Many of the yachts wore decorated with bunting. Commodore Hanlon, in the motor launch Doreen led the procession of motor boats, whilst Vice-’ commodore Moller, in fho yacht Waimana, led the yachts. The Citizens’ Band, under the direction of Bandmaster Cook, were in attendance, and played several selections. Many of the motor launches were placed at the service of passengers from the wharves to the shed. A little after three the season ■was declared open by Commodore Hanlon. The secretary (Mr M’Keegan) and the members of the Committee watched after the interests of visitors, who were supplied with tea and refreshments.
