ROWING TEST
N.Z. Lead Is Cut To 2-1 (N.Z. Press Association) HASTINGS. Rowing In miserable conditions, the Australian pair, R Lull and R. Lachal, had a fourlength win in the third race of the Australian-New Zealand test series at Clive last evening. The fourth event, the fours, was postponed until this morning. New Zealand won the eights and single sculls at Lake Karapiro on Sunday and now has a 2-1 lead. Conditions at Clive were bitterly cold, with a stiff following breeze whipping up a chop over the full length of the 2000-metre course.
The Australian pair, stroking strongly, soon built a lead, and when the New Zealanders, A. Ward and A. Wilson, fouled a pier of the highway bridge at about half-way, the Australians went five lengths ahead. The New Zealand pair stroked desperately but could not make up the leeway.
