MODEL YACHTING.

ORAKEI CLUB'S OPENING. The model yacht racing season will be opened by the Orakei Club :on Monday, when a serieß of races for three-footers, four-footers and allcomers, also junior events, will be held. These races will not be confined to Orakei members, but are open to allcomers. This is an innovation by the Orakei Club and is to be commended to the notice of the other clubs for their opening events. The first, race on Labour Day will start at 10.30 a.m. It is expected that in addition to the large fleet of Orakei boats, a number will "O over from Ponsonby. The Manukau and Point Chevalier Clubs are also likely to be represented. In the event or large entries, the three classes will be sailed in heats and a final. This should provide

some keen contests and, given fine weather, which seems very likely, a good day's sport is assured. PONSONBY CLUB. The Ponsonby Model Yaclit Club will open its season on Sunday, November 10, starting sharp at - p.m. The events will be 3ft, 4ft and allcomers, and will be open to all. The club will carry on fortnightly races from the opening date. MAN UK A U CLUB. The Manukau Model Yacht Club will hold its li'rst races on Saturday next, when the usual events will be sailed in Mill Bay, at the foot of Church Street, Onehunga. As liigli water occurs at 8 p.m., the day should be very suitable and the season get a good start.
