It has definitely been decided that the Uni"n crew, holders of the New Zealand championship, will leave for Australia on October 12 for the purpose of representing New Zealand at the Henley regatta on October 27. The crew is in fine fettle, and with Clarrie Healey as stroke it is believed it will give a good account of itself. It is hoped that A. K. Jackson (Dominion champion sculler) will be able to make the trip also, but if funds will not permit an effort is to be made to send him over in December to meet H. R. Peace, the Olympic champion.
