Kemp, who rowed in five of the six races. He rowed in the first race of the day, and while the second heat was being rowed he changed from a Gladeville skiff to a best boat, and sculled up the river again to start in the next ritce. When that race finished, he changed back to his Gladstone, and won the final of the first event. From this he immediately changed into a heavy boat, and rowed second, and then he joined bis sister, Miss Fern Kemp, and won the mixed double sculls with her.
