NIGHT YACHTING

Norddwester Wins Tonku- Lantau Race

(By SHALLBECK)

On Saturday evening the Yacht Club held one of these curi- ous orgies known as a “night race"; no one, except the Sailing Secretary and the Committee, seems to know why anyone shaald be forced to race in the dark hours of the night, as against the clear light of day. But night racing. has become a'hadić. and it is supposed to be good for the morale of the troops, 20 Whenever a race of this calibre is advertised on the programme, there is always certain to be a number of misguided and over enthusiastic yachtsmen who will take part in it. So what does

all matter, the sports proceeds.
