Most of the vessels traaV ing to the Plains and the Waiifpu wero crowded, many vessels being within a few passengers of their maximum load. Conditions were, however, not. too favourable;' and tho sea proved somewhat choppy. A launch which left TEames early on Sunday with a few passengers, experienced a rather rough trip, and many were suffering from mal-de-mer as a result. s Tho Northern Company vessels wero all decorated with bunting and greenery, while at tho top of each! matt a sprig of mistletoe, had been suspended. On Christmas Day many people wero ablo to eh joy Christmas dinner at home and then catch the Wakatere for. Auckland in the afternoon. A largo number made •tho trip, the racing on tlie following day being the chief attraction.
