Running the Regatta Cntter! News Iteml M Auckland »' en fete' for the Anniversary Day Regatta. Armchair Admirals are forsaking the sheltered anchorage of their Spot Club, and donning trim yachting caps and reefer jackets for the annual cruise to Devonport. Pukka yachtsmen are attired in the more conventional rig of -bathing togs or khaki shorts, in case they are mistaken for the former. Marines —Royal, Live and Dead—troops for the use of, are to be seen everywhere. Practically every craft in the harbour is 'splicing the mainbrace', prior to the big race. Tim and Ru have loaded their, dinghies to the plimsoll, having drawn their victualling stores from that well-known hostelry "The Sailor's Farewell." Tim has just finished singing Pop Eye the Sailor's Song, "Let there be no moaning at the Bar when I put out to sea ... ." Ru is now chanting '"Twos only an old beer bottle, floating oat upon the sea," from the song of the Vulgar Boatmen. Which reminds us that this is supposed to be an advertisement for Timaru Ale! But as there's no more space, what are you going to do about it ? For our part the course is clear.
