The race for both classes on Saturday was down stream to a mark-boat anchored opposite the Kajao creek and back. A heavy squall, which had been threatening all the afternoon, broke just about the time that most of the yachts were endeavouring to round the mark-boat, and several "casualties" occurred in con sequence. Thresher and Violet in cla "A" had managed to get round just in time. Kid succeeded in following, though with some difficulty, but Spoondrift and Winsome both got driven ashore and had to anchor fora time, while Phyllis was carried half-a-mile too far before she was able to turn. Thresher and Violet, a long way behind, were the only two to make anything of a race.

Shooting.
S. V. ©. Anrmeny v. H. M.S. Rosanto.
A match between teams representing the Artillery and the Rosario was shot off last Friday afternoon at the Rifle Range. The ranges were 200, 500, and 600 yards ten men a side; the lowest two to count out. A fairly strong right wind was blowing at the first two ranges, making shooting rather erratic, and at 600 yds. the light was failing. "Scoring at the shortest range was fairly even, but at 500 and 600 yds. the Battery went ahead and won by 43 points. This is the third match between these two teams, and the third win for the Artillery.
