Our Illustrations.

This week we present our readers with some pictures which must be of interest to all rowing men. We reproduce pictures of the West End Rowing Club’s Senior Four, Heavy Weight Juniors, and Light AVeight Juniors. The Senior quartette won races at the Ponsonby and Drunken Bay Regattas. The Heavy Weight Juniors are an unbeaten lot and won races at the Ponsonby, Hamilton, Drunken Bay, Auckland, Jewellers’ Picnic, and Ngaruawahia Regattas. The Light Weight Juniors were never vanquished during the season, and scored victories at the Ponsonby, Drunken Bay, and Auckland Regattas, besides capturing a race in the Senior division. Master E. Carter, whose photograph we also re-produce, steered during the season twenty five crews for the W.E.R.C., and of this number of races victory rested with his crew twenty-three times. Such a record as this is one that the young gentleman will be proud of for life. A picture of Daystar who many think has been bought to win the New Zealand Cup, is given this week, also a picture of Rangipunehu, a winner at the Hawke’s Bay meeting last week. On the theatrical stage is a picture of Mr Ritson, the wellknown stepdancer.
