James's Jane, M'Lennan's Star of Mersey, and Peter Sutherland's Psyche. The Star of Mersey got away with a good start, but after rounding the first beacon Carbine began to draw to the front, coming in first (time, 59min 30seo), Jane second (3min behind), Star of Mersey third (lmin behind Jane).

Davis in 14min. ~r „ Mr Thomas Ross was starter, and Mr D. Larnach hon. secretary and timekeeper. D.A.B.C. TRIAL PAIRS. - The final heat of the D.A.B.C Trial Pairs for Mr R Swan's (vice-president) medals was rowed off last evening. A strong sou-wester made matters very unpleasant for the competitors.

Columb took the lead at the wall and led to the wharf, but was passed in the run home by both Hanlon and Sullivan, the former winning by less than » length, the others close up.
