They all know how to row, and witha stroke like Mr. F. W. Reis there is no doubt that the M. H. L.'s will have their work cut out to beat them. Strict attention to training is, however, necessary and this applies to both crews. In the Spring Regatta the crews seem to think that it is not necessary to train, as it is only a short distance, but they ought to remember that tore wa short race with a fast stroke all through requires nearly as much training as along race with a slower stroke. It's the pace that kills, and the best trained crew will win as it always has done.
We noticed that Mr. F, A. Cumming, of sculling renown, was stroking the Mibho-Joong eight on Monday night as their stroke was seeing off his brother, Mr. E. C. Pearce, formally Captain of the Rowing Club, who with his charming wife and family left us by the Aden for a well-deserved holiday. E. ©. P. in his usual quiet way has worked hard for the SR. Gand has eucceoded in bringing it to its present flourishing position, and we are sure that he carries with him the good wishes of all the members for a very pleasant holiday, and also those of Box anp Cox.
