AUSTRALIAN ROWING
RACE FOR KING'S CUP AMATEUR SINGLES TO PEARCE MELBOURNE, May 7. The Australian eight-oar championship for the King's Cup resulted.--Western Australia, 1; New South Wales, 2; Tasmania, 3. Western Australia's thorough training -and physical fitness counteracted the polish of their rivals. Western Australia and New South Wales from the start forged ahead of the other State crews. The winners had only a canvas to spare when passing the finishing line. Four lengths separated second and third. The time for the distance of two miles and a half was 14 minutes 13 seconds. The Australian amateur sculling championship was retained by C. Pearce (New South Wales), who easily beat Purves (Victoria) and Ninham (South Australia).
