The second German success was secured by H. Buhtz, of Berliner Ruder Club, who as was generally expected, won the Diamond Sculls. He thus repeated his victory of two years ago, and he set up a new record for the event by becoming the first foreign competitor to win the Sculls twice. Buhta is, a beautiful sculler and
