"In addition" to the usual Club races on Saturdays, matches on Sundays and ladies' races on Mon- days, we have had a very success- ful series of Wednesday races for both sexes, as quite a number of members and subscribers bave been able to get away to sail in mid-week,

"Great Britain 'beat ́Scandinavia- for the Scandinavian CLD on a very hard day. The subscribers beat the members, and the high standard of yachtsmanship which we have always found amongst our subscribers is being very well maintained.

"The ladies this year have beet rather unlucky with the weather, either no wind or too much on a number ut occasions.

The Macao Race "The Macao race was a popu- lar as ever, and Mr. Cook is to be congratulated on winning it and also on the successs of Sea Lark's new rig.
