He remarked: —“I am given to understand there has been no single sculling champion shir) between the two clubs for the last few' seasons, and I think it would create a good deal of interest amongst members and -the public, as, since AV. Webb’s victory, sculling has come to the foro in New Zealand.” Mr. Grieve suggested that conditions he fixed jointly by delegates from each club, his personal view being that the oontest should be an annual one, and the Cup not won outright.
