AUCKLAND ROWING CLUB.
The trial fours of the ahove club, whicli were postponed from the previous week, were rowed off ou Saturday afternoon, for trophies presented by Mr P. S. Balliu. The first heat was between crews stroked by Lovett. Bakewell, and Brown, and resulted in a rather easy win for Lovett's crew. The second heat brought out crews stroked by. Davies, Wad<^ and Griffin. These three crews were locked together for the whole distance, and it was a splendid race, wheu, fifty yards from home, Wade spurted enough to win by two feet. The third heat was between Anderson and Bach's crew, and after a great go was won by Bach by half a canvas. After a spell of' half an hour the final was rowed. Wade's crew, jumped away with the lead, which they maintained over the greater part of the distance, when Lovett's crew got level with him, and, after a great race home, a dead-heat resulted, with Bach's crew about a length away third. The dead-heat crews went straight out and rowed the race over aga.m, and after a ding-dong race Lovett's crew won by two feet. The wining crew were: Lovett (stroke), Clark^ Johnston, and Price.
