ROWING.
Inter-State Four-oar Race. It will be of interest to rowing men throughout the Dominion, and the members of the Waitemata Club in particular, to know that Mr A. D. Bayfield (secretary of the New Zealand Rowing
Association) received intimation by last week's mail that the Tasnuinian Tourist Association is arranging a large carnival, to be held about March, 1910, and has offered to provide funds for an interstate four-oared championship race, if it is able to obtain entries from either Australia or New Zealand. It proposes to allot a sum towards the travelling expenses of each State and £25 for the purchase of trophies for the winners. As the New Zealand championships for 1910 -will probably be decided a little before the date mentioned, the proposal of the Tasmanian people offers an excellent opportunity for a New Zealand crew to measure blades with Australian oarsmen.
