laclory for sculling, the water being like glass. A good start was effected, but Hannan (tiie holder of Hie championship) was obviously a class ahead of Wells, and he drew steadily away. AYlu-ii half their journey had been coverered, Hannan was loading hv a length and a half. At this stage, AVolls informed the umpire that his slide had broken, and he and Ids boat were flicked ii]i by a launch. Hannan finished the course alone, covering the distance in 21.14. The attendance was poor, on accfnmt of the weather. Tho purse was paid over in tho presence of a big crowd at the theatre at Pic-ton on Saturday night.
