New Racing Fours

Through the generosity of Mrs F. J. Arnold, of Korere, and the late Mr Charles Hamilton the Nelson rowing club has two beautiful new racing fours. The boats, built at a cost of £350 each by Mr Stiles, Christ-church, were presented to the club in December. Mrs Arnold and Mr W. K. Tomlinson, who represented the Hamilton family, were made life members of the club.
