation to maintain its own. It is a surprise to travellers up and down the Peiho to see the wheat in many places along the river bank over two feet high, and bearing a fine head. But this is in favoured places where the soi! seems to have special qualities for retaining the moisture. For in other fields it scarcely attains the height of 8 or to inches, yet not infrequently bearing a good head for the height of the stem. The harvest, such as it is, is near at hand, and rain cannot now affect the wheat. But everything else is needing it very much the health of the people not the least of all.
