RACE BY YACHTS.
WEATHER IN .TASMAN SEA.
FINE OVER WIDE AREA.
In connection with the yacht race now in progress across the Tasman Sea, Mr. H. M. Vincent stated last evening that the boats should now be not far from the central Tasman Sea. Strong southerly winds have ruled over the central and southern Tasman Sea during the last two days, which would result in a beam oea being experienced, providing conditions likely to test the skill of the yachtsmen to the utmost. '
An extensive area of high barometric pressure rules over the greater part of the Tasman, and fine, quiet weather is in evidence over a wide area. The barometer in Auckland was rising rapidly last evening, indicating easterly winds. Mr. Vincent said the present month was usually associated with cyclonic storms from the east in the northern Tasman Sea, but at present there was no indication of these developing.
