This was the first win for Western Australia in this event. Western Australia and Tasmania took the lead from the start and after a mile, the the Tasmanians led the field. The Western Australians rowed their way back into the race and taking the winning post 3⁄4 length ahead of Tasmania with the Victorians two lengths further back and never in the top of the field.

The South Australians were represented by a Murray Bridge crew who were selected without a test race. The SARA Annual Report noted that the crew made a plucky attempt to secure the big race but bad water considerably interfered with their progress and blade work.
