Mr Mills’ yacht Xarifa returned from Lyt telton Wednesday morningin chargeof Captain Butt, who sailed at the Akaroi. and Lyttelton regattas. It had been anticipated that the local yachts would form a procession to wel come her, bub the arrangements fell through, and she went to her usual moorings, without any display having been made. This does not, how ever, bespeak indifference on the part of local yachtsmen and the citizens in general, for Captain Butt literally had his hands full in replying to the numerous congratulations and interrogations which met him on every side. The Xarifa will be entered for the First-class Yacht Race at the Anniversary Regatta. Aquarius.
