O'Clock, and made the distance to Alexandria inside
OF an hour extraordinary fast time for the distance

| they found the barge of the ola Dominion Club
awaiting them, and, after passing the usual sau,es,

cub for crews of great strength, the only trouble be-
, house to go Into regular training. Tho work this

that those who have neglected to participate VII
come to the front aud make things as lively and in
Y terestlng as they were previous to 1850.
