THAMES.

A sporting event of no little interest to the Eastern Banka took place on the evening of Sept. 28 on the broad reaches of the River Thames, between Harrod's buildings and Putney Bridge. Some weeks ago the rowing members.

the Hongkong Bank issued a chal- lenge to the Chartered Bank to row over a course of nine furlongs, and although the time allowed for train- ing was necessarily short, the chal- lenge was taken up. The race tools place after the tide had begun to ebb, and resulted in a win for the Charter- ed Bank by three lengths. A large of enthusiasts from both number of Bauke travelled down to Puthey and followed the race in steam launches, Conditions were ideal.

Amongst those in the umpire dont were Sir Newton and Lady Stabb, Mr. and Mrs. Edkins, Mrs. MacGregor, Mr. H. D. Jones, Mr. George Miller and numerous others, including several representatives from the East of both. Banks.

The crews were as follows:

The Chartered Bank of India:- Bow, L K, James; 2, R. W. Skinner: R. C. Mockness; stroke, H. G. Ban- ham; cox, L. Washington.
