UNION BOAT CLUB EXCITING DEAD-HEAT IN CLUB FOURS. Last evening the second series of races in the Union Boat Club’s fours, was held, and the contest between C. Aitkin and R. Edwards proved to be one of the most thrilling club races seen for many seasons. Both crews hopped away smartly, Aitkin establishing a canvas lead which he held to just on the finishing line, where Edwards put in a splendid spurt to make a dcad-heat of it. The re-row between F. Wilspn and E. Gullery resulted in a win for the former crew by a margin of two lengths. Edwards’ crew will again measure blades with Aitkin’s men this evening, and another stirring fininsh is predicted.
