REGATTA AT LLANDUDNO. A SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL. The fiirst annual Llandudno Regatta took place on Friday. Years ago a -regatta at Llan- dudno was a -featti-ro .of the summer season, but the reluctance' of yachtsmen to anchor in the bay owing to ilis dangerous character dur- ing a north or north-east gale led to the gradual decay of the' institution. Moorings have now been provided for yaohts by the Council, and there are hopes that the regatta may be revived. On Friday, in any case, a very promising start was made, for 'the sailing races received good entries, and there, were numerous competitors in the swimming and rowing classes. Along the Promenade there was a dis- play of bunting, and great crowds of visitors, residents, and excursionists witnessed the races. Lord Mostyn was the commodore, as Vice Ad- miral of the Court of North Wales; Mr R. S. Ohamberl-ain was the vice cornanodore; Messrs John Roberts and Frank Edge the officers of the day; Mr E. W. Jones and Mr C. Wynn Griffith, menrybers of the Royal Welsh Yacht Club, were the timekeepers; Mr J .F. Jelliooe, a veteran Welsh yachtsman, was the handi- capper, and Mr H. Edwards was the starter. Mr S Chantrey, chairman of the Urban District Council, was the ohaiTman and treasurer of the Committee, the hon- selcretary being Mr W. Longshaw, of the Town Clerk's staff. The prizes were present ad by Mrs S. Chantrey. The following are the. results -of the icompetitians:- Handicap race for yachts of any rig and tonnage, over a 15 mile course-. Pour boats sail.ed, the start being at 12 o'clock. Wallaroo (Mr James Spun) was scratch; Armistice (Mr Percy Marsh) was allowed ten minutes, as was also Cigfran (Mr W. S. Kneeshiaw), while Euryname (Mr Domingo de Larrinarga) was allowed eleven minutes. The start, for this race was witnessed by a huge crowd, the pier being well filled, and being the interval for the orchestra, every- body's interest was centered on the manoeuver- ing for best position. The line was crossed in the foil-owing order-.—"Wallaroo," "Cigfran." "Eurynome." and "Armistice." The "Wallaroo" held the first positkn, "Cigfran" and "Eurynome" giving way to "Armistice," the first round being completed in that order. Times: — h. m. S.
