TOKATOKA REGATTA
The Tokatoka people were somewhat unfortunate with their regatta. A good prograunne was laid out and all arrangements made but the day originally fixed upon was too stormy for safety aud the fete was postponed to the following- Wednesday, when the weather was more favourable. The latter day of the week is an inconvenient one to many and the attendance suffered in consequence. The races were well contested and there was good sport. Mr Alelville’s boats were very successful. In the Yacht race ihe Trixie got a long lead but got into a bad position near shore and was overhauled and beaten by the Demon by a few seconds only. The following are the results : Eighteen- Feet Open Sailing Boats.— Melville Ist, C. Matthows 2nd. Maiden Single-handed Punt Rage. B, Brown Ist, D. Paton 2nd. Yacht Race.—-Demon Ist, Trixie 2nd. Malden Double-handed Punt Race.— B. Brown and J. Hawkins Ist, D. and J. Paton 2nd. Second Class Open Sailing Boats.— Melville’s Ist, Yum Yum 2nd. Senior Single-handed Punt Race.—J. Brown Ist, T. Hawkins 2nd. Four-oared Gig Race.—Kaihu Ist, Te Kopuru 2nd. Boys’ Single-handed Punt Race.— J. Hawkins Ist, J. Patou 2nd. Senior Double-handed Punts.—J. and W, Brown Ist, J. and T, Hawkins 2nd.
