BOAT CREWS' RACE.
HORORATA'S CADETS WIN,
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
WELLINGTON, Wednesday,
The race between the boat crews of the deep-sea vessels in port for the challenge cup donated by the oversea shipping companies was rowed to-day.
The Pakipaki was represented by two boats, the crew of one of which were negroes. The Hororata had two boats, and the Tasmania and Rotorua one each. The event was won by a boat manned by cadets of the Hororata, with the boat from the Rotorua three lengths away second, and the Tasmania's boat half a length further away third.
The Tasmania was the holder of the cup, having won it twice in succession, but the trophy has to be won three times before it goes to the winners.
The harbourmaster, Captain J. Dawson, and Captain P. S. Peterson, pilot, followed the race in the launch Arahina.
