Ross, VIM. Chamberlain, James
Lloyd and Henry Williams, stroke.
Myrtles - Henry Giles, George
Angus, Thomas King and o. Sor-

The Myrtles had choice of posi-

crews pulled for all they were
worth. Strokes were perfect. All
aboard The official launch remarked
upon their beauty. The pilot said
he never had seen better in his life.

the nearest spectators, those on the
launch, conceded the race to the
blue and white.
But it was not to be SO. When

weaken several minutes before,
His struggle to keep the stroke
was very creditable, and won fol
the crew the hearty sympathy o
both sides. But the exertion wa.
