Rowing.

The Eight prayed for it, "Smad" prayed for it, V.U.C. prayed for it-and if ever there was a perfect day for rowing it was Easter Saturday.

The only wonder is that C.U.C. did not win by more. They lead from start to finishand except for the first half-mile or so when it seemed as though A.U.C. would be dangerous, they were never hurried. Eaton, the stroke, is tobe complmented on his race. This was his first time in the stroke seat, and he rowed excellently, Maintaining a steady 30, they passed the post two lenghts in front. Congratualtions C.U.C.-a great race.

O.U. for the first time were placed. They rowed well inshore and it was the course for the day. It seems strange that the others kept out so far, but apparently they followed advice from the Petone shed.

Of A.U.C. and V.U.C. we shall say this-they were beaten by better crews. the Canterbury crew was as outstanding as Auckland's of the two previous years and to be teaten by them was no disgrace. for V.U.C., let it be said, "We'll see you next year."
