Mr. A. C. Norden will be starter and umpire. Apart from the Nixon Cup race all clubs will conduct full programmes. The rivalry between Waitemata and Auckland, the two leading city clubs, should provide excellent rowing.

Bishop. The St. George's Club has arranged trials for the Thomas Cup. Eights will appear for the first time this season at West End, where subscription trials will be rowed. University has not set down any special competitions, but it is likely that subscription fours will be decided, while similar races may be contested by the North Shore Club.
