The time limit is three hours. The delegates were accorded a reception. Akaroa Harbour is a fine sheet oT water. 10 miles long bv three wide, surrounded by hills, which will make the course tricky in light and moderate weather. All crews are keen, and were out this afternoon stretching sails and getting a run of the harbour. The Wellington boat is much fancied for very light weather, while the Avalon takes popular fancy in moderate weather. The crew of the latter is quietly confident of winning.
