"SPARROW'S" TIPS.

TO THE EDITOB'OF THE SWNAWA4JB JHBBAIjISvi Sir,— l observe that " the Hawk" has got its eagle eyes on rae» Seeing! that the tipped crews for the different; heats, published in your last.Tueeday's issue, do not uphold--; thehonour placed 'upon them. Bu^^^ "Hawk" (like tbe rough, /cowardly bird that always takes the Marvin*; tage when its prey is down) i thinks * fit to strike at me and- draws -attention to the beaten crews in La;' very " unbirdly mann3r." Don't you think, Mr Editor, this is. very unsportsmanlike, nnd hot worthy of space in your valuable columns ? Now let us fix our attention -on the coming events for Tuesday ,nes; > v aving obtained this, allow me to venture a few re-murks (tips). AH the crews are training hard, rowing over the course morning, and .evening. One crew especiall/ is 'doing very -good' work . under the able tuition of a thorough gobd^cpacKl (what the club has been?' w&ntinj; for some time). The coiftp'eting crews to hold the oars in the'^rsfc' heat are Potter and Cook V; 'Howan and Redmond- This will be -a " tough go " and judging by the long, steady stroke, and,. tjhe .mapner , in which they sit the boat, I 'eSpfect ' the former crew to reach the^innipg,. post a length ahead. The Starting' post will next see Cowles and. Jkjtorse v. Nye and Lewis in line fo'c()ml)£|tj; the first mentioned two are showinggood form, and get very good pace out of their boat ; considering. , all things I have no hesitation^ in plao. ing them No. 1. Thanking youjyfpr; the insertion. lam&c, .c<v.i,;i}--i <,•■ ' / Spawrow}-
