The eights race was magnificent with all States represented.
It resulted in a creditable win to Western Australia who reportedly
gave a splendid exhibition of rowing with Tasmania second.
The race was rowed from the 3 mile 2 chain mark to the 2 chain
mark at Queen’s Bridge. Victoria started well and took
the early lead from WA. WA then took the lead from Victoria
and South Australia before the half way mark. However by the
half way mark Tasmania had rowed themselves into the lead with
WA second. By the two mile mark WA regained the lead and kept
it to the finish. The margin between first and second was 2
lengths but the margins between the rest of the field were
the closest on record. The field was very much bunched together.
