THE ROYAL HONG KONG YACHT CLUB.

SATURDAY'S CLOSING CRUISE.

INTERESTING AND VARIED · PROGRAMME.

CLUB COMMODORE'S REVIEW OF THE SEASON.

The annual closing cruise of the Royal Hong Keng Yacht Club. has grown to the dimensions of a Regatta and last Saturday there were six rowing events in addition to the sailing races.

An unusually large crowd was assembled at the very pleasant Clubhouse at North Point many ladies being present. Tea was served on the law and special refreshments and accommoda- tion were provided for a large group of Royal Navy ratings who took a prominent part in the events. The Club cruisers kad dressed ship, the grounds had been decorated with bunting, and, with the bright coloured dresses of the ladies (and some of the men's blazers) the scene was very pretty and animated. number of inunches were in attendance, prominent among them being the smart" green barge of the Dockyard Commodore (Commodore J. L. Pearson, R.N., C.M.G.). Hong Kong ladies take, of course, a very real interest in yachting, as shown by the number of lady prize-winners. Many of them also followed the rowing, from the launches, with the greatest interest.

Before the large collection of handsome prizes were distributed by Mr A. L. Shields, the Club Commodore" (Mr. Shields) was able to give a very satisfactory review of the past year's activities. He congratulated, the Scots Guards on their, fine performance that afternoon-they had won all three racee which they entered and he cordially welcomed their German friends, who had won the ' Club Senior paire.

The weather looked threatening throughout the day, dark and low clouds hoyering over the Island and Mainland hills. Umbrellas and raincoats were kept handy, and though it looked as if there must be a downpeur at any moment actually the guests had the pleasure of admiring a particularly fine audact as they sped homeward when the programme was finished.

THE ROWING RACES.

Stroked by J. W. Treadwell the Scots Guards soon proved that they were just as much at home on the water as on any other element. They won the first race, for Hong and Service Units, a mile race for fours, without much diffenity, their long steady stroke carrying them
