The .t rote of the Teat broke an oar soon sf:er the start„
and consequently had to sive up. The Mistletno, '
&Amino. ant Lady of the Lake kept well together till
ju.t before p wsing the committee boat for the first time,
when the olis•letoe took the lead, ant, on r nsching the
Nom was leading by four clear lengtu, followed by the
' Endylui rn, the Lidy of the Lake. and the Sunbeam
having follen considsrahly in the rue; but, owing to come
of th lou ya having drifted out nf tuition, ant that
..hich the Mistlet se rounded some 40 yir•de, this gave the
B Idymion • Are at advantage, they leading on the return
journey by about seven lengths The Matletoe, however,
quickly overhauled the Boureemouth bu', and • well-
contested f•Co ensued to the winning p is' the Mistletoe
eventually winning by shout six lengths. the Lady of the
Lake finishing thin, and the Sunbeam loot, both being a
conaiderable distance in the rear of the winning boat A.
protest awes entered by the crew of the Bodymion,
alleging • foul by the Mistletoe, the result of which we
have not heard, and we question whether the committee
could accept • prot •st, the same not having been lodged
till two boors after the rue, the Bill stating ttat any
protest moot be lodged wthin the hour. There is no
doubt but that hod it been • straight course the Mistletoe
would have 'woo he winner by some twelve lengths
Instead f viz It should he menti.ned that both the
Hodymion sod Sunbeam are boats built on the latest
principle by Ckitor, of Oxford, whilst the Mistletoe, the
winning boat, was by • local man, Mr. G. Bromby, of
P.,le, and certainly in a very nice boot and reflect, great
gnrdit on her builder. We hear that on the protnet being
given against the Mistletoe, the crew of the Eadynnion
will at once receive a challenge from the crew of the
I former.
