Wellington Regatta.
[Per Pbess Association.J
Wellington, This day.
The rowing races, postponed from Saturday, are being rowed to-day. There is light southerly weather, with a smooth sea. For the Four-oared Inrigged Race only the Star Club, of Wellington, and the Union Club, of Wanganui, competed, and the latter won easily by 2| lengths. For the Double Sculls, the Union Club (Christchurch), Star Club (Wellington), and Te Aro Club (Wellington), started. The Star Club crew led Christchurch by two lengths, until rounding the first bnoy, where bad steering allowed Christchurch tp come up, and on rounding the second buoy they were on level terms with the Star, the third boat a quarter of a mile away. A good race was expected to the winning post, but whea 100 yards from the post, the bow oar of the Stars ceased pulling, and the Cbristchurch men rowed in easy winners. The Te Aro crew did not finish. The reason of the mishap was a broken skull.
