AQUATICS.
(SPECIAL TO UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
London, October 28,
Beach is very indignant at Hanlan’s pretensions re the sculling championship, and offers to row him on the Parramatta River for £SOO or upward. Matterson has thrown out a similar challenge to Hanlan. Matterson and Kemp have been matched to scull on the Parramatta in May next for £4OO a-side.
November 2. Gaudaur offers to row Hanlan and Beach.
The first heat of the Wellington Rowing Club’s trophies presented by Mr John Young will be rowed about the 15th instant. Entries close to-day. A deputation representing the Star Boating and Wellington Rowing Club’s waited on the Public Works Committee of the City Council on Monday, for the purpose of urging the reservation for the clubs of a water frontage of 250 ft of the new reclamation immediately this side of the mole. The new shed which the Wellington RowiDg Club propose erecting (about 60 feet south of the Star Club’s sheds) will be a neat little structure, containing bath-rooms, dressing-rooms, &c., and having a floating skid at the rear. The members of the Club, if they get this shed erected, will have ample acoommodation easy of access.
