The Maiden Race, for four-oared inrigged boats, was won by the Wanganui Club, Wellington Stars second, and Union third ; won very easily, the Wellington men being over-matched. The Senior Fours, inrigged boats, two miles, prize £20, was won by the Union ; Wanganui second ; Wellington Stars third. This race was the event of the day, and was thought to be between the two local crews. The boats got away together, but the Union got the start, J and led to the finish, whining easily.
