I_PSR PIIRSS a.SBOCIATION.I Maech 26. The erewa engaged in the Championship Eegatta hava bean doing splendid work during tho laat few days, and in Eeveral instances there is a marked improvement, j The Junior Batewir-g Foora promises to be 1 a eloae thing, every crew entered being I looted upon as having a good chance. The j Blanheitua are much fancied locally, being ! excellently boated 5 but the Stars and . Wellin-j'ton have bf en doing capital work, and the winner of the event i3 well conce^led. The Wellington, men row in the Union's (Wanginui) boat, and their chance is enhaaced by the change. In the Champion Fours »11 the crewa entered will j start. Tho Auckland fciuß are thought 1 highly of, in faco o? the excellent spins ' they have had 3iuce their, arrival ; but the ; Canterbury men do not »ppear t~> bo rowing up to their reputation. The Nelson men are going well, and should be well up at the finish. Lyttelton, Stars, "Wellington, Unions (Wiuagatmi trad Chnsteaitrc-h) all put in good work yesterday, tho Unions (Christchurcb) and Wellingtons going especially well. Auckland h&3 tho inside place { ne^ii Mnbel Inland, nnd next come Lftfcel- ; tea, Union (Christcbuvch), Union (Wanganui), Canterbury, Wellington, Nalsan and Stara in the order named. Neleon I and the Sfcars should fisrht out the finish in j the Maiden Foure. The Stars, Canterbury and Wellington are equally fancied for the J Junior Oatrigged Fours, bufc the Nelson } men ohowed excellent form and combina- i tion ycs!:erdAy, and cacnot be far out at i the finish. Croabie and Samuelß are con- j sidered a moral for tbe Champion Double ) Sculld and Piirj, but in the former the j Stars should rivo i\\m a bsvJ rAC e, and in the latter Wellington »nd Canterbury ■ will take some beating. Popular opinion favours Auckland or Picton for the Senior Batswing Fours, but Blenheim has a strong crew in lha c-ve&t. ! The Stars wont very well yfisterday. j Hume, of the St-rs, ia going splendidly, ( aad his c'<ub roates think lie naa a big cbat c s in the Champion Singla Sculls. Yourg, cf Wellington, bai two hard races ! to row I e°oro tho sculls, which cannot but j ha73 an ttfect upon him. Tho wtatber i this morning at 9;30 o'clock was very! threatening, with a steady breeze from j the north- we3t, and rain looks to be close nt hand, Tbe seo. is not yet rou^h enough \ to necessitate a postponement ; and there is hope that, witb a Bhower of rain the wa'.er will calm down. Tho committee ha3 gone out in the Duoo to inspect the course, aud tho re3ultof tbeir deliberations | will bo made known shortly after ]0 a.m., , when the firßt race, the Junior Sculla, comes off. It blew hard ye3terday afternoon and ftli la=t night, but several of tha : crews faced the water, and had a spin under the lea of the land in the afternoon. Picton is crowded with visitors from all • parts of the colony. Latest. 10 a.m. — E'i.in ia beginning to fall, but j the eea ha3 the appearance of going down. ' The compjtitora for tbe Jimior Rcullb have j left for the starting post. j
