It is proposed to have nine events en each day of the Regatta, with three sailing mees on the first day and two on the second. The four-par outrigger mces will include ---Chairman's Challenge Cup, Gor man Cup Lusitano Cup, International Challenge Cup, Ladies Prize, Profession Cup (fos wertbers of the samo profession, Chiueso Cup (griffine), and the Challenge Race between the V.R.C. and the Hong kong Boat Club, There will also be a race for tab seulling boats, and the usual racca for gigs, whalers and cutters, spans and snake boats. There may also be a novelty in the shape of a light gig heo with lady coxswains. I bi! Tieve it was proposed to let the ladies ateer the outriggers, but those who know the difficulty of keeping the four-nare straight course thought it would be unsafe to frost the boats to the fair craswains. If a sufficient number of light gigs can be got together, the race shock prove of great interest.
