Conditions are perfect for the New Zealand Championship Regatta, which is being held here to-day. The water is perfectly smooth, and provided a plight northerly breeze at present prevailing, does not freshen, the championship course will be excellent, and the oarsmen will meet under the fairest terms. There is bright sunshine and a large crowd is already gathering. LATER. Champion fours: Hamilton (G. W. St. Clair, B. Sandos, W. Bagby, E. A. Waters) 1; Wanganui Union (C. A. Healey, M. Galbraith, A.
