MANUKAU JOTTINGS.
WORK ON OTHER CRAFT. Work on the boats on the Manukau is proceeding apace. At the Bluff, tho Anahera has had a lot of work put into her but she is far from ready. The Elsinore should bo ready for the next springs. A lot of work will have to be done on the Waiter© 11. if she is to start in the first race. This .also applies to tho fine launch McMaselle. The Myria and Hetty both have a lot of work which needs fine weather to complete, and if Ibis eventuates in the next few weeks they should be down for Labour Day. The Champagne, 78ft. champion, has been practically ready for a couple of weeks and requires only the finishing coat to complete her. Round in the other bay tlie speedy Rosita, which will carry the flag of the commodore of tho Yacht Club, is well under way. Of the craft drawn up in tho backyards, Aoma hopes to be ready for Labour Day. Tho Sea Gnome, which, iu addition to fivo cup flags, will fly tho ling of the commodore of the Cruising Club, has had her final coat and is ready to be brought down when the weather improves.
