Tabulation of Points
"100 Years of Champions" credits third place in the Senior C-1 to New Edinburgh. The Montreal Gazette, Aug 12, 1907, states that Grand Trunk was third in this event. I am inclined to go with the Gazette because it would mean Grand Trunk would have the extra point to win the championship over Toronto C.C.
NB: The points used in "Canada's Sprint Canoe Clubs," (2006) are based on Senior/Junior events only from 1904 to 1915.

Tabulation of points (3/2/1)
* Prior to 1908, the Western clubs competed at the annual Henley regatta in St. Catharines. This was considered their de facto championship.
** The Gazette refers to Davidson having raced as a guest from Lachine Boating Club, however Davidson raced for St. Stephen's (located in Lachine) at the national championships in 1907.

* Prior to 1908, the Eastern clubs competed at local regattas only and not all clubs attended all local regattas. The Longueuil Regatta was the last competition prior to the National Championships and likely played a major role in determining the final crews that would attend.
INTER-CITY REGATTA 'LITTLE CCA' ??
# Club Pts
The Inter-City Regatta, affectionately dubbed 'Little CCA,' was originally staged in the 1900s, ceasing with a Grand Trunk win in 1907. The tradition of this Ottawa and Montreal area club competition was reinstated in 1937.
