Barry by a distance. There was intense interest in what proved to be a one sided contest, and crowds lined both sides of the Thames. ■ Ted Phelps, who helped to train Pearce for the Olympic Games, won the championship in 28 minutes 5 seconds. He was leading nearly all the way. He is a son of the well-known sculler, Bossy Phelps. There was a following wind and smooth river.
