The various ovents were woll con- tested, but there was a limitation of entries owing to the absence of cer- tain Naval units at gen. This was particularly felt in the case of H. M. Ships Wishart and Wild Swan, des patched to sea on short notice on Tuesday. In certain cases the places of competitors from these ships wore filled by other Naval mén, post entries being accepted.
