weather, for which the Club had no responsibility. As it was, the rowing races furnished plenty of sport, and the day was a complete success.

The members and guests were taken to Yau Tong in launches from 11 Murray Her, arriving about o'clock, and the contests began soon afterwards. At noon an effort was made to despatch a sailing race, but it proved to be unsuccessful, and the committee was forced to adjourn it to a later date. On the whole, the rowing races were well fought, and generally the finishes were close. The feature of the rowing was the performance of P. Tivan in the Tub Sculling event, in which his time for the half mile was 30 seconds better than that of the winners of the other: heats. Tin, was served picturesque spot beneath the rocks. The results of the races were as follows:

The dragon boat race had to be abandoned, as only one boat was available.

At the conclusion of the racing programme, the prizes were presented by Mrs. Witchell, wife of the Hon. Secretary. She was introduced by Mr. McKirdy, who said he regretted that Mr. Logan, 'the Chairman, who was more accustomed to such matters than himself, was not there to do the speaking. While the arrangements were not so perfect as might be desired, it must be remembered that this was the first of the series of picnic trips and that they had to learn from experience. It was up fortunate that the spence of wind had necessitated the postponement of the sailing races, but he believed the fire rowing they had wit nessed had been a compensation. He hoped at the next meeting, somewhere about the end of January, to have ladies taking part in the sailing races, and also to have dragon boat events. Unfortunately. on this occasion one of the dragon boats was out of repair. They had' all enjoyed the Scratch Fours race which was only won by three or four feet after a great struggle, and he wished to congratulate the winner of the sculls also on bisexcellent show- Ing. Much of the success of the nfecting had been due to the untiring work of the hon. secretary, Mr. Witchell
