With the key members of the NSW crew in the 1912 Olympic eight,
the NSW crew was based upon the Balmain crew with representatives
from Leichhardt and Enterprise. The race was rowed in some 24
seconds faster than the previous race six years ago and perhaps
showed the improvements in rowing during that period. Victoria
and Tasmania led out from the field but after the first mile,
Victoria had gained the lead. They maintained the lead until
the finish with a margin of two lengths. The Western Australian
crew was swamped during the race.
