THE AUCKLAND YACHTING SEASON.
LAST week we published pictures of some of the ‘ small fry ’ among our Auckland yachts. In this issue we produce a fine photogravure of a scene that has often been witnessed by Aucklanders—we mean the opening of the yachting season. Although the formal ceremony was dispensed with this year, to the regret of a good many people, it is to be hoped that there is no intention to establish a precedent. It would be a pity to discontinue a custom that serves in no small degree to foster an esprit de corps among yachtsmen. This year the public must rest content with the picture we present of what might have been had the practice not been permitted to lapse for once.
