[By Stroke,] The funds of the Dunedin Regatta Committee, I am pleased to state, are now In a very flourishing condition. The Committee have at least LIOO at their disposal. This amount, I am sure, will afford a very good day’s sport indeed. The Christchurch people, I notice, believe in advertising their regattas, I have a programme of a regatta to be held in February, 1893, at wbioh L2OO is to be given in prizes for rowing alone. The way to do business. Concerning the training of crews, the D. A.B.C. boys are hard at it. The juniors, to my mind, are showing the best form. This club’s pair-oar races start on Wednesday evening next at 5.30 o’clock. The final will no doubt be got off on Saturday afternoon. Next week comes the dingey races. Coming to the 0.R.C., the seniors have developed a nice-going style, bat I question if style, less endurance, will win them races. The juniors also might do a little more land training. The Maidens, under Djehan, are going finely, and are all in good nick, O.R.C. boys, be careful with your boats, and first and foremost, get your landing stage lowered a bit. Last Saturday you nearly knocked the stuffiing out of poor old Rob Roy by dropping him twice before you got him properly landed. This was caused by the staging being so high from the surface of the water —too high by far. Concerning the wager-boat men, both Hogan and M'Grath are training bard. I would like to see Hogan taking longer spins at a time. He must do so if he wants to gain hia wind. M’Grath brings up bis elide finely, bnt is a little slow in bringing his shoulders up square before putting weight on stroke.

On Saturday the old Dauntless, now the Calliope, was launched, after a rest of more than twelve years on shore. She is to be fitted as a pleasure yacht merely. The Mistrel, late Alice, is to be tried at this

regatta in the Second-class Yacht Race. Doable reefs were the order of the day on Satarday, Talking about taking the ground in the harbor, I noticed a large 10-ton yacht aground off Ravensbonrne on Sunday morning, With a fair wind down the channel, how came she there ?

The D.A.B. Club have arranged to start a gymnasium in connection with their club. This will have the effect of keeping their members together during the winter months.

Eulnine and Norton have been scratched for all engagements at the Hawke’s Bay Jockey Club's autumn meeting.
