NOTES. (By “Double iScull.”) It is intended to row the four heats of the “B” grade of the Gisborne Club this evening, and crews are expected to be at the slied promptly at 5 o’clock. It is regrettable there was a- delay on Monday evening, but I understand the Cornmittee have taken steps to prevent a recurrence, s . ■ ■ _ , The Committee evidently intend to present to the public the most attractive racing possible, and surely members will willingly aid the committee in this respeot. In continuation of last weeks coxnments, and taking the “A” grade Dobson, as “stroke”, is a willing oar and plucky at the finish. “Three is" inclined to screw arid wants to sit up square. “Two” is. rowing nicely, but wants to put more dash into Ins work. “Bow” should swing more and eaten more smartly. , ' . - , G. Buscke, as “stroke, is very quick to take the water, birt rather inclined to rush his work. “Three lias a 10.

Coming to the “B” crews Cowan, as “stroke,” wants to put more dash into his work. “Three” is slow with his hands, rows deep and swings out of the boat. “Two”..is lazy and wants to keep bis eyes in the boat. “Bow” is a very promising oar and rowing very well indeed. Curtis, as “stroke,” is rowing with plenty of dash, but should pull tlie oar right through to the finish. “Three” is a very raw hand and inclined to tire. “Two” is rowing short and wants to swing more. “Bow is shaping nicely, but lets Ins shoulders fall at the finish.
