ROWING REGATTA
PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMENTS. CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTS. Arrangements for wliat promises to be the biggest rowing regatta held in Wellington for some time are now well in hand by tlic Regatta Club. Untilthe present year the regatta • was controlled by the local association, but. it was found that at the busiest period of the season regatta arrangements occupied most of the association’s time, and other important matters required .to be shelved. As a consequence, the Regatta Club was formed, and although activities have only just started, quite a number of members--have been*, obtained. and it is expected that large numbers of old rowing men will take this opportunity of assisting the committee to make the regatta a success. Rowing is fast coming back into its own, as the fine races witnessed in the interclub regatta on Saturday showed, and given fine weather- on February 24th some good exhibitions of this sport will be seen. To' add greater interest to the regatta, the Rowing Association has decided to lrcrld the- annual interprovincial four-oar clrampionship of New Zealand on the same date, when 6ome of New Zealand’s ’ finest oarsmen will be seen in action.
