North Shore led till off Freeman's Bay, when Waitemata went up with a spurt and rounded their mark boat 20secs ahead of North Shore. North Shore rounded their mark fifteen seconds ahead of Wairoa, which was third. Waitemata rowed a splendid stroke down the harbour, and won as they pleased. The. Opal boat, Ponsonby, and Wairoa were greatly retarded by the wash of the Alexandra and Awhina, which encroached on the course, and Opal was thus put out of the race immediately after the start.
