v 1 N.Z. COUNCIL MEETS ' PROTEST FROM (.'LIB DISMISSED j, I ;pay.33 ml.ecram.) ' WELLINGTON. March 20. ] j A meeting of the New Zealand Row- ! ; nr;- Caime'i received a protest from] j the Waitcinata Club against the con- j ■ ditions under which the New Zealand j I single scullins champions-hip race was j ! rowed at Pieton on February 17. ] ! It was submitted that the chapter j uf accidents which characterised the j ; race could be attributed to the water \ conditions, and it was contended that i the decision as to the suitability of! ', ihe water had been made by the, starter alone and nut by a sub-com- ! mittoe as stipulated by the rules 1 ooverr.ine, championship events. j Mr M. A. Turner, the council's rc- ; preventative at the regatta, stated that | the sub-committee had discussed the | water conditions and agreed that they j 1 were satisfactory. This opinion had I been borne out'by the fact thai not , one of the boats swamped. } j Mr H. G. Duncan, r.nothcr mimbcr , ui the council who was present at the : I regatta, said that in his opinion the , • water conditions were quite satisfac- ! torv. i Ihe chairman iMr G. Lauehlam | j said that the Waitcmata Club's apI peal was obviously based on a wron;:' , ! assumption that the decision as to I j water'conditions had not been made j ! in accordance with the rules. j | The protest was dismissed. j i The council agreed to a request to | ! allocate one of the cups in its posses- I ! sion to the inter-island | i rr.ee to be rowed on the day of the | i interprovmeial eights. I i The question of the domicile of the j I trophy al'ter it has been won was held ■ ! over m the meantime. j [ 'I .te appointment of Mr R. G.
