Reports state that Waitaki and Wanganui are in hard training, and there is no doubt last year's winners will make a big bid 'to repeat their performance. Wanganui, who have a big reputation, defeat of last year to make up for. when they were iinexpectedly beaten by Christchurch High School. The latter have three of their last year's crew rowing in this year's contest, and are expected to make a creditable showing.
