INTERPROVINCIAL REGATTA.

T9 the Editor, Sib,—As many people in Dunedin felt a little di aijpointed at the result of the late Interproviaci 1 Kegatta which to k place At Wellington, perhays the following feet < will prove that a (.roper amount of jtmtioe wa* n«.t done to the crew who went td represent Otago. • At the regatta atDunedim ot»the 2nd January, it yr*i found that the •* Union *• was the crew, and it was thought advisable tosmdthejta. to Wellicgton to repmeutOtagQ. They a0o0t& r ingly applied t j the Ot go Club for the of their outrigger, the !'Otago/fcnd their in*V *.er the '• ft's," wMch'were fla'.ly Ttfuted H*d Ihose boats been lent, the "Union?' irouldwojit

probably have won both races. As it was, the "Union” had to contend against a boat 7ft ongtr thanltheir own ; an l, although 1 boring under such a digidvan'aie, the “ Union ” kept up to the “ Transit,” which only won by two seconds. I ask the public is it not a shame, when a crew goes to represent the Province, that they should not have the use of the b >ats they ask for ? Do not the Otago Club disg'ace the name they bear? It is a pity the Otaso Club could not work under the motto of—“ Do unto others as you would have othen do unto you.”—l am, &c., Faib Play. Dunedin, February 4*
