ACQUATICS.
The Pieton Rowing club have started the season with a will. They intend to purchase two new boats—one a four-oar racer, and the other a clinker. The entries for races to be rowed on the first November were in on Saturday, when crews were drawn for pair oar races for two medals presented to the club by Mr A. <l. Fell, and a trophy presented by E. W. Mills, of Wellington. In the event of Pieton not. being chosen ; as the course
for the Championship Regatta, the Picton Club have decided to vote for Dunedin this year. The I’ieton boys are very enthusiastic, and are likely—if their enthusiasm lasts —to render a good account of themselves in this year's doings. The I’ieton Snowball Minstrels are going to assist them by getting up a popular entertainment for their lienefit, on the 9th November.
