Kirk and W. Roderick, 6seo, met A. Russell and R. Kellett Bsec. The latter made good use of their handicap, and despite the efforts of Kirk and Roderick to get on terms, they maintained their lead, and won a good race by a length.
The second heat was between F. Fox and and J. Glennie, 4sec, and A. Kirk and J Muir, Bsec. Kirk and Muir got a good lead with their handicap, and though Fox and Glonnie rowed well throughout, they were unable to pass their opponents, who won a hard race by half a length.
