The following are the results of the principal events — Coasting vessels — Mahurangi 1; Henry 2. Yatch race — Rita 1. Champion five-oared whaleboat race was a terribly exciting event,
Hauraki lead for more than half the course, and odds of 6 to 4 were offered that she would win. Shortly after, however, Waitemata No 1 came to the fore, und the race reWted — Maia (Waitemata) 1; Outsider (Thames) 2. Earnest Serdifield, stepson of Mr J. Connoly, Opotiki, was thrown from his horse at Mangare, on Wednesday evening aud sustained a fracture of the scull, causing concussion of the brain. He expired at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. An inquest is to be held to-day. The Takapuna Races were postponed until tomorrow on account of the unfavorable state of the weather.
