The World has come on with a crew in their training, but as yet the full composition is not known. They have five Norwegians as a nucleus, ud A. Sevald has demonstrated that he is as experienced as any of the oarsmen in the Club. That Norway will be very close at the finish of the Fours is undoubted, and the prospects are now based on how the bow for performs in the contest.
The reason for rowing off this most important race at such an early hour is that the traffic on the river on May 15—a Sunday—will be too much to allow the best performances from eight oared boats.
Crews have been training steadily for this particular event and several have been out repeatedly at this unearthly hour, finding conditions better than those met with during the day. The Eights, taking place as they do a week before the actual regatta, will serve to leave the major race in the regatta proper, the International Fours and here there al Pairs are like to be picked in.a similar manner, and five entries, similar to those in the fours are expected. The third of the International races, the Junior International Fours, is likely to attract uch of a following and the fours' performances are expected by many to be quite as good as that of the stroke fours.
Class races are open. Th Griffins will provide several crews among which are: B. Ң. iMacmtchael, R. Corbett, C. P. Kahmann, J. Lund, A. D. Sayle, L H. Hutchison K. W. Corneck, C. Harrop, C. Blatchford, R. A. Dodd, A. Davis, Austen, J. Hawkins, K. Petersen, P. Stumpf, F.
Shoefner, J. Filman, and Guertz.
Crew in the Juniors are being fermed and of these, H. Farmer, H.
C. F. Aris, J. R. M. Warner and G.
Harrop are the most promising. Others are in the course of getting the worst of their faults eradicated.
Visitors to the regatta w have the opportunity of viewing it from the Bui and an excellent view of the finish will be seen.
