CANTON,
Owing to the state of the tide, considerable changes have been made at the last minute in the huurs of the programme of the Re- gatta between the Royal Hongkong Yacht and the Canton Rowing Club on Saturday next in Canton.
The first race will commence at 2.60 p.m. and there will be a race thereafter every twenty minutes until 4.10.
The first race on the programme is now the Junior Pairs, for a cup to be won outright, presented by Commander M.L. Clarke, R.N.,. D.S.O., Senior Naval Officer of H.M. West River Patrol.
At 3.10 comes the principal event of the day, the Senior Fours; The Canton crew have been rowing very well the last few days, but have had some trouble with their boat, and it is possible that a last-minute change may be made and a slightly heavier boat chosen,
At 3.30 comes the Naval Race when two men and a cox from H.M.S. Tarantula will pull a 3/4- mile course in a wherry against
