Rowing.

It is understood that the Invercargill Rowing boys are very much disgusted, with the action of "the heads" in cutthig out the proposal to compete at the fort-h-coming Queenstown regatta, which taies place on Saturday, April 3. The orewa that wero chosen and names of crews published recent-ly, would have been toughies with a little training (a fortnight at least was at their disposal). The heads should have given the erews a chanee, as without trying, no results are recorded. Railway crews have lacked training of late and appear to be taking Queenstown too cheaply, as it must be remembered that Otago crews and Oamaru, as well as Awarua (Bluff) and Riverton' s will b right out for first honours. The Railway Junior Four that has showed such a grand performance during the season, is starting in the Lake Wakatipu championship fours and ought to ha well up when the finishing shot is fired. G. Webb is stroking the above crew, with! A. White (three), S. Webb (two) and E, R. Latham (bow). Coxswais F. McManus and S. Ward will journey to Queenstown with Railway crews and Frankie is looking forward to a rest from school, like Syd. F. McManus showed his eapabilities at all the local regattas, and also at Wan-. ganui, where he steered to victory Railway 's Junior Pair crew (G. Webb and E. R. Latham), also the Uawa crew (whq unfortunately had no coxswain) and great credit is due to him. Syd is just a new chum at the sportf but is shaping very well. The secretary (Mr O. R. Baker) of ihe Railway Rowing Club, wishes all membera to watch the daily papers for notiee of af special general meeting, that is to be held shortly after Queenstown R,egatta is ovfiSe
