was run from Jhillarat. cttTiveyed
about 300 excursionists. Crowds congre
gated, of course, and as usual about tile
bridge and south bank and other points
of vantage where no charge of admis
sion was made, but it was pleasing to
notice that the reserve on the north
bank, to which there was an admission
charge, was well patronised. The re
serve has seldom presented a mure ani
mated appearance. It was rather warm
in the early part of the day, hut a
light southerly breeze improved the con
ditions later. The river was unusually
high, and the surface was scarcely dis
turbed by a ripple. Oarsmen could not
liavo wished for a better day. Twenty
eight races were decided, including
eleven eight-oared events, and the oili
cials are to be complimented on the ex
cellence of their arrangements. There
were a few unavoidable delays, but the
programme was completed a few minutes
after the schedule time. As usual,
large numbers followed the races in
drags, buggies, motor cars and other
vehicles on the south bank—at some
risk. Happily no mishap of any kind •
occurred. In the committee's drag,
which was in charge of Mr. T. 13. Bqs
toek, were several visitors, including
.Messrs. McDonnell, Crostliwaito ' and
Sheppard, inter-State rowing selectors,
and Messrs. Burko and Elsworth, of
Ballarat. Mr. George Upward, of.Mel- •
liourne, another,rowing enthusiast, hud
a seat in.a private buggy. During the .
afternoon the St., Augustine's ., Band,
under. Bandmaster "'Hoffman, played a
pleasing programme in the reserve.

lieats and a .final, resulted-in favor of •
