Menzies (stroke). Fell’s crew was the quickest to get away, obtaining by this means a lead of about a length. This they maintained throughout, and although Menzies’ came with a fine spurt at the finish, he was unable to overhaul Fell, who won by one length and a half. Mr H. L., Wiggins (deputy captain) acted as starter, and Mr G. H. Bethune (captain of the club) as judge.

When received the table, which is to be completely equipped for billiards, pool and pyramids, is to be placed in the social room of the boathouse, and will bo the means of adding another attraction to the many advantages now enjoyed by the members of this, old-established club.
