OPENING ORUISE.
There was a good muster of boats at the moorings on Sunday morning at 12.45, when the Vice-Commodore, Capt. Hastings, started for Stonecutters. Many of the boats were not quite ready at the advertised time, so the fleet was more or less spread all over the harbour. The wind was, very variable in strength, and from the north, so it was considerably after two o'clock when the Ladybird, flying the swallow- tailed burgee, cast anchor off the Volunteer Camp. The new boat, Bonito, owned by Major Kos and Major Little, excited a good deal of interest. She was designed by Mr. Arthur Payne, of Southampton, and built by the Dock Company, and is supposed to embody all the most modern ideas, and is expected to shew the local boats the way round.
About 3.30 a race was started, Beauty at the helm. The course was round Stonecutters Island, leaving it to port. The boats compet ing were Active, Princess, Maid Marian, Phoebe, Erica, Sybil, Bonito, Dart, Payne, Lady- bird, She, Doris, Geisha, and H.M.S. Tamar's cutter. In the first reach westward Erica went away from the fleet, with Maid Marian second. Most of the fleet got hung up under the lee of the west fort for a minute or two, but had a 1 good breeze for the rest of the way. The finishing line was crossed by the first five boats at the following times —
