Rkgatta and SroiiTs.— Our annual sports and regatta took place here on 2nd instant. Tho weather was good, with a fine breeze blowing, this, however, was more appreciated by those on the water. Long before the time appointed for the first event (tho sailing race,) an unusual number of people had made their appearance, amongst them many from Kawhia and others from Hatnil ton, Whatawhata, and Te Awamutu. Great praise is due to the race committee and stewards, for the programme, and the very efficiont way in which it was carriod out. Appended aro the several events with the results.
