The day broke dull and hazy, with but little wind, and there was every prospect of a smooth sea for the interesting series of rowing races. About boff an hour before the first event, the wind freshened considerably with the result that the water became more turbulent. Indeel-ro choppy was the sea beyond the opposite island that it was deemed advisable to alter the course. for the several races where the detunes to be covered was a mile. Accordingly they started at the half mile mark and finished half a mile further down the channel. In this way every. thing passed off satisfactorily, and as sunshine brightened the surroundings in the afternoon the visitors enjoyed to the full the beautiful am interesting sights.

He thought the meet- ing that day had been a great success, largely due to the co-operation of the services-the naval and the military-with the civil element together with the competition of Caston, which they always welcomed whether they were. successful or not. In conclusion he prasouted Lady Noel with a bouquet as a marinente of the occasion. (Applansə)."
