[Advertisement.] To the Editor of the New Zeaxandeb. SIR, — At the Regatta held on the 29th ultimo, three gigs were started for the third race, one of them, the Kawau, being my property, the other two, the Alphabet and Sylph, having, as I am informed, the same owners. The race was won • cleverly and fairly by the Kaicau. On Saturday morning last I made application to the Committee for the amount of the prize (ten guineas), and was informed that my boat was considered disqualified, in consequence of having carried a colour differing from that which had been named on entrance, and that the money had been already handed over to Mr. Shultz, whose boat did not win; nothing having been heard by the Committee in explanation of the circumstances. If the end and aim of boat racing were simply the display of a " distinguishing flag at least one foot squaie," I should feel that I had no ground for complaint, having failed in that essential particular ; but as I believe that the encouragement "«f manly sports, and the promotion of a better style of building in boats and .vessels are the *■ objects for which money is subscribed and Re.gattas are held. lam induced to make this ► public appeal to the contributors to the race fund against a judgment which, I think, is partial and severe. The stormy weather during the two days pre- • ceding the Regatta prevented me from reaching "Auckland, and kept my cutter] Gnome, out of the first race, for which she was entered. The , proper distinguishing flag for the Kawau remained in my possession, and in my absence my friend Mr. Marlow, 'who kindly undertook to attend to this matter, started with such flag as he . could find at short notice. No objection was made at the time by Umpire, Committee, or on the part of the other competitors ; the latter, in fact, were well content to see my boat come to the post, as it was requisite to have three boats to ■etart, and some of them in their anxiety on this subject, had even offered to find & crew for her themselves, rather than miss the < money. The respective merits of the Alphabet and Sylph had been already ascertained by trial at the former Regatta, and since ; the owners of both 1 are the same or nearly the same individuals, and as it was regarded as a perfectly safe " walk over" for the Alphabet, they felt naturally indignant that a boat under a wrong colour, although convenient to mahe up a race, should be permitted 'to* win it. Upon protest it was decided, without enquiry, that the Kawau having carried a colour different from that under which she was entered, was disqualified. No unfair play or any other objection being maintained against the boat or ncrew. It is quite true that in the rules published by the Committee there is one having ipecial reference to this point. The other rules relate to vjnatters. of real importance, viz., the throwing out fir takipg invof ballast during the race, the use of
