ROWING COMPLAINT
REPLY BY UMPIRE
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, This Day.
Replyjng to the complaint of Mr. C. J. Mac Gibbon, manager of the Wellington crew, concerning the conduct of the interprovincial eights race, Mr. W. G. Glengarry, who was the umpire, stated that when the race started the conditions were suitable, and it was not till half a mile had been rowed that a gusty wind started. Mr. Glengarry added that he particularly objected to the statement that the crews were left to swamp and drown. He rescued the Wellington eight, taking aboard three members and the coxswain, signalling a nearby launch to take the others and to tow the boat home. He then followed the Canterbury crew inshore to ensure their safety.
He considered that Mr. A. E. White's letter was a direct insult.
