Charles E. Stone was the oldest St George’s ‘Red Coat’. He won the championship singles 4 years in a row - in 1908/09 at Auckland, in 1909/10 at Picton, in 1910/11 at Wanganui and in 1911/12 at Dunedin. He died in the 1978/1979 year at the age of 97 years.   

He was awarded the Rathbone Cup for winning the singles three times in succession and, according to the conditions, it became his property; it was decided at a committee meeting on 3 Feb 1908 to write to Mr. E.W.G Rathbone (who was the Vice Commodore of the Club) to that effect.  Mr Rathbone generously surrendered his ten debentures for the purchase of a new sculling trophy.  It was noted in the 1911 AGM minutes that he had won the NZ Championship sculls for the 3rd time – this was a record for the Dominion of NZ. In 1911 C.E. Stone was not able to take part as an amateur in the Australasian championships on the Paramatta as he had previously competed on one occasion in the Auckland gaslight sports.
