Saturday's Yachting.
Chas B.
The eleventh race of the season started at 2.30 p.m. on Saturday, over the usual down-river course to Kajao Creek and back, 16 miles, the Tine being! crossed in the following ordi Ethel, Kid, Violet, Winsome, Irvin Phyllis, Spoondrift, Najade, Thresher. Tide ebb. Wind N.N.E.; fresh, but variable and puffy. Most of the yachts carried whole sail, but Phyllis and Spoondrift had one reef down. Kid took the lead, but off the Camp had to resign it to Violet, who in turn had to!
Course was to the Flour Mill and back. [12 miles. Time of start, 2.45. p.m The line was crossed as follows: Leven, Red Tape, Madcap, Woo Wynn, Sibyl, Merlin, Finishing elapsed times wore i hom 20 21 85 2 2 40 2033 5 2 28 00 Madcap 2 4 10 Wee Wynn 2 46 30 give way to Thresher, which had worked her way through the fleet, looking very well with her jack-yarder sot.
From the International Dock it was a beat to the mark boat, and Spoondrift began to creep up to the leaders.
Nearing Black Point Kid, instead of working the Pootung shore as all the yachts were doing, tacked over to Hongkew side, a i as not only is account of the forming there during the past four or five years, but she also met the incoming flood, which makes first on that ide. After touching ground once or twice, she returned to her proper course, sadder, and we trust, wiser than before. Winsome also took one board across the river after the Kid, but quickly discover. ing her mistake came back again, having in the meantime let Spoondrift through into third place.
The mark-boat was rounded as follows Thresher, with a long lead, Violet and Spoondrift. close together, then Winsome, with Kid close on her heels, Phyllis, Najade, Ethel, Irvine.
The breeze had been gradually taking off, and Spoondrift and Phyllis had both shaken out their reefs during the beat down. It was a run all the way home on the first of the flood, and in the lighter breeze Spoondrift soon passed Violet and had-the legs of the fleet, gradually reducing Threshers long lead. Kid, which seemed bent on doing the wrong thing, being apparently in. the same humour that Spoondrift was in the race last week, kept in the ship channel on the return journey instead of following the other yachts along the Hongkew shore, where not only was the tide stronger, but the distance was shorter, and it says a good deal for the light weather qualities of Kid that in spite of this disadvantage she eventually finished ahead of both Violet and Winsome.
The following are the elapsed times at the finish 1
Handicap: Merlin allows Red Tapa 1 aum., Sibyl 2 min., Leven 3 min,, Madcap min., Wee Wynn 8 min, Merlin takes Ist Rating and Ist Handicap prize, andi. byl the 2nd of each, Go. sesponience.
