JUDGE’S BAY REGATTA.

This annual regatta was held last Saturday in beautiful weather, the s.s. “Arawata” being flagship. Upwards of 600 people found their way on board her, and a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon was spent. The committee and officers worked hard to ensure the success of the regatta, and their efforts were highly successful. In the race for Yachts and Fishing Boats (not exceeding 5 rating) Mr. W. Holder’s Manola won very easily from the Clio, sailed by Mr. H. Garnaut. What chance the Tangaroa had was spoilt by an accident, by which she lost the use of her mainsail. Another easy victory was that scored by Mr. F. Russell’s Minerva, in the class for Yachts and Fishing Boats under 3 rating. The Transit was second, but could never get near the Minerva. The race for Sailing Boats (18 feet and under) was a very pretty and exciting one. Six boats started, and victory rested with the Clytie, which was excellently sailed by Mr. R. Masefield. The Pair-Oar Race was won by the Ormonde, pulled by Messrs. E. and H. Bailey. Messrs. A. Carmichael and R. Johnston were second in the Carbine. A boy’s swimming race was won by E. Kenny, with 25secs, start; N. Kenny being second, and J. Pollock third. The Waitemata Boating Club won the Junior Whaleboat Race, the North Shore Rowing Club being second, and the City Rowing Club third. The St. George’s Rowing Club also started. The Waitemata Club, which consisted of R. Thorne, D. Slade, W. H. Smith, H. Cordes, and H. Atkinson, won rather easily. The race between W. H. Cook and H. Bailey in racing dingies was an excellent one, and was just won by the former. The 200 yards Swimming Handicap was won by F. Hedger with 25 secs, start, J. Cassidy, 45 secs., being second. There were nine starters. The Misses Whitney, whose rowing was much admired, won the Girls’ Pair-Oared Race very easily from Miss Payne and Miss Scott. The Waitemate Boating Club had another win in the Maiden Gig Race, the St. George’s Bay Rowing Club and the Ponsonby Rowing Club being a dead-heat second. The winning crew was composed of Messrs. E. Bailey, H. Bailey, D. Dysart, and J. Waymouth. Mr. A. Bailey was declared the Amateur Champion in the race for Racing Dingies, winning easily from H, Kitchener and K., McLennan, who finished in that order. The Greasy Boom contest was won by O. B. Hull, and Messrs. A. Busby and C. Penalligan had a walkover for the Open Pair Oar Race.
