fleets were represented by boats, with the Cavite Fort. 
A spirited contest of half an hour, during which plenty 
of powder was burned, resulted in the destruction of the 
Spanish fleet. Owing to delay at the start, the tide fell 
and interfered with the battle, but the spectators enjoyed 
it all. Swimming and other races took place during the 
afternoon, resulting as follows:
