However, on the point system of scoring yesterday Segraye made two points for finishing, while Wood, unable to finish, scored nothing. To-day Wood won the race for two points, but Segravo finished tho course without attempting to race Wood, and made one point, totalling three to Wood's two for tho eutiro race.
