.q-er) Belle Brandon, Pacific, and Mary Mel * -7'- die (all new. since last Regatta). Rover, 7' «!a**icy Lass, and Columbia. The Clio has undergone a complete overhaul during the list few days. The house oa deck has been removed, and a poop cabin substituted. The alteration should improve the vessel's sailing- Qualities and unless one of the new boats •turns out a "clinker," (if-Jaay the Belle Brandon is the most likely) we shall expect to see Mr J. S. Macfarlane's useful ketch re turned a second time the winner. In the second race, which is open to cutters of 95 tons and upwards, the most likely competitors are the Mercury, the Start, the Fannie, the Fawn, and the Sovereign of the Seas Of these the Mercury is the most sene'rally fancied. For the four-oared gig race, open to. all. comers, for which £40 will be given in prizes, only two crews will coin. 1 pete, of which the following will be the com ponent members :—Keene, Hopkins, Dalton and Newdick. Clark, Warne, Hunt, and Mel ville. This should prove an easy victory for the "former crew. For the smaller cutter race the Undine, Phantom, Avon, Bella, Don and some others will start. The Undine and Phantom ought to keep this to themselves. The'fifth race, that for yachts six tons and under nine tons, will bring out a regular fleet, and will be the prettiest sight of the .day.', Twenty entries are expected. Amon^'those known at present as certain to go.arefMrG. Darke's Ripple, Mr Stoddart's Sabrina, Mr Sandford's Foam, Mr Parker's Lily, Mr Waymouth's Pearl, and Messrs Keene and Hunter's Custave Adolphe. The Sabrina has been showing in great form 'during the last week, and if she only sails as well in the race as in practice she will be nearly winning. The prize for this will be much coveted. It is a twelve-guinea cup, pre sented by Mr W. Aitkin. The race adver tised to start at noon is for sailing boats or yachts under six tons. For this Messrs Beed and Brett give a ten-guinea cup, and some keen competition is expected. The seventh race is the principal event of the day, and will excite the greatest amount of interest. The prizes will form- perhaps the least incentive to exertion on the part of the. different owners. A far higher incentive is the desire on the part of the builders and owners to be associated with the best built and fastest yacht on the Waite mata, and *we might almost say, there fore, par conserpience, in New Zea land. This year the race will be of unusual importance owing to the many dif ferent interests represented. The approach ing aontest is looked upon as the final cri terion* of excellence between the old op ponents—*the Fleetwing and the Energy. Mr Bailey, in addition to the former, has a second string in his new yacht the Daphne, built by him for Messrs .W. H. KLissling and Aitkin ; while Mr Waymouth brings out a

new boat in the Winona, just launched from

Smales' Point, for Mr Street, of Dunedin. Of * the rival novelties the Daphne has most friends, but the Winona has so recently came off the stocks that it will hot do to say too much about-her sailing qualities. She is built on small beam and great draught principle, an arrangement which explains the terni of " all legs and wings" applied to her by: one of our local connoisseur?. She-was out for - the first time yesterday, and had a feel at the Fleetwing and Good Templar. The re sult to iis seemed to show that she could about hold her own without allowance for tonnage As. she .is over twenty tons, and the others are'l'O and 12 Ttons respectively, this is not saying much for her. The Good Templar is a ifew yacht,, and must be admitted to be a verybeautiful.addition to our Auckland fleet. Speaking perhaps rashly we should say that if a surprise is in store in this race it will be effecteciby the Good Templar; In yesterday's trial she, appeared to sailquite as close to the wind asthe Fleetwing, and she has undoubted speed. She.:is : to„be sailed by one of the best yaohtmeh in the port So that she will lose nothing from rbad management, and those who^adk her may depend upon a good run for their money.* fl T In addition to those we have mentioned Mr T^ Henderson's Spray, Mr Carind's Con trabandinier and Mr Grayden's Venture will be among the competitors. The race is an exceedingly open one. It is generally thought that if a stiff breeze is blowing the Daphne or Spray will derive advantages,.and theitime allowance- being so small the Daphne would probably win. But in any other case' the Fleetwing must, from her well-known running and tacking powers, be weU in the van. In taking the Daphne, for first and setting the Spray, and Good Templar the '.ask -bf fightmg^f or 'second place we shall not be far out. We might add thatiMessiS; J.,iand D.i::o_leyr ,' in "the case of the Fleetwing,; andi Mr Henderson with the Spray, as well as some of the other owners,, have...subjected their, vessels to every dare and attention in'"matters of alter ation, repair, and cleaning, so as to secure their best pace, andleave ho excuse for defeat. Ine other races-of;the day w_l. not.ibe im portant,, and-neod v not be . .The tub rati is sure to produce^ great fun.
