A No. 2 [-! crew will be selected for that race. The No. 1 crew will remain in traVng -for 1 the principal event at the Hamilton * 1 Regatta on January 29. :L It will be remembered that the ,' heavy junior four was the maiden crew j' J that performed so well last year. In ' j their work this season much better form lis being shown, while the old dash re- '* i mains. j I During the past year a best and best. * i four, a double and a single sculler were * secured by the Hamilton Club. Two 'i clinker practice fours are on order, and n ! advice about them is expected daily. . . This additional plant will bring the shed * ! right up to date, and with the increased ' ' membership, and the keen interest evinced Jby the townspeople in the club's affaire, * a record season should result. ■» ! The prize money for the Hamilton , Regatta is very attractive, and no doubt , crews from as far South as Wellington will compete. The Senior Race is worth 7 ! £40 and the .Ladies' Challenge Cup for . first place and £5 for second The '• Junior Fours £10 first prize and £2 eecond. ° The Mcllwraith Cup will be rowed for on December 20 over a harbour course. j* Mr .G. Barrett is donating a set of a gold medals to the winning crew. , ? The Auckland Club has just purchased' :* two stump outriggers from the OtaL - huhu Club. '•• . e The final for the Schmidt , trophies, J which had to he postponed on Saturday '" ■ last, was decided on Monday, and nasulted " in a win for Hawes* crew. From the ? start Hawes went to the front, and his * four, rowing in good style, never left the issue in doubt. ' Stevenson was second, and Lovett third. The winning four was; Hawes, str.. Kirk, Morgan, A. Andrew. . The Auckland Club will hold pair-oar trials to-day, for trophies presented- bv. Mr'.' George flogan. Members are notified that no entries will be received after 2.30 [ p.m. The first race will start punctually ; at 2.45 p.m. > . THe West End Club will engage in trial ; fours for trophies presented by Air. A. E. ' , Collins this afternoon. The Rowing ' crews have been selected A.- Verran, v. i Nickin, C. Gulliver, F.Rogers.; A. Hamil- , ton, J. McNamara, R. Kirkwood, W. . I Dougherty A. Hunter, N. Cossey, . Graham, sen., 3. . O'Connell; L.. Ogilw, A. C. Norden, T. Gray, W. Alcock; H. Beanrsh, J.

The club pair-oar champion- : ship has created much interest. A num- . ber of pairs' are. already in training, and the various challenges will provide interesting evening events. North . Shore will officially open the season this afternoon with an "At Home" aand trial fours for trophies presented by the president, Mr. D. W: McLean. An energetic lad'es' committee is hard at work, and visitors to the marine suburb can look forward to an enjoyable afternoon's sport* The following have been, selected to competeßarnett, Emerali, Armstrong, Barclay, Rutledge, Kesseil, Hand, Harvey, Bennett, Baxter, Kesseil, Bailey, Mcllwraith, Alexander, EmeraM, ' Faulkner, Bailey, Fairgray, Cunleit, Faulkner, Fraser, Faulkner, Sisson, Rule, Harvey, Zeigler, Rykens, Holloway, Spinley, Sheppard, Bertrand, C. Bertrand, F. Follas, White, Cooper, Cunningham. A suggestion has been made that on the dav the Mcllwraith Cup is being rowed lor, the clubs should combine and ■ hold a race for old members. No doubt ! such 3D event would draw good entries, but an age limit must be made. At Whangarei the regatta crews are well under way. Mr. Alan Jack is acting as coach, being assisted by + he club captain. The club intends to compete at all regattas in the Auckland Province this ' season. With the object of raising funds ' for a new shed and plant, a series of - harbour excursions have been arranged. ' Two have already been held, and returned ; a profit that has infused much enthusiasm ■ into the officials. The official opening "At Home" and trial fours of the Waitemata Boating ; Club will be held next Saturday. A set , of trophies for the trial fours have been , presented by Mr. W. G. Smith, vicecommodore, and one of the founders of the club. Ever since the Whangarei Regatta wa» instituted several years ago, it has always been a moat popular event with the , Auckland aquatic community. The j Northern people spare no efforts to make it the People's Day of the year. Th» I sum of £153 has been allotted in prizemoney, £75 going to the rowing events, £50 to the launch races, and £29 to yachting. Everything points to tho rowing events attracting large entries and providing very keen racing. Ail races will be rowed under the rules of the New Zealand Amateur Rowing Association and "the Auckland Rowing Association. *> Entries for all races close with Mr. Buckler, secretary of tho Auckland Rowing Association, on December 22- Special excursion steamers will run from Auckland. An energetic committee, with Mr. W. N. Jack as secretary, is doing all in its power for the success of the regatta. After the regatta a smoke concert will be held in Whangarei. at which all coin- ■ petitors and club members will be tha guests of the association. — „
