At the Balmain Regatta, held in Sydney on the Prince of Wales'* Birthday, one of the most interesting races was that of the man-o - war cutters, in which representatives of the P»nf!>h t French, and German navies contested. It will be seen that the French were victorious; the Germans in the boat built by Mr. Baily, of Auckland, pushing them hard for first honours. The following is the result of the race Man-of-war cutters, pulling no more than 12 oars. Prize, £10. Khin (French), 1; Albatross (German), 2 ; Khin (French), 3 ; D.tnui (English), 0; Danifc (English), 0; Khin (French), 0. On rounding the ilagahip for the first time the Albatross led, followed by one of the Khin boats. The second Freuch boat ran aground on Schnapper Island, but No. 1 carried off the laurel wreath for the Khin, and, passing the German crew, won pretty easily. It is said that the stranded cr-:w had beaten the winners during trial spurts."

A few days afterwards H.M.S. Wolverene arrived from the Islands, and from the following, taken from the Sydney Daily Tchgraph, it will be seen that the victors in tlm foregoing race suffered defeat at the hands of the Wolverene crew :—" Anxious to wipe out the defeat sustained by an English man-of-war at til© hands of the French transport ship Khin, on the Piinca of Wales's Birthday, a challenge was recently sent by H.M.S. Wolverene to the Rliin to pull a race in ship's cutters. The challenge was readily accepted, and the match, which was looked forward to with considerable interest came off on Saturday. The course selected was from a boat moored between the Wolverene and the Khin, round a boat moored off Goat Island, then round a boat oti Battery Point, and back to the place of starting The boats' crews consisted of 14 men and coxswain from the Khin, and 10 inen and coxswain from the olverene. After some difficultv, occasioned by the eagerness of the Frenchmen to get away, the boats got off well together to a fl;ig dropped by one of officers of the Khin. Soon after the start, the English boat drew to tlio front, and gradually gained until Dewes Point was reached, when the Khin boat was about two lengths behind. Here the Frenchmen put on some plucky spurts, but all to no purpose, as the English boat continued to gain all the way. Kounding the boat off Goat Island the Englishmen were about four lengths, and at Battery Point six lengths ahead. From the lastnamed point the French boat fell further behind, and approaching homo she turned round, leaving the English boat an easy winner by some eight lengths. The time was 27mins. 15secs., tlie course measuring about three miles. The race was rowed in ships' cutters, each measuring about 26 feet in length, but of very different construction. The English boat is very " clipper built" compared to the round bows of the one in which the French sailors tried conclusions with their British rrieiuls ; and wo are informed that the former have expressed their desire to pull the race over again, if the boats are exchanged for the event, with 10 Frenchmen against 14 Englishmen."
