Considerable interest was evinced on Monday in the sailing race between the yacht Whisper r (built by Mr. Savace, of Shortland), and the yacht Hit-or-Miss (built by Messrs. Carr and &on, of Auckland), The former boat is 6 tons register, and the latter 9 tons, and it was mutually decided that the smaller one should be allowed four minutes. At half-past 5 o'clock in the morning the two yachts were started j from the end of the Tararu Wharf. The | Whisper, which is of a different build to that of her competitor, caught the wind | first, although the Hit-or-Miss was not long in ; following her example. The two vessels kept even for a mile or two, but after that the Whisper commenced to " walk," and by the time she was half-way across, was about two n miles ahead of her opponent. Tho Whisper rounded the Sandspit lighthouse at half-past nine, and the Hit-or-Miss was then about four >« miles behind, and reached the Spit nearly an nour later. The sea was running mountains nigh, and both boats frequently shipped seas, which were, however, quickly pumped SS- a ° a^n * During the run up the it made one " board," and the other boat three. On the run home the Hit-©r-MLis gained on the Whisper considerably, "I nut the latter had too great a start, and she J was unable to catch her. The Whisper artilo winning post, the Tararu wharf, at. half-past twelve, two miles ahead of the •tiit-or-Miss. The winner made the run of 44 miles in exactly seven hours, and the loser in seven hours and ten minute*. The stakes were A.IU a-side, but the'race was more to test the i tba » else.-
