(FRow "SPORT AND GossrP.")
On Saturday the Handicap class race was sailed down river, round the Red Bue; and return. The following yachts started, Lorna, Spoondrift, Henrietta, Lamb, Coronella, Violet, and Idaho, It was a dead muzzler pretty, nearly al the way, and a reach and run home. All the boats were reefed down at the start, the breeze being fairly stiff and puffy, and the water was choppy. The Jdako soon assumed the pretmiersbip, and before Kaojuo was reached, the fleet excepting the Idaho, Violet, and land the Viole weathered the idaho. Pus-Goroncla gave up." On nearing Gough Issing the shipping at WWoosung the water was very lumpy and besides there was a good sea running, the boats pitching about considerably. "The Violet and Idaho practically made the race, the Coroneila falling hopelessly in the wake. On the Violet rounding the buoy first sheets were eased off, and on the return stretch from Pheasant Point to the foot of Gough Island it was a straight run and the two boats shook out their reefs, The Violet finished ahead of the Idaho, no change in position taking place. The Jako wins on time allowance. yard, b. Tuck FA. L. Sylva, not-out 12. Thompson, c. Forbes, b. Tuck.
