first boat to finish crossed the line at a little after 6 p.m., the majority coming in after 6 pm. It was a long day's sail in which all sorts of weather and luck visited the various competitors. Eventually Brenda won on corrected time, with a Cigüle second and Coquette third.
The cutter from HM.S. Titania, sailed by Commander F. Ratsay, whe actually first on corrected time, but of course, she does not come into the championship. However, le sailed a very good race and deserves. commendation for the fine show she

R.A. v. Navy.
A very interesting sailing event took place on Saturday between teams representing the Navy and the R.A. Mess. Six boats took part, it being entirely a private event, Lieut. Colonel Coates
La Cigale headed north
and went up to Peng Chau. Coquette went north but outside the islands, while the others hung about just outside the Dumbell island waiting for the wind to revive. Brenda was farthest south and went fur- ther to look for the wind. She proved to be lucky and made up an ecormous amount of time when she caught south wind. La Cigale was unable to sail and his was by that time between Kau-i-place in the R.A. team was taken chau and. Stonecutters, with by Sub-Lt. Vereker.
