After several races in hard winds the breeze

was fairly light all through the race at in Kowloon Bay very light, with a strong food tide. Ladybird, Dart, and Active went over to the Hongkong shore and the others kopt on the Kowloon side, and getting light winds in the bay were rather out of it. There was a fairly strong wind off Quarry Bay which put the Ladybird and Activo round a long time ahead in their classes. The second class bonts had batter breeze and a weaker tide beat against and so gained a little on the fra ass, but part of this was soon wiped off.
