Canterbury—Lone Finisher

Canterbury—Lone Finisher.

The Rowing may be summed up by the remark of the wit on the launch following the race, after the A.U.C. and O.U. crews were fished out of the harbour:—"And to think C.U.C. managed to stay afloat when they learned to row in a bally ditch C.U.C. took the lead from a perfect start, O.U. sank a mile along the course, A.U.C. a mile later, and C.U.C. paddled home the sole survivors. V.U.C, were not represented.

Tennis on the very fine Stanley Street Courts proceeded to the semi-final stage in most events. Our representatives were eliminated in the early rounds of both singles. However, Gosnell took Young, of C.U.C., who met Barnett in the final, to 8—6. 6—4, and Miss Phillips took Miss Taylor (A.U.C.), who was a finalist in her event, to 8—6, 6—3. The V.U.C. pairs in the men's, ladies' and combined doubles did very well.

A very pleasant drive round Auckland's numerous show places, with afternoon tea at St. John's College, occupied most of Sunday afternoon. St. Matthew's Church was crowded for the service conducted by the Rev. M. G. Sullivan. This service was noteworthy for the fact that the preacher is also President of A.U.C. Students' Association.
