ST. GEORGE'S CLUB HANDICAP SINGLE SCULLS The final of tho handicap single sculls for the George Cup, presented to the St George's Bowing Club in 1900 by Mr. Sidney Thome George, was contested on Saturday afternoon. There was a jobble on tho water which, however, did not trouble the scullers The contestants were:—ll. Tong, scr, and A. J. Goldfinch, 50s.
