Boswell, from the L'ctonc Club, li Wellington, participated in the race. K. I, Boswell is rowing No. 6 in the Wellington i, provincial eight. Kesults: — i, First heat.—W. Dean, Bacon, Willetts, Baker, met' K. Boswell, Vowles, Wallett and Coleman. From a good start Dean took i the lead, but at the torpedo wharf Bosl well's crew, rowing a longer stroke, drew i level.
