LATE SPORTING

SYDNEY OARSMEN RETURNING FROM ENGLAND [Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, September 2!). The members of the Sydney Honing Club team which represented Australia in the Grand Challenge Cup race at the Henley Centennial Regatta, are through passengers from England, accompanied by the singles sculler, H. J. Turner. There were eight teams in the event, five representing English clubs, but these were completely overshadowed by the visitors, particularly by Harvard University, which won by many lengths. Sydney was beaten in the semi-final by Argonaut, Canada, which lost to Harvard. Turner was beaten in his heat by Verey, of Poland, who lost in the final to J. Burk, of America. A. Turner won the singles at the Marlow Regatta.
