ROWING.

[bv outrigger.] On a recent morning the rowing shed was very active, several of the four oar crews doing a considerable amount of good practice, Gordon's crew I fancy will liven matters up in the forthcoming ■ race. He has made rapid progress with his men, some of whom have never been in outriggers before, and the manner in which they have been coached speaks well of the captain. Speaking of the crew I can only say that Frauklin at No. 2 requires a good deal of watching, he being rather much inclined to miss the water at the beginning of his stroke and finishes too much ahead of his stroke’s pace. Shields at bow and and Gillespie at 3 are coming cu well indeed, and on the day of the race th is crew should take a lot of beating, I notice Gordon beleives in the “ early bird ” business, for he has been out the last two mornings with a coach doing the necessary “ roaring.” Shad bolt has been put with his crew only once The weak point appears to be Furrie in the bow, but the rest of the crew the stroke should feel pleased with. Pity he could not get out to do a little training occasionally. I hear he was out this morning giving two of his colts a little coaching in the pair. But what about the other crews ? Where is Gardner, Hickson, Eittlejohn, McKegney, and the balance of the members ? I have not seen any of the above rowers out for some time. I have seen Royal, Grace, Jeffery, and Bainbridge down at the shed repeatedly during the past week and have gone away very much disappointed with rowing generally. I think it is about time all the crews were out for one spin during the day, it not in the evening, why not in the morning. Surely members can manage to drag themselves out of bed and receive the benefit of the bracing air and the exercise which is badly needed by some of them. It may be, however, most of the members are doing their rowing in imagination only ! Wake up, members! This is no way to work up v a regatta, which, I hear, depends upon the success of this race. -
