ROWING.

NOTES.

(By "Double Scull.”)

Matters in local rowing circles are progressing satisfactorily, and the Iceenness in both sheds is well maintained.

In connection with the completion or the Poverty Bay shed good progress is 1 reported. The committee and dressing '"looms upstairs have been' lined and it • is the intention to line the ial Hall : during the winter months. The painting of the shed has been retarded by | the recent wet weather.

f The fifteen crews are still in active , | With regard to the Gisborne Club the ! sub-committee appointed to re-draft i the rules finished their task and for ; the last three weeks the general comj mittee has been revising the same and bis now practically in a position to submit them to a general meeting. It isunderstood that this will be done early in the New Year and the necessary steps taken to register this Club under ! '•‘.‘The Incorporated Societies’ Act. ■The rules will also probably be submit- ; ted to the Registrar for approval so !• that there should not be any delay in completing what should prove of great service to the Club. ' Members will understand that by subscribing to a Club i duly incorporated that they undertake [ responsibilities which must be carried ° U The racing for the “Buscke” medals commences on Thursday evening and is confined to “A” grade members. These 'are exceptionallv strong ere WS rra. nC £ X + dellent racing should result. The first ilieat for the “Chilton Fours confined “B” grade members commences on Wednesday. To show the keenness of the members it is only necessary to say that nine crews are competing. Mr i Hackett has been appointed starter, and Mr Swinnerton judge, whilst the Captain will act as umpire.
