Wellington, Jan. 17.

The yacht Mascotte had a fine weather passage from Lyttelton. The Waitangi will race under the colours of the Auckland Yacht Glub in the first-class championship, as she does not become the property of the Wellington syndicate until the day after the regatta. The question as to whether the Waitangi could be considered an outside boat was dealt with by the Regatta Committee, who depicted that if Mr Logan signed the entry form describing the yacht as sailing under the auspices of the Auck- | land Yacht Club, the entry ehould be taken as from an outside boat. It is understood that Mr Logan will sign accordingly. It is stipulated that the prize for the first-class race should be £100 if two outside boats competed, and as the Waitapgi and Maeeotte make up the required number, the maximum prize money will be paid. Mr Logan will sail the Waitangi. She Jβ to be taken «n tha slip to-morrow to have some copper replaoed. .During ! the voyage from Auckland she displayed a great turn of speed on » mn&t surprising those on board, although she is only a very small boat compared with the other competitors. The owner of the Napier ypcht Atalanta intends to sail her in the big event-in preference to the race for) second-lass boat*. Both the Atalanta'

and Waitangi had a very rough time in Palliser Bay, where they experienced a heavy northerly sea. The general opinion in yachting circles here is that the Waitangi requires more ballast, but Mr Logan holds tbe contrary view, and intends to sail her as she is.
