ROWING.
STONE UNABLE TO "VISIT AUSTRALIA. FBI IELEGKAPH — PBESS ASSOCIATION.] AUCKLAND, 7th April. Auckland amateur oarsmen are much disappointed to learn, by cable that G. E. Stone (of the St. George's Rowing Club, and, for three years past, amateur sculling champion- of New Zealand) will not be able to take part in the coming Australasiaji championship meeting on the Parramatta. It was Stone's intention to have left for Sydney on Monday next, and his friends were confident of his being able to put up a fine performance against the best of the Commonwealth oarsmen. The cable in question, how&vei, announces that under the Australian Rowing Association rules Stone is not eligible to take part because of the fact that, on one occasion, he competed at the Auckland gaslight sports. Stone was reinstated a* ait amateur by the New Zealand Rowing Association, but the Australian Association considers that its rules will not permit of Stone's nomination being accepted. The visit of the New Zealand amateur champion to Sydney has therefore to be abandoned.
