THE WAIHOLA REGATTA.
The regatta on Waihnla Lake was held on Saturday and was a great success. Between 700 and 800 persons were present, including visitors from Tokomairiro, the surrounding districts, and Dunedin. We are indebted to the courtesy of the editor of the ‘Bmce Herald’ for the information that everything connected with the races gave the utmost satisfaction, the ar rangements of the committee being excellent. The rowing of the Dunedin crew was much admired. The first race was for sailors’ boats, open to all, and the prize of L 6 fell to M'Kegg’s Trader. The pair-oared race of La, and the four-oared, also of L 5, were pulled off by the Dunedin boys with the Excelsior; but the champion four-oaved of LlO went to the Pioneer, Mr A, J. Smyth’s boat, which was pulled by a Taieri crew. A protest lodged against the winner of the last-meutioned race, for having, as it was alleged, fouled another boat, was not allowed. The foar oared race for L 5, open to boats that had been three months in use in the Waihola and Waipori lakes, or on the Taieri river, was carried off by the Pioneer; and the pair-oared race for L 4 by the Taieri Pet.
