AUSTRALIAN.
THE ROWING CHAMPIONSHIP.
QUETTA DISASTER—A PROBLEM. It is understood that the Victorian Government do not intend tq to an amended tariff this session. Beach is of opinion that O’Connor is not fast enough for our best sculler. Deeble offers to match Stansbury against O’Conno- for £5OO aside. O’Connor challenges the winner of the KempMatterson race, and will give Stansbury a chance afterwards. The Quetta's cargo was insured in the New Zealand office for £1,300 and in the National for £2,745. No rock has been discovered where the Quetta sunk, and it is considered possible that some internal explosion (pay have caused the sad disaster. The captain of the ship Glenrosa has had his certificate suspended for eighteen months. Examination of the steamer Sikh proves that she had a very narrow escape. The following are the main results of the V.R.C. Meeting Autumn Handicap—Mr G. G. Stead’s Scots Grey, 7.11, 1; Tantallon, 7-4> 2 > Jebusite. 8.5, 3. Won easily. Time : am 58MS.
