pire for the rowing. Mr. H. J. H. Tripp and Capt. E. Buric acting in a similar capacity for the yachts and sailing boats respectively. Mr. J. P. McEuen, R.N., and Mr. R. K. Leigh acted as judges, and their decisions left no room for cavilling. The members of the Committee did everything possible to ensure a thorough success, and a word of praise is certainly due_to_the honorary secretary, Mr. J. H. Stewart-Lockhart, who was ubiquitous in His exertions.

The races were the best contested we have seen for a long time. As usual, the Junior Sculls ended in a fiasco, Glass getting the race on a Bul. The old Royal Artillery boat Gunner bad no difficulty in adding one more to its long list of victories in the gig race, and then Hughes, Stewart, Goodlad and Glass, steered by G. A. Caldwell, scored a complete runaway victory for the Chair man's Cup, the German crew securing second place after a hard struggle. As there were three Scotchmen in the winning boat, our prediction that the International looked in a fair way of falling to the cannie chiels" from the north side of the Tweed bids fair to be realised. There was a splendid race for the German Cup,the whole of the crews keeping close together until close home. Eventually Fisher's crew in the Sham rock won a brilliantly contested struggle from the Kornblume (Kultzau), with the other three close together; and overlapping each ether.

Another supposed certainty was upset in the Welsh Cup, Mr. Kerfoot Hughes' valuable trophy, falling to Grimble's crew, who were the outsiders of the party, but nevertheless managed to win cleverly from Fisher's team, who were backed at long odds against the field,
