The weather on Sunday was even better than on the preceding day. For one thing, it was several degrees warmer in temperature and furthermore there was hardly any wind. Many visitors travelled up by the 8.15 special, but there was ample room on the train, though, strange anomaly, the return tickets gave out before all were sa*isfied, and only singles could be bought at the end.
Shanghai scored another win in the Interport Eights, thg first event on the forenoon's card. Tientsin did not enter a crew for this interport event, Shanghai's only challenger being Hongkong, who put up a very plucky fight, getting away well at the start and leading for over four furlongs, giving hope to their many supporters of a win in this classic event for the Southern port. The Pairs were also won by Shanghai, and thus our local oarsmen swept the board, winning all four interport events.
An interport dinner was held at the Astor House in the evening, the prizes being distributed by Sir Edward Pearce.
