The crew from the Thames Naval EowingClub, consisting of Goldsworthy (stroke), Newdeck, E. Newdeck, T. Goldsworthy, and V. Savage (coxswain), went aouth in the Tanpo this afternoon to compete in the Wellington Interprovincial Regatta on the 22nd inst. The withdrawal of Farnall from the Eodney candidature, makes Sheehan's return certain. Creighton's report on the graving dock shows that Point Calliope is very suitable, but that the cost will be heavy. It is estimated at £120,000. The Board has determined to construct a dock on the site fixed upon before at a cost of £65.000. A letter from a gentleman of position to the Star, shows that before its sale to Russell and Co., he was prepared to give £30,000 for the Piako swamp, which the Government sold for £10.000. and' after making an application for the land, he was floating a company in Eugland to settle it, when he discovered that in the meanwhile the private sale had taken place. He estimates that the construction of a railway through it by the Government has e nhanced its value to £100,000.
