ROWING COMPLAINT
CREWS NOT LEFT TO DROWN.
WIND STARTED AFTER RACE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, June 3. Replying to the Wellington rowing coach’s complaint regarding the control of the inter-provincial eights . race, Mr. Glengarry, who was the umpire, stated that when the race started the conditions were suitable, and it was not until half a mile had been rowed that a gusty wind started. Mr. Glengarry added that he particularly objected to the statement that the crews were left to swamp and drown. He rescued the Wellington eight, taking aboard three members and the coxswain, and signalling, a nearby launch to take the balance and tow the boat home. He then followed the Canterbury crew inshore to ensure their safety.
