ROWING.
At a committee meeting of the Gisborne Rowing Club it was decided to close the entries for tho outrigged fours on Saturday next, and that the trophies of the President (Mr A. F. Kennedy) be allotted for the event. The races are to come off in about a month’s lime, over the mile course. In answer to a communication from tho N.Z. Amateur Rowing Association, with regard to forming local associations, after the style of local. football unions, it was decided to inform the Gisborne delegate (Dr Pollen) that the Gisborne Club did not think it advisable, as it would mean additional expense without any extra benefits. . The secretary was instructed to write to the Napier -Rowing Club with reference to thfe annual fixture, asking them to send their crews up at Easter if convenient, and also the number of crews likely to be coming. It is probable that two or three of the Auckland clubs would send crews down, if the Gisborne Club could see their way to giving a prize for a maiden or junior race. It was decided to leave the matter to the general meeting next week. If the Club cannot see its way to give a prize some of the members of the committee have expressed their willingness to make up a prize themselves. Members of the Poverty Bay Club ate in active training for the double-scull events.
