H. P. Wilkinson, Led. 10 2... 2

Nielsen, Green nolo Black and Red had inside place, Green centre avd Red outside place. They had the sun in their faces which was a great disadvantage where there was only one jan ina buat. Lhe water, however, was smoother, Green steered wildly, but had the lend, the others being about level a short distance behind. Red soon took second place and Green getting tired, fell back and gave up the race opposite the rails. Black and Red for u time continued to steer badly, and Red kept inas straight a line as possible, but this did not prevent his opponent increasing his lead, and then Red fell off and his steering became very erratic; the result being that he was beaten by sume lengths.
