TORQUAY CLUB’S MEETING.
N Saturday next, the Torquay and District Outboard Club will hold their close-of-theseason meeting in either Babbacombe Bay or Torbay.

Arrangements will be made so that each competitor may fill up at a depot boat, when he deems it necessary. The race will be run over a course measuring approximately four miles.
The regulations for the race state that competitors may enter solo, but at the same time, clubs may enter as many teams of three as they wish. Two cups will be awarded, and there will also be team prizes.
