Lame mert, doing all he knew, led Potts by about a length and a half for the first half mile, when he commenced to tire and gradually came back.

Eventually Patts was declared the winner by three feet, and no sooner had he passed the post than his boat capsized, both himself and partner being dead beat.

The three yachts could not get wind enough to complete the course, and had to be towed home. The drial had the best of the race before getting becalmed.
SECOND DAY-FRIDAY, 14TH DECEMBER.
The weather being quite pleasant this morn-' ing there was a much larger turn-out of specta tors at the Regatta than was the case yesterday, although the flagship was again, so far as the fair sex were concerned, almost entirely deserted. The racing proved of an interesting description, most of the events being stubbornly fought out. to the end. We regret to have to say that the steam launch invasion of the course was even worse than yesterday-in fact, it was so bad that the rowing events were brought to an issue under extreme difficulties, and serious acti-
dents were more than once only very natiowly avoided. The Solent was again a conspicuous nuisance, and on this occasion the torpedo pleasure cruiser was ably assisted by an extra- ordinary looking white structure, which we heard described as a steam yacht. She was modestly covered with flags from stem to stern, and carried a number of persons arrayed in brass-bound theatrical yachting costumes of wonderful appearance, the entire tout ensemble reminding us forcibly of the burlesque of "Black-ey'd Susan," a very large telescope, which was a prominent ornament, in the hands of the gilded skipper, vividly recalling gillant Captain Crosstree and other nautical heroes of the buckram school. Anything more disgraceful manner in which there two large vessels steamed up to the boats during a race could scarcely be imagined, and the only conciu. sion that can reasonably be arrived at is that the persons in charge were neither sailors, sports- men, nor gentlemen. During the race for the Members Cup a small German Jaunch, rushing recklessly up the course, collided with one of the V. R. C. official launches and was within an acc of being capsized.

After going a couple of hundred yards the Ubique, in the cene of the course, assumed a lead of nearly a length, which was maintained for balf the distance, when the crew uiterly
collapsed, and a fine race home between the other pair resulted in favour of the Sappers by a quarter of a length,

Odds of 6 to 4 were laid on Scotland. Owing to the starter's gun missing fire a very indifferent start was effected, Ellis, always on the alertį, slipping away wish a good half length's lead of Ireland, the Scotch, who were on the Kowloon side, getting a very bad send off. The Major set his men a long, steady drag, which quickly placed the Rose in a commanding position, although Lockhart, abiy s pported by his three Scottish "griffins," was working like a Trojan to get on

This race was de inled in the Twilight, and caused considerable excitement Lockhart had a bit the best of the start and before rowing twenty strokes led by over a length, the heavy weights commencing very slowly, and this advantage was maintained throughout. At half a mile Lockhart was three lengths in front, and although two of his crew broke their streichers at a critical part of the contest and crowd of steam launcheï tried all they know to spoil the rece, a tough struggle to the finish showed Lockban's men very easy
yards from the start the Irish dropped clean away and were never afterwards seen in the race, whilst the Thistle gradually commenced to draw on the English boat. The bow of the Thistle overlapped the stern of the Rose at the shear-legs, and at least half a dozen times Lock- hart spurted with undeniable gameness, but Ellis always responded, and a clinking race to the fi-ish ended in favor of the English by about three quarters of a length, the final spurt of the Scotch considerably reducing their opponents' lead. The victory of the English-who sub-winners by a length. stituted Hayllar for Metcalfe at the last moment was well received, their game stroke especially coming in for a most enthusiastic recep ion.

Proceedings commenced with the Gig race for European non-commissioned officers and men of the Garrison, which fell to the R. E. crew in the Cambridge after a desperate finish. For the. International three boats canre to the starting point, the Irish crew pluckily deciding almost at the last moment to try their Juck. On the strength of their form in the Ladies Purse the Scotch were strongly supportert at 6 to 4 pn. although it was the general opinion of experts that the substitution of Hayllar for Metcalfe in the English crew would bring the rivals close together. The Scotch, who had the inside position, were very unfortunate at the start owing to the Starter's gun missing fire, this accident losing them a good length, while the English boat was well under way before Lockhart made a move. At first it looked as if the Scotch would soon get on terms, Lockhart's powerful efforts being most vigorously seconded, but each spurt was promptly responded to by Ellis, and the two boats drew clear away from the Irish and raced with not quite a length between them, spurt and counter-apurt, for the fist three parts of the distance. At the Breakwater the Scotch crept up a little closer and for a moment the stem of the Thistle over-lapped the stern of the Rose, but Ella was rowin with consummate -judgment and at once put in an extra dozen,' with the result that in making the bend for the winning post about half a length of clear water intervened between the two boats. Encouraged by the cheers of their partisans the men from the other side. of "Tweed's silver stream" made one more grand effort to retrieve the for tunes of the day, and again the Thistle rapidly drew up to its opponent, but the English were not Iyet done with and their stroke's final call was immediately answered, and a grand race to the finish ended in England's fivor by three parts of a length. A better contested race has never been witnessed, and although England is. entitled to all the honours of a victory which was handsomely won, It is not un- likely that had the Scotch got equally well Away from the starting post the result would have been reversed. The Public Schools race was won easily by a crew of Spanish boys hailing from Victoria School, the lads from the Hongkong Public School finishing a plucky second. Another grand struggle was witnessed In the Danish Cup, Lockhart, with two of his International crew behind him, outstaying_E. B. Shepherd and winning by a length. The event confined to naval officers was easily won by Hickley's Imperieuse crew, who also upset the calculations of the cognoscenti by very shortly afterwards achieving a clever and most creditable victory in the Garrison Cup, in which they reversed the Ladies Purse form with the Scottish International men. In analysing this reversal of form it should not be overlooked that Lockhart's crew had already rowed two very severe races—the International and Danish Cup, whereas the powerfully built Naval officers had a very easy task set them in the "T. J. Cup. It was almost dark when the two eight-cars, representing the United Services and the Club and stroked by Major Ellis and Stewart-Station No. 3-Leek, J. A. Fredericks, lost. Lockhart respectively, started for the Members' Cup-the last race of the meeting. Opinions differed widely as to the result of this interesting event, the Club probably having most supporters.
