Opening Out.

The three crows gradually opened out from the beginning. Both the Electric and B. & S. were striking 26 at the start, but the Electric were quicker of the mark. A:P:C. in the Hong Kong Station, seemed to have the best of the water. though they probably did not get full value from wind and tide. Their rowing was sluggish-through- out, and they were never striking over 25 at any point on the course.

Towards the middle of the course Electric' seemed to be about three-

quarters of a length up. By this time the rate of striking had fallen to but the boat was still running well between strokes.

About this point B. & S. became rather ragged for a few strokes, and the boat was bucketing, but they soon steadied down again. Meanwhile A... were still row ing without mush life, and the race seemed definitely between the other two. "/

General.

There are a few other points. It seems, that with the consent of the Committee a player could turn out for more than one League Team in a season. This clearly, I think, does not ensterlate the question of first and second teams and prob- ably the word team should be amended to **Club."* I cannot easily imagine, however, a case in which the Committee would consent.

Last Week's League Games: First Division..

The surprise of last Saturday was undoubtedly the defeat of the In- dian's "A" team. If anyone had told me one of the sides was going to be out for 52, I should have betted on its being the Navy as they are a bit apt to lose wickets quickly when n. rot sets in, I don't think that I recollect the fadians collapsing be- fore during the last three or four serisons and I don't believe they have just more than two or three League matches during this period.
