Both crews bent their oars to almost
the breaking point at the start and a
terrific burst of speed was developed,
the Healanis taking the lead but after
rounding the lighthouse the Reds mov-
ed up and passed by. When the buoy
was being rounded the Healanis began
to crawl up again but in coming back
into the home course she struck the
wash from the tug EIeu, shipped cou-
pie of seas and fell far to the rear. The
Blue crew feel that they could have
made a much better showing but for
this accident The Myrtles came across
the line about twelve lengths ahead
of the Healanis. Time: Myrtles, u:

The Myrtles kept up their good luck
by taking the third of the barge races, !
winning by a closer margin, however,
than in the previous races. The starts
started with rafting clip, which fell {
off considerably before the finish. The

The pair-oared race was unfortunate
for the rowers, somewhat jumbled by
ne presence of a number of sailing
raft in the channel which caused both
oats to be retarded. No time was
lken, although the Healanis won, the
rst time during the day the first
.ophy had gone to the Blues. The
-ealani boat held Dan Renear and
aul Jarret and both rowed in splendid
