The determination OF the Analostans to
purchase q new eight-oared shell is a
step in the right direction, and hope is
expressed that the crew that rowed i'll
asst years regatta will again come out.
1t was splendid crew, and had they

When the rowing and canoeist element
IF our section make their first visit to
the river they will be more than sur
