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.

The Queensland crew were all from the Brisbane Ladies' Rowing Club and raced a Victorian crew from Albert Park Ladies' Rowing Club. It was a stirring race with Queensland winning by two feet. The Warrnambool crew retired about half way. The race was rowed in clinker outriggers with sliding seats.
