YACHT RACE
ACROSS COOK STRAIT. {Per Press Association—HJopyrght.) WELLINGTON, December 29. The Atalanta, last year’s winner of the /Seabird Cup, which is the trophy (attached to the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club’s annual ooean race from Wellington to Jackson’ Bay, Tory Channel, put up another good performance in finishing first in this year’s event, which was started from the Clyde Quay Wharf late on Saturday night. When the sealed handicaps were opened, however, first place went to tli© Evans Bay representative, the Annetta, which, appropriately enough was formerly the Seabird and belonged to the donor of the cup, Mr D. Kirkcaldie. There were six starters, the Atalanta, Annetta, Isca, Rawene, lolanthe and Muritai. The race was sailed in a light, variable wind, and visibility was so bad that the yachimen had great difficulty in picking up the leading lights.
