HARBOUR BOARD REGATTA HELD.

SMALL ATJF.N DANCE, OWING TO WEATHER,

The. Lyttelton Harbour Board Jubilee Regatta was held at Lyttelton this afternoon under threatening weather conditions, which prevented a larger attendance than would have been the case under ideal conditions. A light sou’-west wind did not affect the water in the inner harbour to®any extent, and there was sufficient wind outside the moles to suit the sailing events.
