All crews are now in solid training, but climatic conditions prevent the usual hard . daily training1. Another severe drawback is the ever Increasing scarcity of oars, some clubs having only one set of good racing oaw whilst other clubs have only two sets, and Ihe breaking of one oar (for some clubs) means that the crews will be unablu to participate. The railway Junior Four Crew, is stdl observed on the Estuary, putting in good wcrk and should not be left hehbd at Queenstown as this crew has not yet been defeated in the South Island. Being fouled at Wanganui prevented perhaps another j wm to its record. The annual general meeting of the Railway Club will be held in August of this year instead of September (as has been the practice in the past). This club has suffered severely in rogard to its members being transferred, The president Mr R. M. Isaacs, chief clerk ■ T.raffic Office, being transferred to Christchurch, Mr J. Connor of Workshops, vicepresident to Addington and Mr D. Hodie, v-'ho has been connected with the club for many years (being one of the founders) and vice-president and auditor for some considerahle time past) has received wor to transfer to Christchurch district, 33 Chief Relieving Officer, and transfers 10 the near future, his services will be gr«a ly missed by all members of the club' The single scull race is at a stand-sh ^ owing to weather conditions.
