THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, MONDAY,

THE CLOSING CRUISE.

GALA DAY CONCLUDES YACHTING" SEASON.

SAILING AND ROWING RACES,

SEASON'S PRIZES PRESENTED.

All sports have their "official" seasons with opening and. Amishing dates and Saturday saw the conclusion of another successful season for the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club. In honour of the occasion the Club House, grounds and flee were gaily decked with flags and there was a programme of miling and rowing eventa,

At the conclusion of the racing, the Vice-Commodore of the Club (Mr. A. L. Shields) reviewed the past season; and Mrs. Shields distributed the prizes won on Saturday, and also the trophies won, throughout the Season. Lady Clementi, who sailed a yacht on Saturday, won a third prize in one of the Ladies races.

The weather for the closing cruise proved kind..

It was very warm at the outset of the programme, but as the afternoon were on the heat was tempered with a cooling breeze.

The racing throughout proved very interesting, especially in the principal event, the Admiral Leveron Challenge Cup, competition. This was presented by the former Commander-in- Chief here for competition between His Majesty's units of all Services and local Hong" crews. This cup has been won twice by the officers of the Titania and once by the Public Works Department. Crossing the line for the fourth time on Saturday, the Titania's crew, won the trophy outright, this being their third win and twice in succession. For the first time the Volunteers entered a team and came in second.

MAY

2nd, 1927.

In the afternoon the weather was so bad that further racing was impos- sible, so the ladies-bless thein- Earried off the honours on the result of the morning race.

The Committee are glad to mee the increased interest taken in the Ladies Championship Faces and hope for a good turnout next year.

The new Club cruiser is now in commission, and I hope will be the forerunner of more yachts of her class She is a handy seaworthy little ship and a great credit to her designers, Mr. House and Mr. Goulborn

The Titania entry in spite of submarines being on the move have

again won the Leveson Cup. They have crossed the line in this event four times, and were only once benten. This is their third win, twice in succession, and they have consequently won the cup outright. I am pleased that so many Indies have turned up to sail boats in spite of the hot weather, and con- gratulate those who have won.
