THE AMATEUR QUESTION.
Speaking OF amateurs learn that there Is some
objection TO the Seaw anhaka crew-0r, Iatner an
objection to one OF the members OF the crsw-on
conditions by which an amateur Is considered. 1t
is TO be hoped that II the objections o the men,

be Will be excluded. for nothing Is SO likely hurt
oarsmen SO much as the Introduction OF men not
duly qualified to row as amateurs There have
been too manv attempts made to introduce men
not, strictly speaking amateurs, and the sooner
the thing Is settled the better. II the Seawan-
haka man Is all right he should be allowed to row
II not he should be debarred. This Is but justice,
and 1t should be enforced.
All the crews are mere now. and ior the next few
days practice work on the lake Ia gong TO be
