Fine, sunshiny weather prevailed on the 11th Cox ... inst. the concluding day of the Hongkong Re- gatta, but the strong wind, though most desirable and beneficial for the yacht races, made the task of the rowing crews difficult, and the disadvantage was increased by the broken water. Despite it all, however, the sport was excellent, and surpassed in the degree of interest it held for everyone that of the opening | Cox day. Eight events, excluding the Sculling Championship, which was rowed on Wednesday and won by Mr. W. O. Köhler, were down for competition, and of these the most important | Bow... was the International Challenge Cup, the race of the Regatta. It was wou by the English crew, who crossed the line only two feet ahead of the German. The flagship Daylight was crowded

In the harbour a fleet of launches travelled between the starting and the finishing pointe, combining with the other spectacular features of the Regatta to impart to the whole scene an appearance of the greatest animation. On the Daylight Mis Goodman presented the trophies in the Ladies Prize rack to the winuing crew, and was in turn, at the hands of the stroke oar, Mr. W. O. Köhler, made the recipient of a lovely bon- quet. At the conclusion of the sports Lady Blake distributed the prizes, and also handed to Captain Roade, of the Daylight, some piec s of silverware-a mark of the estorm of the Regatta Commflees for the captain's court sy
