What is to be done with the \cup? It may be put among the Rowing Club's relies; but the more interesting suggestion is made that Bankers and Merchants should compete for it again at the next regatta. They should have difficulty in getting good eights together and, as on the first occasion, the losers would no doubt be delighted to present their opponents with replicas of this time worn souvenir. Some honour should certainly be paid to it after so long and interesting a sent mental journey. How it chanced te fall into an almost despised corner of a provincial auction room history probably will never relate.
