Favoured by brilliant sunshine and a freshening wind. the opening cruise of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and first rowing regatta of the season was held last Saturday: Practically the entire fleet of the Yacht Club, numbering nearly 60, were out in full sail, presenting a wonderful spec 'tacle. A large crowd was present, including His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government (Hon. Mr. W. T. Southörn, C.M.G.) and Mrs. Southorn. Mr. A. L. Shields, the newly-elected Commodore of the Club, Mr. H. S. Rouse, Vice-Commodore, and many others. The function is re- ported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
