This Club decided another points race last Saturday (27th May), the starters being “Rona” (scratch), “White Heather” (4min.), and “Kotiri” (Ifimin.). The start was timed for 2.30, but the “Kotiri’’ was five minutes late. The other two competitors, however, waived their right to a punctual start and waited for the full handicap time to elapse, the race being under the Mark Fog system. The course was from Clyde Quay wharf round Point Jerningham to a dolphin off the Patent Slip, thence round Point Halswell to the Falcon Shoal buoy and home to the starting line The wind was nor’-west, light and flukey, and the race was a procession in the order of starting until a short distance from home, when “White Heather” displaced “Kotiri” in the lead and eventually won with about a minute to spare, with “Rona” some seven minutes behind “Kotiri.” The “White Heather” and “Kotiri” were thus equal in points. The result was

the race described on page 729, “White Heather” winning by five minutes.
