The “Daring” and “Secret” withdrew under protest that the “Mosquito” did not start from her moorings. This she had done, but the hour for starting having been delayed she was obliged to remove. At ten seconds past one o’clock they all started with a stiff breeze from the S.W. The “Mosquito” took the lead after rounding the first buoy, and maintained it throughout. The “Esk” gave up the contest at 2.30, and the “Blue Bell” in rounding the second buoy carried away her foremast.

The times at which they came in were as follows:—
