DRAW CONDUCTED BY MAGISTRATE POSITIONS ON RIVER From Our Own Correspondent HAMILTON, Today. The draw for positions on the river for crews competing in the Hamilton Regatta on Anniversary Day was conducted by Mr. Wyvern Wilson. Two representatives of the Hamilton Club, one representative of North Shore Club, and two pressmen, including The Sun’s local correspondent, were present.
